Donating Blood For Community Service

For my 5th hour of community service I donated blood. My dad has always gone and donated every few months for as long as I can remember so when I heard about the blood drive at school, one of my friends talked me into doing it with her. Although I was extremely nervous, I decided to go with her anyway. After watching a small mishap with her veins and the doctor, I became way too nervous, wimped out and left before I had the chance to donate. After I left though, I was so mad I did.
A few weeks later my dad went and took me with as a way for me to redeem myself and I did! When I went and donated for community service this was the second time that I had done it.
When I went inside I signed in and waited for my turn. They called me back and I answered a lot of questions and they had to check my blood for the correct iron levels. Once they cleared me I went and sat in the chair. They poked me with the needle but it wasn't too painful and it only took about 10 minutes. When it was over they put a bandaid on it which I had to keep on for a few hours.
