You know age is a funny thing.
At 16, you can drive and sneak out.
At 18, you can drive to the store and buy sparklers and krazy glue.
But what about 17? It seems like it's just a 'filler' year, right?
I am happy to tell you that this just is not true because when you're 17 you can start doing the craziest thing of all--you can donate blood!! Muahaha!!
I guess I've been thinking about this for a while, since my birthday is coming up, and yes indeed, I will be voting in this year's elections--boo-ya!--and I wondered what made my 17th year special. Well I am happy to say that while many things happened through out the year, I was able to give blood and save up to three lives! I'm like a super hero!!!
And I'm going to do it again before my birthday. I got a call the other day, and happily agreed to schedule a time to donate.
Donating blood is so important, and I am uber-proud to be a part of this life-saving service. Fortunately I'm not one to faint so it's easier for me that it is for others, but I strongly recommend getting out there and donating!
You too can be a superhero! And if you already donate, then I commend you, superhero!
