I heard the news that we would have a Worldwide Blood Drive to Give Life Through the Love of the Passover.
Just in time, it was my class-free day, so I joined it. Since it was a good opportunity to share God’s love, I willingly showed my intent to participate in it, but I was a little afraid. I’d never donated blood before, and when I thought of blood donation, all I could think of was a cold, scary needle.
At the event, thanks to the members who welcomed me with smiles from the entrance, I could relax.
I went into the bloodmobile, encouraged by the members’ cheer.
I was afraid for a moment, but encouraged, seeing the members donating blood in the opposite side of bed.
‘Maybe, she too would be scared of the needle like me. I’ll show my smile to make her relax.’
While even worrying about other members, my blood donation was over. Then I joined cheering on other members donating blood.
I heard that blood drives are full of love. From my experience, I could feel not only love but also beautiful unity.
All the way back home, I could not stop smiling, thinking of my brothers and sisters.
