Blood Drive at PVHS!!

Yesterday, March 27th, Key Club hosted the annual Blood Drive in the 500’s building. Students and staff were able to donate blood on campus for people in need, throughout the day. I asked people who participated in the event to talk about their experience.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to donate. I didn’t meet the height & weight requirements. Although I couldn’t donate, I will still encourage other people to try. I felt very defeated, angry & disappointed with myself because I wasn’t able to donate my blood & help people who are in dire need of my blood. To my friends & strangers who are unable to donate due to any circumstances, I say to you “ don’t ever give up, try again, you may surprise yourself in actually donating one day”. Isis Diaz(12)
My experience was really fun I had a great time helping out in the blood drive and making sure everybody was okay. I didn’t get any blood taken from me due to the fact that I was sick. I donated last year and I felt a little bit tired. My reason for donating was getting the chance to make a difference and help save a life. When I donated last year I was nervous because it was my first time giving blood. I would totally do it again I actually donated 3 times already. Karina Martinez (12)
My experience with the blood drive was amazing it wasn’t painful and I felt good after donating. My reason for donating was that I’ve donated in the past and it was very convenient that the blood drive was at school. I wasn’t nervous because I’ve donated before and know how it feels. I would donate again because it’s for a good cause. Mayra Bautista (12) (Far Left)
