I. Introduction
I volunteered for the Red Cross Blood Drive on December 17, 2015 at Fowler High School. The Red Cross does blood drives, because they want to help people who are sick and who are weak, because they don't have enough blood in their body.
          Mission: The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. The American Red Cross is the nation’s largest blood collection organization, supplying approximately 40 percent of the blood and blood products used in our country.
          During the Red-Cross Blood Donation time at George W. Fowler, I volunteered to take the responsibility to make lists of the names of people who donated blood to save others' lives.  I helped organize by putting the donated blood in the crates and containers to deliver it to the Red Cross. After the individuals were done donating blood, I helped distribute free shirts to the donors. When someone came to donate blood, I directed them to the donating area at Fowler.
          After organizing the crates and containers, it was my job to check in with Mr. Gates (Teacher) who I was working for as a volunteer to see how well I was doing with the job. When there was an error, he corrected the mistakes that were made. I used the computer to check the names of the people who were finished with the blood donation. Mr. Gates directed me to check the names because he believed that doing this would help me to be well organized and know how many people are done with the blood donation.

VI.  Conclusion:
My personal reactions to the act of performing community service are positive because if we help to donate blood, we will save other people's lives. I feel that I made a difference because I helped write down the names of people who donated, and they were helping to save the lives of others. I think that community service has a great impact on society because, if I help one person, then they will go help others and then society will change. I would recommend my community service opportunity to other students because it was a good experience and I enjoyed it. I was able to help people and I was able to meet new people.
