October of 2015, a meeting between Ann Beal and myself to discuss the proper forms and what is to come with setting up a blood drive. The process to set up a blood drive included setting a date and place, recruiting people to donate, spreading the word, and coming to the scheduled place on donation day. January 6th, at the Trinity United Church of Christ from 11 o’clock to 7 o’clock, I was volunteering at registration. Months before was the recruitment of donors. This consisted of putting up posters, talking to individuals face to face, and using social media to help spread the word.
During the actual day of the drive, I came in early to help the nurses set up and go over how the registration should work. First, the schedule was to be checked if the donor signed up online. Next was to give the donor a sticker; green for first time donors and red for those who are familiar with the process. Then, the donors had to read a pamphlet of background information about donating. When it was the donor’s turn, they were interviewed by a nurse on family and personal history. A pick of blood was drawn to see if the donor was eligible to donate blood. The actual donation process took a brief fifteen to twenty minutes. After the blood was drawn, there were seating areas with snacks and water and more information on donating. The information included what to and not to do after and before donations, along with other drives and more information on the drives.
Hosting a blood drive is significant because it saves lives. Blood donations are taken to local hospitals to those who need them for transfusions, emergencies, organ transplants, and even studies on cancer patients. Each regular donation saves up to three lives, and each double red donati...

...the questions were easy to answer. Overall, the interview went well and I was happy with the feedback I received.
For my graduation project, I volunteered in hosting a blood drive January 6th, 2016 from one o’clock to seven o’clock. Blood drives help save lives and give back to the community. During this project, I learned leadership skills, group work skills, and more information about blood drives. I volunteered by setting up a place and time for the drive, recruiting donors, and helping the donors register on the day of the drive. One thing I would like the audience to remember about my project is the importance of a blood drive and how you can help others and your community by taking out a small period of time in your day. I will use the things I learned when hosting a blood drive for the future when I donate again, and if i pursue my goal of becoming a doctor.
It was the summer of 2013 when I was living with my grandparents and they told me about volunteering at the church. I didn’t know what they were talking about, so I took the initiative to go find out for myself that following Sunday. I was in the balcony on Sunday, when I heard the announcements saying we can volunteer for their hope food pantry. I was excited because it was going to be a chance where I can help other and get community service hours. Volunteering I began to think positive thoughts and telling myself “ I am doing a good deed”.
I will contribute to the mission of the Nurse Corps Scholarship program by continuing to provide care to individuals in underserved communities. Medically underserved communities involve racial minorities, offenders and ex-offenders, crime or abuse victims, LGBTQ citizens, people with AIDS, and those that are economically disadvantaged. I was born in the small town of Monroeville, AL. It is a great town but it does not have the best resources when it comes to health care. Most members of this town, including my family, would bypass the hospital there and go to the one in the next town simply because they feel
In the beginning of my senior year I was eager to expand my understanding of how it would be to work in a hospital. An opportunity arose allowing me to volunteer in the hospital at the University of Chicago. I was able to volunteer at the children's playroom, which consisted of a weekly commitment. The daily tasks I had to perform where to enlighten the spirits of children and reduce the amount of anxiety that developed within them when they approached a hospital visit. I would play games, read books, or just company the patients at their bedside. I especially love to interact with the younger patients because their laughter and innocence warms my heart up.
When I learned that one individual can only do so much while a group of passionate individuals can even move mountains, I took on the role of a shift leader to moderate volunteers and joined the emergency department to study a new environment the hospital offer. During that time, I trained numerous volunteers and assisted countless staffs in saving lives at an effective rate with quality services. Many volunteers I trained are continuing their ardent determination to thrive in the small volunteer room alongside with zealous
...epersonalized. Although not every patient is easy to deal with and doctors are under colossal pressure, by inspiring students with a possible future in the medical field to get involved with type of community service early we can ameliorate the distressing situation. Coming into contact with, speaking to, and intimately understanding these incredible individuals can dramatically alter one’s perspective and ensure treatment with self respect and dignity. I strongly believe in this notion of early involvement. My changed view coupled with my future medical training in college will allow me to be a figure to emulate and hopefully inspire others to follow this path. By embarking on this monumental journey mankind has the opportunity to shape history and enrich the lives of others while personally experiencing the most rewarding of all endeavors: helping someone in need.
1. There is a blood drive this Friday at the fire station from 10 to 3. Please start your habit of blood donation right away.
So I’m terrified of needles, but they say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and I am certainly banking on that to be true every time I go to the Blood Center to donate blood, which is about every two months. I don’t like it, but it’s just such a good thing to do. I used to give whenever they would come around in those buses, but I stopped doing that after my first visit to the Blood Center. I discovered that you get much more individual attention when you go to the Blood Center at about seven o’clock on a Thursday night.
By donating blood to insure there is enough in supply, the life we save may be our own.
Due to time restrictions, panel members were normally unable to meet in advance, so they build up their own self-sufficient interview questions. Although the principal chaired the interviews, they were rarely conceded out in an identical manner and there was no high level of uniformity with the questions. No official scoring system was used...
I 'll start with the things I did wrong in this interview. First off, I wished I didn’t write down my questions honestly. Having written questions felt like I was going off topic too much. It almost felt like a script because I directly read the questions and it just felt unnatural. The conversation didn 't really seem to flow well because the questions I chose. If I did redo the interview I probably

I have given blood before and I am aware of the questionnaire and procedures used during the blood donation process.
At the beginning of this volunteer experience, I walked in hopeful that I would gain some knowledge about the different careers that the medical field possesses, but I got so much more than that. I learned that community service is about making an impact in the lives of other members who share my community.
Volunteering enables an individual to make a positive impact on his or her community, while empowering the individual to better his or her life. This summer, I had the opportunity to volunteer at many diverse locations. From the hospital to the local library, I truly value my experience and treasure everything it has thought me. Volunteering lets us experience and learn things that we otherwise would not have learned; volunteering opens doors for us that we may not have been able to open before. Volunteering provides us with guidance and tolerance which we may use in the future to aid us in our decisions. At first glance, volunteering may seem to only benefit those who are helped, but on a deeper level, one can realize that volunteering benefits the volunteer as much as, if not more than, those who are helped. Not only does volunteering make a difference in one’s community, but it also helps the volunteer become a smarter, happier, friendlier and more caring individual.
“Donating blood is safe and easy, and takes less than an hour and one blood donation can help as many as three or four different people! In what other activity, can so little time do so much” ("Feel Prepared. Give Blood." ). Just think, if no one gave blood then how many people would still be living who really needed it? Despite all our medical advances, there is no good man-made substitute for human blood; this is why blood donations are so important. Some people strongly believe that donating blood is bad, but what people don’t know is that it actually has surprisingly good benefits like reducing the risk of cancer, burning calories, and even saving someone’s life, so everyone who has the opportunity to give
