There is not a bad thing about Blood Donation in my opinion.
Some things that you should know about blood donation:
Some things that you should know about blood donation:
1) By letting the blood out, you are letting your body produce new cells to grow and giving you new sets of fresh blood
2) Do you know that you have to be healthy to give blood? So be thankful if you are eligible to do it because that means your body is in a good condition :)
3) Blood donation is a basically an investment to your own protection. Why? if someday you are caught into accident and in need of blood who knows if its your own blood that saves your life?
4) There is no more greater reason to give blood except the reason of helping people who is in need of it.
So if physically you are able to donate blood but the only thing that stopping you from giving it is because you are scared of needles and pain, please think twice.
If someday you or people around you need it but no one willing to gave it because they are scared to do it, what will you feel?
I am admit that I was afraid of donating blood at first because people said it hurts and your body will be weak after that. But you know what? Let me tell you my own story.
When I was high school, three of my closest friend and I study together for university entrance exam. One of my friend suggested us to do nazar (promise) if we were accepted into Universitas Indonesia we should give blood donation. I did not think twice and joined the nazar. Apparently, I was the only one who got accepted at Universitas Indonesia. It was year 2009 and I want to give blood donation but people said I cant, because I was too skinny and weighed less than 45 kilograms. To be honest, I forgot my nazar for some time until 2012 I remember about it and after that I tried to gain weight. On my birthday that year, I decided I will give blood donation to fulfill my nazar as I want to do good things on my birthday. So I went to blood donation unit in Senayan City Mall and from the pre-check I was fit to do it. That day, i finally fulfilled my nazar and I never thought that giving blood gave something like.... very mysterical feeling to me. Suddenly I wanted to do it again and again. Its also did not hurt like what people said. Its only hurt a little. After that, I always looked forward to give blood donation and encourage my friends to do it too. Right now, i am a regular blood donator every 3-4 months. ^^
I hope this post will encourage people who read it to let out 350cc of your precious blood to those in need :)
