    Some friends and I had the opportunity to reach out to less-fortunate children in the Athens area and show them around campus. By showing them what things they can have to look forward to, I was able to help inspire them. I got to tell them how college can help them to do things that they enjoy in life. I hope that I managed to leave a lasting impact on them and helped them to see the opportunities they have.

    I chose to participate in this community service activity because it is something that I’ve done often before. For me, it is an easy way to give back to the community while still making a large impact. As blood is not always widely available to those who need it, I believe that everybody who is able to donate blood should. I myself do my part as often as I am able, donating to power red each time. Though I know that I alone am unable to solve the shortage of blood, I will still continue to contribute as much as I am able to help in solving the problem. As a single pint of blood can save up to three people, my own contributions can save up to six lives. However, this is a very small number compared to the number of people who are in need. The blood that I give is very likely to be used before I am able to donate a second time. This is why it is important for more people to donate. If many more people donate, we would be able to store blood to be used whenever a patient needs it. The shortage could be ended.
