Tomorrow I make my debut in the classroom. One that I have been in before actually. It was a classroom of mine when I was in highschool. However many years ago that was. I'm giving a talk to some grade 12 students to raise awareness about organ donation. I've done some research on people that have had transplants at the Gift of Life website and also on beadonor.ca. I think I'm ready. I just need to make the actual presentation! HA! I made something like an Organ Donation Jeopardy so hopefully it will go over well. My goal is to get these students motivated to raise awareness as well. You never know if you or a loved one will need an organ donation. It's a tall order, trying to tell teenagers their not invincible, but hopefully I'm up to the challenge. I remember what it was like to be a teenager, and I was invincible too.
I'm also going to be looking for volunteers to help with the Donor Registration drive on Saturday. October is a very busy month for me. I took the challenge, and hopefully I'm rising to it. I'm not doing it for me though. I'm doing it for everyone waiting on that list. Everyone who has watch a loved one wait. Everyone who may need a transplant. No matter how invincible we all are.
