My lab partners and I helped Dr Fields move tables and chairs. We were in the middle of our chem lab process, but we were more than happy to help our professor. With the help of my lab partners, we moved six tables and several chairs around to set the layout for the Howard biology building so that biology students could learn in a calm and studious environment. This activity is crucial for Biology students as we made the main place for studying in the biology building more comfortable and can lead to several more students earning As in their class.

I donated blood for the first time, and it was an educational experience. There are different blood types, and only some are compatible. Since I have type A- blood, I can only be a donor to those with blood types: A-, A+, AB-, and AB+. The reason for this is the antigens that are present. Your blood type is inherited, and it is based on genes. It is important to blood type and match blood recipients and donors since this can be life threatening. The blood that I donated can be used in surgery, treating injuries, and other conditions. There is a blood shortage, so the blood that I donated will potentially save a life.

I attended the party and helped set up the tables. With the help of my peers, I put the tablecloths on the tables, carried chairs out to the tables, placed chairs all around for families to sit and arrived in advance. Next, I returned, help set up the bouncy houses, and then when the parade finally came, I regulated the bounce house and controlled with my partners who goes in and out for the remaining hours. This event was a fun way to get exercise in for the children since I worked the bouncy houses. Exercise is healthy for your body since it improves your body's energy production and the efficiency of the mitochondria. This exercise also assists with cell growth as there i stress on the tissues and helps develop their maturing muscles. Furthermore, there was high sugar foods being supplied which encourages recovery and energy replenished since the sugar (glucose) was broken down and glycogen supplies energy quickly. It was a fun, family friendly event that put a smile on a lot of children's faces and overall boosted the community.
