The fall semester is here and that means it's almost time for the school year's first blood drive.
The blood drive is set for Sept. 14 through 16, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
However, the drive is no longer referred to as the 9/11 blood drive.
Other blood drives have a theme to them. At the Valentine's Day drive, Rob Torrez likes to request that students "give from the heart."
Valentine's is a catchy and fun drive. 9/11 is more important in remembering the tragedy almost eight years ago.
Yes, 9/11 is old news, and that's why it's not called the 9/11 drive anymore. But the drive still remained special.
It's not that big of a deal. It's still the same blood drive. The fliers just don't have the drawing of the World Trade Center on them. However, it gave more meaning to the drive.
The last blood drive I gave at was a 9/11 one, and it felt good.
