Have you ever donated blood?

I donated my blood when I was in university. It was very painful and I had to take some rest, but I felt good afterwards because I felt I had done my part. I’ll possibly have a surgery in the future, so it’s mutual.

Corrections

I donated my blood when I was in university.

Blood is assumed to be yours when you donate it (assuming nothing sketchy has happened lol).

It was very painful and I had to take some restrest afterwards, but I felt good afterwards because I felt I had done my part.

"Take some rest" for me sort of implies that you had to be absent from classes [or work as well if you were employed]. It's because I tend to associate it with "taking rest days" or "taking leave". I'm assuming that you just needed to lie down and relax for a bit, but did not need an extended amount of absence.

I’ll possibly have a surgery in the future, so it’s mutualll be repaid in kind.

I think I get the sentiment that you're trying to convey. "Mutual" tends to mean that you and another person feel the same way about each other (either positively or negatively). To be [re]paid in kind means that if you do a good action, that action will be rewarded sometime in the future and likewise if you do something bad, a negative outcome will come about.

Feedback

Good job! I tried donating blood once in high school. Unfortunately, my blood vessels are apparently too narrow and they only got enough for like half a pack so they had to dispose of it. Although I can't really donate blood, I try to do other good by doing other volunteer work.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
You teach me various nuances depending on the words and vocabulary expressions, which is very helpful for my studies.
I'll definitely donate blood again if I have the opportunity.

I'm glad that it seems to have been written well.

The way you wrote it was fine. I have provided 2 additional natural versions for your consideration:

I felt good afterwards because I felt like I had done my part.

I felt good afterwards because I felt as though I had done my part.

I’ll possibly have a surgery in the future, so it’s mutual.. So, I may end up benefitting from someone else‘s similar actions.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I think there were a lot of unnatural expressions, but I feel like I was able to write it a little better.

It was very painful and I had to take somesubsequently had to rest, but in the end I felt good afterwards because I felt I had done my part.

- In English we never say take some rest, we say take a rest. When you say take a rest though, it's typically used (at least in my experience) after having done some physical exertion. If you don't use any preposition and just say I need to rest, this could be for anything so I think it fits best here.
- Changed afterwards to 'in the end' to be explicit that you felt this after you had rested which was explicitly after the painful part where you had your blood drawn

I’llt's possibly have ae that I'll have surgery in the future, so it’s mutual.

- Reworded the first bit to sound more natural. It's grammatically correct but it's not usually said in that manner
- In English we don't 'have a surgery' we just 'have surgery'
- It's mutual doesn't make sense here but I'm not sure what you were trying to say. It's mutual means a feeling you have about something is shared by another person. E.g I love him and it's mutual means I love him and he loves me back (because it's mutual i.e you both share the same feelings). Surgery can't have feelings back for you so you can't use that phrase here. Please comment what you were trying to say and I'll come up with a correction for you

There were a lot of unnatural expressions, but I hope that at least some of the meaning was conveyed.
I wrote the last part because I thought that I might need a blood transfusion during surgery someday, and that my blood donations are also a give-and-take.

Ah okay I see now, you could write something like "It's possible I'll have surgery in the future so I hope my donations will be reciprocated" but the suggestions from the other editors also work :)
