The Milliken Children's Festival; it was quite a day. My zone had one or two people in the first 30 minutes of the festival. After I returned from my first break, there were many more.
I worked in the bracelet half of the zone first, and then went to the paper crown making section afterwards because they needed help. Since most of the kids seemed to be girls, they all wanted pink or purple crowns. We eventualy ran out of pink paper, and I swear my right hand will have bruises tomorrow from cutting 8 sheets of crowns out at once. (Note: I was kind of saying words like "heck" and "crap" because 1. some of my co-volunteers did weird things, esp. Vincent, and 2. the wind started blowing all our papers away and we had to pick them up.)
Within the last 2 hours of the festival, some of my co-volunteers and I began to draw Pokemon, play pictionary, laugh at each other, and etc. Some of them go to MMHS, and apparently, one of the girls (I can't remember any of their names except for the only boy at our zone) are in SAC. She also had Ms. Florinis as her grade 8 teacher back in Randall, so we spoke a little about how awesome a teacher Ms. Florinis was. Also... a sentence or two about how boring Ms. Levy was, and probably still is.
After my volunteer work next Saturday, I will have finished my hours.
