This is the flyer from the LEAF festival. You might have seen them around campus.

This past weekend I was a volunteer at the LEAF festival as a part of my volunteering. I got to volunteer, eat for free, and see amazing music for free for an entire weekend. Anyway it was my first day on the job and I had to give members of the non-profit all of their gifts as well as coerce them into purchasing another membership (which is expensive ) and tell them about the member party. Some what of a large job for someone who has no idea what they are doing. The member fee pays for the entire sect of the non-profit that allows for international travel for artists as well as children. For the first ten minutes I was there a woman came up to me and attempted to get me to give her a ticket to the member party. She harassed me for about ten minutes until I finally got so fed up with this woman trying to take advantage of me I told her "Ma'am just because I may seem young and unaware of what is going on I am still able to recognize when someone is attempting to take advantage of me. Please, stop." The woman then backed off, apologized, and left. Even though I didn't enjoy being harassed by a woman who could be friends with my grandmother I was still happy that I had the ability to stand up for myself.
