Last Friday, October 6th, I attended to first official team meeting of Model United Nation club. To get into MUN club, we had to pass selective application process and move on to net step, interview process. Since my high school didn’t have Model UN team, I was particularly interested in their activity. In the club, students are assigned countries, and we are going to introduce the country, its problems, and solution for the particular problems.
I decided to join this club primarily because I want to know more about what is happening in the world. When I was in middle school, I read a book about Seirra Leone where people have the shortest life expectancy. It is a nonfiction story written by one Japanese medical doctor who went to Sierra Leone as a member of Medical Sans Frontiers. Since then, I understood how life is like to most of the people in the world and how fortunate I was to be born in safe environment. Secondary reason is because I though it is a great way to build important skills such as leadership, and understand cultural differences.
Team members are meeting every Friday from 6 to 9 pm. It might be hard to get used to it at begging, but I want to push myself into the harder situation. Model UN team members will have chance to attend real conferences at the United Nation. My big dream now is to speech at the conference. I want to do the best I can to contribute to the team, and improve myself in this club.
