On Thursday, a couple of friends and I went decided to go to the Model UN meeting. When we arrived, they decided to start the meeting off which icebreakers. Everyone was divided into for groups. We were given a series of questions, like make a line from shortest to tallest and line up in the order of birthdays. It was really fun, everyone enjoyed themselves and we also got the chance to learn little details about the people in the club. After the icebreakers we done, we sat down to discuss the purpose of the club and the amount of commitment. Honestly, I did not really know what the United Nations was really about. Representatives from each country gathered at an event and discuss world peace, but at these events, all the representatives from each country come together to create new resolutions every year. Hearing all the requirements for the club, I was a little iffy about joining it. The club leaders explained that they do a lot of traveling and they miss a couple of instructional school days. Then one of the club leaders asked a question that really made me think. He asked, “Would you rather want to be in a class with the same people you have been seeing through out the same semester, or would you rather skip a couple of classes to go to an United Nations convention and meet about 5,000 new people and see faces you might now ever see again?” Towards the end of the meeting, I began to ask myself was this club really for me? I do not think I would be able to commit to that amount of time, especially because the club meetings are during Tuesday club hours and I have a class during that time. Throughout the upcoming weeks, I plan to look for a club that fits my interests and my schedule.
