First off, I would like to apologize to myself and for anyone who is currently reading this blog for not posting in an entire five days. Writing heals me in ways that you would never imagine, yet this weekend has been so hectic and overwhelmingly busy that I was not able to blog! Now, I am just barely able to scrounge up this post with my phone. I hope it will have the same healing effect.
Model UN is one of the most enlightening and invigorating experiences a teenager can be a part of, and it changes you. It focuses around representing a nation that is previously assigned to you,
and speaking in front of a committee of about 50 to 150 people. Public speaking is a major aspect of the entire weekend, and I love it. It began with one of my close friends introducing it to me in middle school. I had no idea what it was or what one would encounter, so I was nervous my beginning time, last year. It turned out to be a life-changing weekend, at least for me. This year, I was in the same committee as last: Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee. The entire group this year is like a family to me, and the mere idea of having to leave once again makes me so apprehensive.
I must terminate the post early, for sessions and the commemoration speeches will start soon. Hope everyone is having an equally exciting weekend.
