SIMUN

It was like a rollercoaster there was ups and there were downs just like a roller coaster. Stevenson’s intramural model United Nations (simun) was over all pretty good. When I’m in line I’m always nervous or scared that’s how I was heading into simun it was scary but exciting. When I get off a rollercoaster I think to myself oh wow that was fun or that wasn’t too bad same with simun we finished and I thought wow I shouldn’t have gotten all worked up it’s not that bad. The ups were that I successfully spoke three times and I helped write a resolution. The downs were the questions I didn’t like thinking on the spot that much but the good outweighed the bad. I also think it was kind of hard to remember all the sayings like point of privilege, point of inquiry, and I would like to make a motion there are three of them I thought it was kind of hard. Although I didn’t really like the questions I think I did alright I mean its hard but you just have to know what you’re talking about which Is when the research comes in.
I did research before simun it was kind of hard to find all the information I needed and that’s why I think I wasn’t as prepared as I should have been but that was the hardest part I think putting all the information wasn’t that hard. The research kind of helped me I think it gave me a little bit of knowledge on what was going on but I still didn’t fully understand all the topics. To help me understand I talked with my fellow countries and figured out what everything meant. I think the countries around me were a lot more helpful them my research. That’s why after we got a new topic I would need to have a caucus so the other countries and I could talk about the situation and se wear everyone’s country is at. Without the caucuses I don’t know what I would have done. I think with the caucuses I did alright
I did pretty well considering it was my first time. I gave three speeches and asked no questions but I actively participated in the caucuses. Next simun I am going to try to participate more my goal is to make 5 speeches and ask at least 6 questions next time we do simun. Although it was all pretty hard I liked the experience and I think it was good to use my brain a little.
