MUN@Neev is an initiative started by the teachers to provide us with the
appropriate experience we need to participate in an MUN conference. I was very
eager to participate in it. I have taken part in MUN for two years
and the experience has been really helpful in developing collaborative,
consensus-building and critical thinking skills. Being able to think on the
spot, speaking using the information from my research, managing my time and
myself, and meeting deadlines, these are just a few things I am proud of being
able to do.
This summer, we, the Grade 7 students, will get our first taste of MUN
outside Neev. It will be a great way to showcase our learning. The trip will be
a real test of our organization skills, keeping track of different events will
be hard. The amount of research that has to be completed for this conference is
alarming, so far this process has been intensive and very difficult; however,
we have received a lot of help from the senior students. I would like to
thank them -- they have given us first hand information which really gave
us an idea of what to look forward to. Our senior students have
provided excellent examples on how to participate and make our voice heard in
these conferences, and we look forward to living up to their expectations.
In this new venture, I aim to define myself as a Munner. My goal is to
actively participate and showcase my opinion and my ideas. Personally, I feel
honoured to represent Neev at this prestigious conference. I will give my 110%
and do my best to make Neev proud.
