    On March the 22nd, we set out to attend the meeting of MMUN in New York. I had a great time there and I’ve learned a great deal from this experience.

    I’ve prepared for MMUN for a long time, but I still felt very nervous when the meeting formally began. The agenda begins with opening speech from each delegate, followed by a regular caucus where delegates can walk around and discuss with others. When I finished my opening speech, many delegates came to me and told me that they loved my ideas and encouraged me to start writing a working sheet that might became a draft resolution. I was so excited and nervous when I started writing the working sheet, because it is kind of hard to get all the sponsors to sign up, and it’s not easy to collect ideas from all countries. Luckily, many other countries supported me and we formed a group together. I was very excited to get so many sponsors in our group and I was also very proud that our working sheet had made a contribution. Then, all countries voted for the working sheet and it became a draft resolution. Usually, it is not easy to get all countries to vote for the same draft resolution. But since we emerged all the small groups, we got all the votes and the working sheet became a draft resolution.

    We went to the UN Headquarter and read the draft resolution the next day. Fortunately, all the delegates voted for it, and it became an actual resolution. We were all very pleased that we had made our contributions to the world.

    I am extremely honored to draft the resolution and read the draft resolution in the committee. And I have learned how to communicate and cooperate with all countries, and the formal ways to caucus. I’m proud of the fact that we did something amazing and that we might be able to change the world someday.
