I joined because I wanted to experience something new, to take part in an organization which can give me confidence in my own opinions and ideas. Building my skills in conversing with others and understand how people react to different situations, was something I needed and got with MUN. One has to get ready for the world out there, equipped for life and its problems. These conferences not only bring these world troubles right into my life but make me also comprehend politics better.
 * __Why did I join Model United Nations?__**

I have been an active participant in MUN since last year, having traveled to BerMUN in November 2009. My past experience is very positive. Although it is a lot of work to get everything ready for a conference it is still fun. Often though one has to be careful to keep a respectful tone and not ruffle too many feathers. Also doing it for the first time can be very intimidating especially in such a large conference as the one in Berlin. But MUN is a great way to build strength and confidence in oneself. An opportunity not to miss.
 * __How long have you been active with MUN and what is your past experience?__**

I see MUN as a positive entity just by what I have seen in the BerMUN conference. People come from all over the world to work together and find solutions for World problems. A unity of students who wish to make a difference. In this organization, a person can speak there mind and gather support. It’s not about how you look or where you come from, it’s the thoughts in your head and your voice on the matter that counts. As I have said before, a conference were one has to interact with people and work hard in order to get ones resolution and opinions heard, equips one for life. It is never easy to make ones ideas accepted but practice can always help. As a student, gaining more confidence when speaking in front of a large group of people is perfect, projects and presentations will come much easier. When an adult, experience gathered in MUN can be used in everyday work, or relationships. I can see MUN affecting in which direction I will go to study or work perfectly. Maybe I will learn that I wish to help change the world and become an active member in Greenpeace or politics. It might even show me which areas I should totally avoid in life. Things learned in MUN about people and conferences can give just the right direction.
