MUN update

First of all, I want to say that MUN conference 2012 was a success. The facilities were wonderful, programs were also enjoyable, and the best of all, I was able to meet new people and became friends. Many people say that MUN is a nerdy club, and I partially agree on that, but that is not what MUN really is. We get to develop our speaking skills, research skills, and even making human relationship skills. When the delegates are debating, there is a chance, in fact many times, there comes a time we cannot really answer the question. In this time, we get to learn how to deal with sudden instances, and learn how to make good impromptu speech. Since MUN conferences are outside the school activities, students from all different school comes. This makes the conference more interesting, because somehow, students from different school compete each other. I was able to see many students who really have good debating skills. The important thing is that it did not just end up looking at them, but I learned from them too. It was an experience that I cannot just get anywhere. One thing that I was dissapoined about our school is that all the other school respect MUN club, and treat it as important as sports events. They have get to have two hours of practice every week. However in Brent Baguio, because of sports practices, and super conserative and inside-box thinking teacher, we cannot have regular meeting. Isn't it so stupid that one late in the sports practice because of MUN meeting, the coach has right to kick the players out of the team? It seems like the more I have outside school activities, the more problems I have regarding our school. Anyways, the fact that I personally enjoyed it is what really matters.
