Since last school year, I have participated
in a club called, "Model United Nations." In this club, a group of
students gather to debate or discuss on a political issue to come up with a
solution for the problem. I started to participate in this club last year, and
honestly forgot much of the parliamentary procedures of the Model United
Nation, often called as MUN.
This year, I am offered a position in the
club. I am offered a Vice-Chair position, or more like a vice-president of the
club, who needs to be facilitate the meetings and prepare the members for the
actual MUN conference. In the MUN club, my job is to come up with different
ways to teach the students about the parliamentary procedures, and to guide
students to their best in the MUN conferences. So I thought that this activity
will be perfect to fit all the “Creativity,” “Action,” and “Service” part of my
CAS. Being one of the leaders of the group, I have to help the student who are
not so fluent in English to actively be involved in an activity that requires a
high level of language competence. I am not saying that my English is perfect,
but I will be able to help the students to do their job. This responsibility is very different from that of last year, because I only had to be in the meeting to listen to the leaders, while I will have to teach other members in the meeting.
In this organization or a club, I will have
to review the rules and regulations guiding the MUN conferences to be able to
teach the other students. Also, I will personally take part in the conferences
not as a chair, but as a delegate that represents a nation in a conference. In
the meetings, I will always have to be prepared to discuss about a MUN subject
and should be able to answer different questions raised by other members. In
this activity, "Mrs. Lissie Nicholes" and “Mr. Nicolas Schulte” will
supervise the MUN meetings which will be held at least an hour every week.
However, my commitment for the club will be longer, because I will have to
prepare other supplementary materials to guide the other members.
This activity is approved.
ReplyDeleteI should probably also tell you that you don't want to go off to college thinking that it's OK to put quotations around people's names. When you do that it's like you're saying -
"In this activity, so-called Mrs. Nichols (I don't know why she calls herself that, it's obvious that we all know her name is something else) will supervise the MUN meetings."
And nice pic!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will remember that :)
