SIMUN was a great experience; I learned how to speak professionally with my parliamentary procedure skills. Also, I think SIMUN was a great way for us students to learn more about conflicts in the world and how to solve them in a professional matter. I thought the scenarios could have added some more of the countries involvement, because sometimes it was hard for smaller countries to join in on the conversation. The seniors helping us out both as mentors and on the chair made it a smoother ride in the process of learning the scenarios.
Before going into SIMUN, I thought I was SOL. I figured that the juniors would dominate us freshman, and the sophomores would try to join in on the dominance. But that wasn't the case at all; I owned some of the older delegates with questions they couldn't even comprehend. There was a scenario where my country, Ukraine had an election this year and the pro- Russian candidate had won, he was in favor of not joining NATO, but half of the country disagreed. I had no clue what to do. In all of the other scenarios there was a flat out question telling you to resolve it in a certain way. But in this one you had to make peace between the civilians and the government. For that scenario I relied on the older kids to tell me what to do just a tiny bit too much. But I took control at the end and joined NATO. I made powerful allies and for all of the scenarios I was a part of the winning resolution.
I felt my preparation was better than most of the other freshman. I knew what my country would do in certain situations and what they were against. I prepped with writing six assigned papers on different conflicts going on in the world and background history on my country.
Like I said earlier, I have a 3-0 record and I don't plan on adding any losses because 3-0 sounds just so much nicer than 2-1. I will definitely learn more about my relations with other countries because that will help me greatly next year. I am going to learn as much as I can about my country next year so that I can add facts into my speeches and sound like I know my country like it's the back of my hand. Therefore, I can dominate because trying is for children.
