Reflection: IIMUN

This IIMUN was clearly different from the first one. I was more confident and I knew my stand clearly. Furthermore, this time I had a country with a strong say unlike the last one. My country position was strong which made my position in the room stronger.

I had to play the role of a confident delegate because USA was very clear about strikes, no denying, it strongly says that USA will continue striking until all the threats to USA is removed. This part was a little challenging because other delegates hated the fact that USA did strikes because this gives USA the power to attack anyone anytime.

The most challenging part of this MUN was the fact that all my allies went against their country policy and against USA. Now putting sense in them was difficult because they didn't care about their policies at all.

I surely did a lot of lobbying and sugar coating. I had to make my point in an assertive manner because being sweet didn't work in this committee, everybody in the committee listened to people who were loud, confident and fast speaking.

Furthermore, I had to be a keen listener to note and understand every point a delegate said to know their stand and on how to tackle them. I was questioned a lot of times and at one point I told them

honestly that I didn't know the answer and would come back to them with an answer. This way I learned to accept defeat and realize that it's okay to not know the answer, what matters is how you accept it and improve yourself.
