Apart from that, MUNs are also great for socialising. You get to meet a lot of people from different cities and states.<br \/>\nI took part in two of the MUNs, Mega-Conference, and FSMUN. Mega Conference was in the month of September, and FSMUN was in the month of December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LO2- Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have stage fright. It is very difficult for me to express myself without hesitation in front of a considerable audience. Therefore, it is really difficult for me to speak in MUNs. However, I decided to take a step, to participate in the Mega Conference because I feel it is very significant to have great oratory skills to create impact anywhere in the future. I faced some difficulties; A lot of times, I spoke nonsense and sometimes blanked out. However, I didn&#8217;t give up and tried to speak in every moderated caucus. I wouldn&#8217;t say I overcame the fear, but MUN has surely taught me how to handle the fear to some extent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LO4- Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, Mega-Conference was a total embarrassment. I was really demotivated afterwards and didn&#8217;t have any courage to participate in any further MUN. However, I stood committed and decided to participate in FSMUN where I would work a little harder. In FSMUN, I was relatively confident. My participation substantially increased. I got better at orating and the EB members also appreciated my oratory skills; they told me to continue MUNing. Last but not least, in FSMUN, for the second day of the conference, my country was changed from Japan to Syria. It was a challenge to have strong research within a night. However, I didn&#8217;t back out. I tried my best to research sufficiently so that I could speak the next day. It wasn&#8217;t an easy task to be ready with adequate research but I managed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LO7- Recognise and consider the ethics of choices and action<\/strong><br \/>\nAs mentioned, MUN is all about researching and orating where plagiarism also comes into the picture. Firstly, I picked up information from those sites which were considered authentic and reliable. Though it cuts down a lot of information you can access, I stood away from sites which were mentioned not to be used. Furthermore, I tried my best to cite all the sites I surfed and gave credits wherever was needed, maintaining honesty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3332 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132646-min-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132646-min-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132646-min-768x1027.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132646-min-766x1024.jpg 766w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3333 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132716-min-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132716-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132716-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132716-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3334 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132944-min-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132944-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132944-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2020.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_20190223_132944-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; MUNs are a perfect platform to exhibit your oratory and research skills and overcome the stage fright.
