I am so happy that I was given the opportunity to attend Model UN. I have a really good idea of how the real United Nations work. We spent countless hours caucusing so that we could write resolutions. The hardest part was getting other countries to agree with your resolutions. Often there were times that resolutions did not get passed because of too many vague phrases. We even added amendments to the resolution to accommodate more countries. I can really see why the United Nations have a really hard job with trying to get everyone to agree on different policies. I really like how different countries tried to work together to create a resolution that would accommodate more countries. After long debates and numerous hours of caucusing the General Plenary finally passed resolutions that everyone was happy with. Being at the Model UN open a new way of thinking about international affairs and I am so glad that I was a part of such a great experience
