Undergraduate / Short extracurricular essay. 'Model UN is the activity I enjoy the most' [5]
//Please help me as I am really unsure if it is okay to ELABORATE by describing a specific event. Any help is appreciated!
//Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).
Model UN is the activity I enjoy the most, because doing it not only gives me insights on global issues, but also taught me invaluable life skills.
As a delegate for Germany (on my school's Model UN team), what should I do to gain the support? I analyzed my position, seeking a reasonable response. "Because stabilizing the society is the best cure..." I stated the view and the position of "my country" and showed the willingness to work with others. Last year's conference was a failure for me; I was arrogant, attacking the dissenting ideas. However, I had learned my lessons. This year, l kept telling myself that modesty and friendliness are universally appreciated. My collaborative attitude was the reason why I won two awards at the conference. I was very proud of myself, not for the awards, but for the life skills I learned.
Model UN gives me an opportunity to taste what it was like to be a diplomat not only in the UN, but also in the real life with team spirit and open-mindedness.
Thank you very much for your time!
