Aside from developing rational students who understand global problems, the Model United Nations stimulates debating skills that allow me to better appreciate perspectives of other cultures. The beauty of this activity is embedded in having to defend a stance you might not even believe in.

maybe you should give more details about and model UN..
like what you actually did and how you participated..
or how it affected your life...
good luck :)

When you have such a tight word limit, you should think of a lot of key words, and work them in. Use the most important words, and keep it simple, so that you can fit a lot of substance. All it takes is one sentence that really captures something you actually got from it, some insight you actually gained. Don't just say the general things that are true abut model UN. Share your experience.
