My Model UN journey began with overcoming my fear of public speaking, gradually building confidence through multiple conferences. After earning my first recognition—a 4th place finish (Verbal Commendation)—I challenged myself by joining the most rigorous type of committee. There, I refined my speaking skills further, earning an Honorable Mention before ultimately achieving Best Delegate and securing the gavel. This progression reflects my growth from hesitant speaker to a confident, strategic delegate capable of excelling in high-pressure debate.
