Reflection

Being a delegate was definitely an exhilarating experience. However, training new students was something new. I enjoyed sharing my experience with first time MUNers. Giving them tips every now and then was fun to do. I also saw the old me in each one of them, when they struggled to understand the rules of procedure and the essence of the agenda. Explaining the outline of the procedure helped me understand it better too. Thought I didn't participate in the conference this time, I actually felt like I was, because of these training sessions. This experience has made me a thinker and an open minded person. I made sure not to hesitate to tell my team mates when they made mistakes, and helped them as much as I could. Having model sessions also gave me the opportunity to experience the role of a chairperson. Saying things like 'Thank you delegate', ' You have the floor' and ' This motion clearly passes' gave me a special kind of excitement, that I have never felt before. Taking all of them through a short journey of learning definitely improved my patience and tolerance. It was quite a challenge to make them finish work on time, as they paced out their work sometimes. It was difficult to resist showing anger at them and to be polite even when they wouldn't listen to me. However, that only happened once. They were very cooperative through out this journey. In fact, I learned a lot of things from them. Their methods of research were more efficient than the ones I followed last time. I was inspired by their enthusiasm, being just beginners.

Planning time lines keeping things organized in this activity developed my skill set as well. I am looking forward to work with another team and train them too.
