Reflection:
Participating in Balmun, an extracurricular activity focused on Model United Nations (MUN), was an enriching and transformative experience. As an active participant, I had the opportunity to engage in debates, draft resolutions, and work collaboratively with peers from diverse backgrounds.
Balmun provided a platform for me to develop critical thinking, public speaking, and negotiation skills. I learned how to research complex global issues, articulate my ideas effectively, and advocate for solutions that address the needs of different countries. The experience also taught me the importance of diplomacy, compromise, and consensus-building in international relations.
One of the most memorable aspects of my participation in Balmun was the opportunity to represent a country in various committees. I had the chance to step into the shoes of diplomats and policymakers, gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of global politics and the challenges faced by different nations.
The friendships I formed during Balmun were also invaluable. Working closely with my peers to tackle complex issues fostered a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. We supported each other, shared ideas, and celebrated our achievements together.
Overall, my experience in Balmun was a transformative journey that not only enhanced my understanding of global affairs but also equipped me with valuable skills and perspectives that I continue to apply in my personal and professional life.
