MUN 11/13

I should have blogged about this before but we have good news for MUN. We've been assigned 3 countries this year: Turkey, Syria, and Macedonia. Turkey is on security council, allowing only 2 open spots. I decided to take Syria with the Special Political (Specpol) committee. I chose this because while we've studied a bit about both Syria and Turkey in history, a lot of our focus was on Syria. I'm on the committee with Marjorie Palmeri, who has been on MUN since her freshman year. She helped me a lot when I was a sophomore. Last year as a junior I knew what I was doing more but this year I plan on making a point of participating in debate and discussion more than usual since it is my last year at Sturgis and I know have everything works with the conference now.
