A short video of the presentation the Model UN Delegation made to the CC community on December 4th. Later in the week I will post some photos, and of course the last of the photos of Chicago, plus some words to those who would like to be part of the Model UN in 2009.

Now that we are done…I’m a little sad. Being a part of the Model UN has given me the opportunity to get to know these ladies on a more personal level. Before, I may have seen them around campus or had classes with them or maybe even had a conversation or two; but taking this…THIS… course with them allowed us to form a bond together. It is because of this course that we all had a common goal. A goal that we realized we could obtain through camaraderie.
When I felt like I had little to off to the group, the group showed me that that was not the case. They showed and reminded me that in everything that you do, you must exude confidence. When I was hit with a road block at the conference, they helped me get past it by brainstorming ideas with me when they didn’t even have to.
I didn’t realize it until well after the conference, but the most important thing I learned from this experience is that the group’s success is more important, and is much sweeter than the individual’s success within the group (at least to me), and this is coming from an extreme introvert.
I know. We hear all the time that we should be a team player, but we also hear that we should look to stand out from the pack. The problem with that when you’re in a group is that too much individuality causes the group you are in to suffer (whether that group be your fellow students, college, community, state or nation). What worth does individual success have when what surrounds you is in nothing but ruins because you were too focused on yourself?
