I thought SIMUN was a fun but unfamiliar experience. I have never done anything like SIMUN and I wasnt sure what to expect. I didnt know how to prepare myself or what I would be speaking about. Although i was very nervous and scared to speak i ended up speaeking more than i expected and understood the scenarios and how Mexico would be included in them. I also met alot of new people from all grades, they were very supportive and helpful. I also got a little taste of hpw the real United Stations would run their meetings.

I did much better then I thought I would. Going into SIMUN I thought I was going to be to scared to talk and not understand the scenarios but i ended up presenting about 7 or 8 speeches and multiple questions. Also I actually understood what I was talking aboout in my speeches and really got involved about how Mexico would take part in the scenarios. So overall i believe i did pretty well but would still like to improve for next year.

To prepare Mrs. B assigned four questions to each even group that realted to the scenarios that would be presented in SIMUN. The questions allowed me to think of how Mexico would be involved in situations across the world and what they would do about it. I had to think from a Mexican goverment member's perspective. I also researched alot of information about Mexicos history but the major conflict i had to understand about Mexico was the violent drug wars between the unrurely cartels and innocent U.S. and Mexico's citizens and police.

To prepare for next year i am going to research even more about Mexico because during the debates I felt a little lost and needed more background information about Mexico and how the info would effect the scenario. I would also research how the Mexican government works and who their allies are so iIwould be confident in choosing sides for the scenarios.

Overall I thought SIMUN was a great new experience and I am excited to do even better next year,
