My daughter just participated in a Model United Nations Conference. It was a regional event at a local college.
She and her partner were representatives for the country of Chad in Africa. They were members of the UN committee on refugees. Since Chad has a lot of refugees, this made a lot of sense.
The amazing thing about the Model UN is that Juliana learned a lot about Chad and worked on solutions and proposals that have real-world, current applications.
Juliana does not enjoy speaking in front of groups. But, she did at the Model UN. She spoke for her country in front of the whole committee.
I am soooo proud of her!
This makes me realize how grown up she's getting. She'll be starting high school in the fall. She is ready. But am I? I believe so.
Well done to your daughter!

My lips used to shake when I had to give speeches in school, I didn't really get over it until I had to be a bit more professional at Target. Way to go Juliana!
