Final Day

Today was definitely one of the hardest days of the conference. Each delegate began the day knowing that this would be the last time that they entered their General Assembly and it would also be the last time you would see the same room of people, all together at once. Each GA/Committee truly become every girls second family on this trip. Throughout the day as resolutions continued to pass and also continued to fail, the selfies of delegates became more and more frequent. When the General Assembly finally came to a close that afternoon, it can safely be said that there were tears in conjunction to gripping hugs from each and every delegate.

Within my own General Assembly a couple other girls and myself had mastered the art of note passing in order to gain support for resolutions and overall creating allies with numerous different nations. This was our silly photo at the end of the day to commemorate our team work, which also couldn't of been done without the help of the admin staff who spent hours running around delivering our messages to the other delegates (photo below)

Each PLC girl who attended the THIMUN conference has made lifelong friendships with delegates from all corners of the world. Now some may find this hard to believe since the conference did only run for four days .. but none of us are lying! Not only is the THIMUN conference one which encompasses great levels of learning and thought provoking debates, it is also the people who make this experience so invaluable. An example of this could be seen in one of the delegates from Taiwan. She had such a passion for learning, which soon became clear after she had demonstrated her abilities to communicate in eight different languages (and counting.) Many of the girls have been inspired by who they have met and can't wait to implement certain influences from their fellow delegates into their everyday lives, (this may include trying to learn a new language.) 

The conference was an experience which I personally entered into with a great level of nerves and uncertainty, but it is now evident that it is something unable of being  traded in for anything. The experience was one of true value as our public speaking skills were put to the test, our own morals were questioned through debates, whilst also forming friendships which are guaranteed to last a lifetime.

THIMUN has been an unforgettable experience, which none of us will ever forget!
