Well, JHUMUNC was, to say the least, an interesting conference, and my fellow delegates can vouch for me when I say that. I thought it would be cool if I shared some fun(ny) stories about my experience there. But before that, I just wanted to give some background.
JHUMUNC is a 3 day model UN conference for high schoolers hosted by Johns Hopkins University. The topics were really cool and challenging, and committee was really fun and engaging. I was in NATO, which was a total blast, but I'll get to that later.
First off, I roomed with some of my good friends, so that wasn't a problem. There was plenty of snack foods, a late curfew, and mostly freedom to leave the hotel and go to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Food at Inner Harbor was awesome, because we had choices to eat at Hard Rock Cafe, Chipotle, UNO, and many other places. However, Baltimore isn't exactly the safest place out there, so we had some "encounters" with shady people and a couple of rap battles. In committee, we had a lot of fired up debate, and we even tracked and blew up Osama! In the end, I won Honorable Mention, which was great. So overall, I really got to bond with my fellow delegates, make new friends, snag an award, and really have a blast.
Now on to DCON. DCON is Key Club's New Jersey District Convention, where all the Key Clubs in NJ meet to share ideas and do workshops. Mostly, I just had a party. First off, my room with Aaron and Tanay was huge, and everyone wanted to hang out there. We all had a blast, and for anyone that is involved in a Key Club, you should definitely go there. One downside was the food, because it was pretty bad, but we did get to visit King of Prussia mall to get Taco Bell! Anyway, I dont want to ramble, so just check out DCON one year if you get a chance.
