JOMUN XII Reflection 9 - 28 - 14





JOMUN XII Reflection 9 – 28 – 14

            On Sunday, September 28, 2014, the last day of the JOMUN XII Conference came to an end. I, as a Press Team member, began the day by working on my Human Rights article with the notes I had taken during the debate. The debate focused on the rights prisoners are entitled to in African countries and centered on ways to provide equality and better living conditions within prisons. In addition, Raquel Wilson and I collaborated in conjunction to write the articles “Director’s Insight: Interviews” on page 1 and “Getting to know the bosses: SG & DSG Interview” on page 2 of JOMUNATION Issue 3. These articles were centralized on the opinions of delegates, visiting schools, the secretary general, and the deputy secretary general on the organization and atmosphere of the JOMUN XII Conference.
            Specifically, the Human Rights article focused on the prominent issue contained ethical implications within the prison systems of African countries. This, in turn through the recognition of the Johannesburg Model United Nations is seen as an issue of global importance. My commitment as a Press Member exceeded beyond the objective of simply a journalist. I helped where needed and supported my team members. I continually kept a positive attitude throughout the entire JOMUN XII Conference. A learning moment that I identified during the finale of the JOMUN XII Conference was how thoroughly I actually enjoyed this experience and saddened it was coming to an end.

            My motivation was consistent and thorough in the continuity of writing articles each day of the JOMUN XII Conference. Once again challenges were the lack of team members and time constraints, whose resolutions were touched on in the last reflection. The skills I have enhanced by participating in Johannesburg Model United Nations for the last two years such as: note taking, typing, writing, and communication; will all improve my future endeavors. I feel I have received a personal gain, through doing something I enjoy. I will always continue to participate in global affairs.
