Finally the time had come. Conference began as the students were greeted with virtual messages from John Kerry and 2nd Gentleman Douglas Emhoff along with the wonderful experience of being in person at this conference. Earlier in the day, the students representing the Republic of Korea got to meet with the first secretary in a briefing where they got a Q&A which was also cool. They were nervous as they looked around and saw so many other delegates. As we walked in, you heard a multitude of languages and overall just a very cool moment to experience for them. Albeit virtual for half the time, these student endured some of the most challenging times as delegates and were able to come and enjoy this experience in person. It was time to focus and many of them started off the conference right. It was great to see them active and engaged and excited as committee ended. Just being here was enough, but seeing them in committee realized that there was so much more to this experience. We are all exhausted from this impacted week, however, they refocused and got to work. Let's see how this goes!
