~:[CH12 - Day 113]:~ Alma Mater
It's always fun to go back to my alma mater. It's so beautiful and every time I go back, there is something new that makes it even better. The student center, where I hosted all those events and conferences looks amazing now and of course the UTC is a great place to relax and grab a nice bit during the breaks. I was a little upset at myself that I volunteered to take the second day, but at the same time, I was glad I was there. The conference was quite small with only five committees, so it was easy to go around and check out the committees. With a group of less than 30, I was happy with how easy it was to monitor. In the end, the students were active and engaged. Of the five committees, we got three best delegates and added the large school delegation award. It was cool to see one of my students who really grew in Model UN since freshman year. I was impressed while watching him in caucus and strangely, when he won the gavel, I wasn't surprised after watching him in committee today. One of the greatest things about working with this program are the transformations that I get to see with these students. Some are quite, some are disengaged, some are unfocused, but many turn it around and find their own path towards success. This student was one of them. Just like how my alma mater transformed, year after year, these students transform and for both of these transformations, I am forever grateful and proud.
