MUNDP

Hey there!


It's been a long time since the last time I've written and I know that you missed me. But let me say; You didn't miss anything! Some boring time which won't even worth writing. But this week-end our school had it's 8th annual Model United Nations Development Programme Conference. We, the MUN club of The Koc School tried to do our best and had a lot of fun in our school during Friday, Suturday and Sunday.

What is UNDP?


The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development network.The UNDP is an executive board within the United Nations General Assembly. The UNDP Administrator is the third highest ranking member of the United Nations after the United Nations Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General.

Sooo MUNDP is the model of this. :)))

We worked really hard and disscuss on these topics;


Climate Refugees

HIV Treatment In South Africa

Promoting New Ideas To The Schools In India


All of the delegates represented one of the United Nations Agency's or some countries which are involved in the current situation. And I was the delegate of European Union on the topic of Climate Refugees. We, the 24 delegates in the committee one, discussed to find new solutions to the topic of climate refugees. That is something that I'm gonna explain on my second post.



What I want to say is that we, the Koc MUN students tried to act like the real delegates in the United Nations. We dressed like them and we talked in a formal language. Also we disscussed issues in English which I believe improved our public talking skills.



Also another significance of our conference was that unlike any other MUN conference, we didn't had a chance to study for it. But our lovely school helped us by inviting some facilitators who are experts on each of the topic and they gave us info's and answered to our questions.


I met lots of new people from HEV, Yüzyıl Işıl, Robert College, German School and even our own school. I had lots of fun with lots of different kinds of people. I want to congratulate our Executive Board who are a bunch of Koc School students (most of them are 11th graders) who worked really hard on the conference. There were some missing parts but I know that next year with us and lots of other participants, we will have a better conference !!!


This is it for today and I must tell you; If you are not in the MUN club but you want to meet new people, discuss on the world issues and if you are into politics; you SHOULD join next year !!!

Lot's of love,

xoxox.

What would I do???

Dear friends, :)

Thanks to everyone who helped me to write this post by commenting on their own thoughts. You helped me a lot because I had a whole week to think on the topic and I now know what to tell to you. :)


First of all, I believe that the topic 'friendship' is really important and changes according to every different person. Because, no one is the same and every person has their own way to solve problems. I assume that most of you who commented believed that a friendship is really hard to find and you should not lose it so quickly. I totally agree to that opinion.


"Nobody Wants to Be lonely" as Christina Aguilera and Ricky Martin sang. That is absolutely true but if you don't want to be lonely, you should not take every single mistake that our friend has made to consideration. If you are a selfish person who never gives anything but always wants, than you are ment to be lonely. :( You should change yourself !!!


Just as Mrs. Clark commented, you cannot find anyone that would agree to all of your decisions. If you have than that probably is not your best friend, that person would be your sheep and you would be that persons shephard. We are all independent human beings but do not exaggerate. You are nto the top of the world. You have to face it.

Friendships are really important and you can't throw them away as easy as a garbage. If you want to take some, at first, you should give some. Be nice to everyone but make sure that you are both happy. If your friend is the only one who is benefited, than you might want to have a talk or try to figure out what to do. Do not force yourself for maintaining your friendships.

........xoxo.......

Good Friendship !!

Do you ever feel like your very best friend is nothing like you ???

Or s/he never has the same opinion about any topic with you ???

Do you think that you should end a relationship that you have nothing in common ???

Tell me with your comments what you think about this situation. And at the end of this week I will post about my opinions and we can see how different we are. ( If we can be good friends or not ) :):)
