My name is Natalia Simonovski, and I’m honored to serve as your Director for the FAO committee! I’m thrilled to welcome you all to what I know will be an engaging and meaningful conference. In this committee, we’ll be focusing on one of the most pressing issues facing our world today: climate change and its effects on agriculture. I’ve been involved in the Cerritos MUN program for four years and am excited to finish with this committee! This is a topic I’m deeply passionate about and hope our committee inspires you to think critically, speak boldly, and take action beyond the conference room. MUN has strengthened my speaking abilities, pushed me way out of my comfort zone, and helped me grow my skills not only in debate but also in life. I hope that through this conference, you will have had a great experience and have had developed a strong passion for MUN like I do. My hope for you during this conference is that you step into the discomfort, embrace the challenge, and use your voice to represent the voiceless. Ask questions, build relationships, and don’t be afraid to respectfully challenge what’s presented. Your ideas matter, and this committee only thrives when everyone contributes. I’m here to support you every step of the way and can’t wait to see the passion and creativity each of you brings to the debate! Best of luck and wishing you all a great conference! My name is Ashley Sulji Kim and I am beyond thrilled to serve as your Co-Director for FAO! I have been in the Cerritos MUN program since freshman year and I can confidently say that it has truly played a crucial role in my high school life. Helping me improve my linguistic skills but also skills in which standard classes can not teach. Some of my most cherished memories have been the experiences I’ve gained through this program and I am so grateful to be a part of yours too! As a normal girl, I dabble in numerous activities such as angrily playing monopoly deals with acquaintances, BLASTING worship music or Fleetwood Mac, and carefully watching cinematic films while trying to be fully engrossed in all the tiny details the film has to display. You’ll also definitely catch me at any Chipotle scarfing down a bowl 24/7 and mixing sour cream with vinaigrette which is the ultimate method. If you know, you know. In committee, although it’s redundant, confidence mixed with preparedness is the best mixture for success. I fully understand how anxious you might be to mess up in your speech or mod but have peace in knowing that everybody feels that way too! Be sure not to dwell on your mistakes but rather use them as a handy tool for growth! These are learning experiences. Go in with courage and be a GODZILLA!! |
