At first, I think this is really informative. Through visiting various places, it was really interesting and I think this is a really good chance to experience the real US. I want to recommend this program especially to my friend who wants to participate in the UN program. For them, it would be a great experience. I think the most memorable experience was the session that addresses a nuclear weapons since it’s closely related to North Korea and South Korea. I doubted this program like “ Is this possible to get into the UN?” Because For me the United Nation was really far from me and hard to reach out. But then, when I really came to the UN. I realized that it’s really possible. I’m mostly summarizing agenda, analyzing current issues and searching the answer. It was really valuable and informative. It is really difficult to look at the council meeting and how they interact with each other in real United Nation but I did through this program. I think this is the most valuable thing. “Reality” what people see the outside of the government is really different from what is really happening inside of the government. since I had the experience of participating in council meetings, so I was able to see the inside of the government. I wanna work for the office that I’m currently working on from this program. I’ve been here just for a week but I really like this office, and I wanna work at this office in the future
