Being a Reporter at the International Press in Model United Nations

I hate procrastination!

It was back in November of 2022 when I thought of writing this post. I had attended my first ever Model United Nations (MUN) - St. Xavier's College MUN - and yet received the Best Reporter Award from the International Press Committee. I was driven to write a post and even create a YouTube video sharing the inexpressible joy. Nonetheless, it never happened, and came the second MUN of my life - Kathmandu World School MUN - a MUN that had really good hype. Again, the motivation I gained from the first MUN was already pushing me to my second award at the second MUN. Indeed, it happened. I won the Best Reporter award at this MUN, too.

If you are excited reading about my achievement of 2 awards in 2 MUNs. Let me tell you this, the three days in both MUNs came with 10 hours of sleep only.

An International Press Committee has two delegations: A reporter and A Photographer. Choosing to be a photographer over a reporter will reward you with plenty amount of sleep - it shall be a Good Night. If you are choosing a reporter over the other, you gotta think about it a hundred times. Thinking about sleep will give you nightmares. Honestly, so many reports, interviews, articles, and preparation for the Press Conference, all of these take so much time that you can barely focus on any other activity, not even your Good Night's sleep.

How can I miss telling you the most difficult task of being a reporter? You ought to stay two full days in a MUN Committee that you are assigned, hearing the debates between delegations from various countries, yet having nothing to speak but to write down anything and everything that happened during the committee, from intense debates to random gossip. If you find yourself incapable of doing these, I reckon International Press is not a wise choice for you.

It would be unfair if I said I learned a few things from MUN. It taught me a lot of things. Despite International Press not being a social committee, interactions with the Head and Editor-In-Chief will teach you great things.

What's more pleasing is hearing "No Comments" from the delegates. During the press conference, we - the reporters have the privilege of asking questions to the delegates. When the questions are literally tough and the delegates refrain from answering them, we gain additional points. Moreover, hearing multiple "No Comments" made me feel special during the MUNs.

It was only during MUNs I never procrastinated!

It is going to be an abrupt ending but see you in another article!

Unemployment in Nepal - ExamTime Essays

Question: Write an essay on 'Unemployment in Nepal' in about 450 words. Total Words: 440 The world has progressed from the medieval age to the modern age, which has increased our focus on the economy. Today, everyone wishes to become rich so, unemployment has been seen as a major problem in developing countries because of the inability of people to find expertise in any field. It is being faced by Nepal, as well. At present, millions of Nepalese are jobless and have been migrating to India, the Middle East, and other countries. However, this does not end the problem of unemployment in Nepal. Out of the 30 million population of Nepal, nearly 1-2% of the people are unemployed. It has led to the rise in poverty level, the spread of diseases, and other socio-economic problems. Illiteracy is not the major cause of this problem. Indeed, lack of technical education is. Schools in Nepal have been developing minds that get emp...

Education Enlightens People with Wisdom

138 Words Education Enlightens People with Wisdom The only fact that separates a man from animals is education. It is a general sense of awareness that a person uses to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad. Often, education is said to be the third eye of an individual. While the two eyes help us to see the world, this third eye which can be obtained from educational institutions like schools, colleges, etc. formally, enlightens us with intellectual ability to observe and perceive the world. Wisdom, is another name for education that is generally gained by informal ways as the formal ones hugely focus on grades rather than morality. A person, who imparts knowledge regarding ethics, behavior, and right acts, and implements them in daily life, is said to be a wise one. Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi are the best examples of it.

  My Country: Nepal ' Unity in Diversity' defines my country. Located between two of the biggest countries in the world China and India, my country Nepal, is geographically smaller and a landlocked country. Nonetheless, eight of the highest peaks of the world lie here, Light of Asia, Gautam Buddha was born here, the highest peak of the world, Mt.Everest lies here. Also, 10 of the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites lie within this small country. Nepal is a historically, biologically, and spiritually a unique country in the world. Though, Nepal's current geographical area is 1,47,516 sq.km., the Greater Nepal in 1804 was much bigger than what we have right now. Another surprising fact, yet a matter of pride is that we have never been the colony of foreign powers. So, we have never celebrated the Independence Day. Geographically, our country is divided into three landforms: Mountain, Hilly an...
