Global issues are one of my
favorite matters I like to look into. Therefore, I am so glad that I can
finally join MUN team in 7th grade. I believe MUN would be a great way of
showing my talent on debating using my critical thinking skills.
Global
issues are important to me because when I grow up, I would like to be an
ambassador. As you know, an ambassador is a diplomat on its highest rank that
has to meet other countries’ high officials and equivalent. To the ambassadors,
global issues are their highly prioritized subjects since it is their job to
deal with it. I look at the international news section often to see what is
going on and imagine what will I do if I were to solve this problem. I discuss
these issues with my dad and sometimes we find out ways that issues can be
resolved. Every time I came to the end of these discussions, I wonder how happy
will I be to do what I love, global issues.
One of the
global issues that I am interested in is about Julian Assange, a famous
Australian activist who founded WikiLeaks. He is now staying in Ecuadorian
Embassy in London, where he is resisting arrest from British
government. UK is trying to send Assange to Sweden where he is facing allegation
of sexual assault. Then Sweden wants to extradite him to US where he could face
charges of leaking secretive information about Iraq and Afghanistan war
reports. I am interested upon him these days because he is the founder of
WikiLeaks, a non-profit organization that publishes secrets of governments and
companies. I believe if UK gets him out of Ecuador in London and he faces
charges against him, his corporation would get an enormous damage. I wonder
what will happen next to him.
Although
it is not about international issues, US Politics is a very appealing subject to
me. On November 6th, 2012, United States Presidential Election will
happen. Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are going to compete
against each other. A week ago, there was Republican National Convention, here
at Tampa, Florida from August 27th-30th. Though I didn’t
get to watch the full videos I did see the result. Governor Romney is the
presidential nominee and Congressman Ryan is the vice-president nominee for the
Republicans. On September 3rd-6th, there was Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
President Obama and Vice-President Biden are the Democratic nominees for this
year’s election. I am very exited to see who will win this race and govern this
country well into a better condition.
I believe I would be an asset to MUN team
because I have skills on delivering speeches and ideas clearly. When I was 7, I
was invited to national speech contest by all-English kindergarten to compete
with others from different parts of South Korea. Also, I am taught to think
critically to speak persuasively using various details. I use those skills in
school to write essays and to discuss my opinions. In addition, I am a risk
taker, who is not afraid of speaking out. I can express my thoughts in a clear tone
with supporting reasons, persuasively. So pick me as a MUN member to represent
Williams IB Middle Magnet School.
