Katowice Model United Nations took place from 12th to 14th of January.
Young people from our country (but not only) came to Katowice to take
part in this event as delegates. Last year I was helping as a page but this year I decided to challenge myself and I bacame the delegate of North Korea in the Drugs and Crime Council. I have to say it was AMAZING! I had so much fun during the committee work, I've learned how to write a real United Nations resolution and I opened my mind for different views and opinions which affected my personality and the way of thinking a lot!
Sure, KatMUN was tiring and demanded a lot of hard work to prepare but I'm glad that I got to the point where I finally realised what I would like to do in life - discuss and resolve conflicts to leave this world a little bit better.
Months before the whole event I was helping to prepare everything with my classmates. I was responsible for writing papers and messages to various people and companies in order to get financial support and patronate.
I'm glad that I took part in
this event. It was a great experience. I met a bunch of really nice
people and I found out that taking part in proceedings is very stisfying. I was proud of
myself being responsible for so many things. I also gained more experience and motivation to apply for other MUNs.

Service - WOŚP
A couple days ago I was collecting money for Polish charity called "Wielka
Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy". This charity is collecting during whole
year but once a year there is a final of this action. It was 25th time
this final took place. WOŚP and its volunteers are collecting for sick
children and old people all around the world.
This year I decided that I want to be a part of this venture AGAIN. So I joined it!
Me and a couple of my friends cut out heart shaped WOŚP stickers, grabbed our cans, IDs and went downtown. We were roaming around for about 4 hours, but the whole action disappointed me a little bit. I felt that my friends aren't really interested in helping. Moreover, people weren't as likely to donate money as they were last year (at least in my opinion) which really demotivated me. However, I decided to stay positive and remember about all those people I'm trying to help.
All in all I collected 263,33 PLN and I'm quite proud about it, despite the fact it's less than I collected in 2016.
It was great to become a part of something bigger and help somebody. I hope money I've collected will help someone in the future because that's the one and only reason why I decided to join this event. I've also learned something really important about myself - I'm more motivated when I work with people who are supportive and they cuddle up to work. But I'm also strong enough to overcome the lack of motivation anb become some kind of a leader who motivates the rest.
