Hello! I am Nichole Lin, and I am a sophomore at Kang Chiao International School Linkou Campus (KCISLK). I am glad to serve as your president at ECOSOC at this year’s HSINMUN. This is my 14th conference, my fifth time as a student officer, and my fourth time chairing.
I started my MUN journey in seventh grade, and Hsinmun's Ecosoc was the exact committee where this journey started. I lacked a lot of confidence to go up to the podium because I was scared that people were going to judge what I say and how I speak. However, I soon realized that MUN is not only about debating, and definitely not a competition. For me, MUN is about the process of collaboration between people that helps us realize that we are working towards the same goal. It has become more like a hobby to me, rather than just a conference. Therefore, make friends and have fun. You will realize that the people around you are more similar to you than you imagined.
Besides MUN, I have a lot of other hobbies. First of all, I really like reading, mostly thrillers and romantasies. So if you read similar books as me, we will have a lot to talk about. I also enjoy singing, even though my voice always cracks. If you have any questions or you just simply want to talk to me, feel free to approach me!
Greetings, delegates!
My name is Chloe Cheng, a rising sophomore at Hsinchu International Academy, and it is my absolute honor to serve as your Co-Chair for this year's HSINMUN conference. Over the past few years, Model United Nations has become one of the most meaningful parts of my high school journey. What started as stepping into the committee with sweaty palms has grown into a passion for debate, diplomacy, and meeting incredible people from all over. MUN has taught me how to think critically, collaborate with others, and, perhaps most importantly, embrace perspectives that challenge my own.
Whether this is your very first conference or your fifteenth, I encourage each of you to make the most of every committee session. Don't be afraid to raise your placard, speak your mind, and take risks. Some of my favorite MUN memories came from moments when I stepped outside my comfort zone, and I hope this conference gives you the chance to create memories you'll look back on just as fondly.
Outside of MUN, I'm usually drinking matcha, listening to music on repeat, shopping for clothes I definitely don't need, or rewatching my favorite sitcoms. So if you have any recommendations, I'd absolutely love to hear them. I'm also always happy to chat about concerts, good food, or anything in between!
Last but not least, if you have any questions before or during the conference, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet all of you in October, and I hope HSINMUN will be as memorable and rewarding for you as it has been for me.
See you all soon!
