When I first heard about Simun, I was really not looking forward to it. Then when we were assigned the work pages to do, I didn’t want to even think about Simun. Then Simun came and my country was Japan another thing that didn’t please me about the Simun experience. In all honesty I didn’t like Simun, I think that it’s a good program for kids who are looking to do things like that or are looking for a career as to where you would need to be speaking. For me personally, I don’t think that this experience will ever come in handy in my life.
When It came down to it I think I did pretty well. The only reason I was speaking from day one though, is because my country was part of the scenario. I was forced to speak on my very first day of Simun. Considering it was my first day, I felt confident that I did well in defending my country and making sure no one went to war over any situations. On the second day of Simun, my country was thrown back out there, and brought up into the second scenario. Again, I wasn’t too happy that I had to speak, but I did it anyways so that I could receive a passing grade.
I wasn’t prepared for Simun, I thought I was because of all the work I did for Mrs.B. and all the assignments and research. When it came down to it though its more about being able to speak and thinking quick. The one day that she gave us a chance to practice the way it would really be in Simun, I didn’t do anything, because I thought that I was prepared. That was a big mistake because the next day when Simun was here, it hit me hard. Having to stand up and speak is one thing that I hate to do.
I actually don’t plan on staying in global Education. I only joined G.E. because my parents said it would look good on my college app. But I’ve recently realized I have to do things for me. I don’t like global education. I’m okay with the English class, but when it comes to the world events, not really my thing. If I were to stay in global education I would just practice speaking more, and try to get myself more involved with every scenario.
