This was my second ever meeting with the committee, and this time, I wasn't as afraid as the last meeting since I already experienced it once and I had an idea of how a meeting goes now. Here is the basic agenda of the meeting:
These monthly meetings with the council allow me to gain experience in so many levels, which definitely can help me in the future, some skills I already improved on are:
- Public speaking - Speaking in front of a large crowd has always been my weakness, since everyone needs to contribute to the meetings, I had to express my ideas to a group of adults which was pretty frightening at first, however I am getting used to it.
- Note taking with speed - This is a very important skill for me to learn since for the upcoming school year, I will be acting as the secretary of the UNICEF Club, and I will be in charge in writing the minutes (summary) of the meetings. This skill is also very useful for in-class note taking as I heard from older students that the pace of classes goes faster and faster each year.
