LO1 -Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth.

This was a learning journey that made me aware of my strengths and weaknesses. The decoration setup for an event this scale was about patience, effort, and detail. Exciting things were the last-minute adjustments to our venue layout, where my adaptability skills were put to test. I learned to stay calm, think rationally, and apply a methodology to reach a solution. These awareness capabilities and limitations helped me to grow as an individual and have strengthened faith in solving problems.

LO3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience.

The planning of the FSMUN decor involved creativity and careful planning. I researched various thematic options, developed a timeline for implementation, and coordinated with my teammates to ensure that everything was set up on time. It would be this balance of creativity and feasibility that would allow me to ensure that the decorations were beautiful and served their purpose in the event. This has enhanced the importance of being a forward thinker and implementing time management, which is vital for any large-scale event.

Being part of the Organizing Committee required communication and team spirit at all times. I collaborated with various teams like logistics and marketing for the seamless execution of the event.

The experience taught me that teamwork is not just about dividing the work but also about helping each other to achieve the goal.
