Senior Aryan Sikhinam is the President of Jonathan Law’s Model U.N. Club. Advocate News Editor Brady O’Neil interviewed Sikhinam about his experience in the club.

BO: What made you want to join Model U.N.?

AS: I wanted to join Model U.N. because a lot of my friends were joining. I also knew little about it, so I thought it would be a good idea to try it out. It was also a good opportunity to meet new people. 

BO: What’s your favorite part about being in Model U.N.?

AS: My favorite part about being in the club is getting to learn about international affairs while also being with my friends. It’s a great way to socialize after school and connect with other people, as well as people from other countries.

BO: How do you prepare for the U.N. trip in March?

AS: Each group gets assigned a country, and is in charge of making solutions and discussing with other delegates who are in charge of other countries, and they try and find solutions for those issues. 

BO: What is one of your favorite memories or funniest moments from a Model U.N.event?

AS: One of my favorite memories was on last year’s trip where we were able to hang out in the hotel. Those are memories that I will never forget and will keep with me for the rest of my life. 

BO: What advice would you give to someone thinking about joining Model U.N. next year?

AS: I would highly recommend joining the club. It’s a great way to meet new, like-minded people who want to learn about other countries.
