On “I think of MUN as a bridge connecting unawareness and reality,” Kaylee Sager proudly stated as she sat down for her interview. Sager, the Deputy Secretary General (DSG) of THIMUN-Singapore III, first became interested in Model United Nations s in 8th grade; now, as a senior in the International School of Beijing, MUN has become a huge part of her life. Sager has connected her love of MUN with her appreciation of living in China: “I feel thankful for the experience, for the opportunity to learn different cultures and for how different people are willing to share their experience.” This year isn’t the first time Sager has held a DSG position, but she feels excited nonetheless. “I’m honored. I feel like it gives me the opportunity to work with not only the delegates, but also the people that are holding up the MUN program, and just everything we stay in contact with. It enables me to see the whole big picture.” She adds, “It’s a chance for me to give back to the MUN program what it has given me.” Sager certainly feels that MUN has given her the opportunity to communicate with the real world, which she would have never been able to encounter elsewhere. Having previously attended 16 conferences, Sager has had invaluable experiences in each and every one of them. This marks her first time at THIMUN-Singapore, and she is certain she will learn just as much as the delegates, and remains eager about seeing the issues on the agenda being debated. Sager deftly connects this year’s topics to the real world, remarking, “I am glad the theme is gender equality this year, because I consider gender equality extremely important. Living in China, you can especially see how it takes place, how women just stay at home and work. It’s an issue that isn’t recent, but is becoming less and less of an issue. People are starting to pick up on it and take action. I hope we can help prevent a lot of inequality that still exists.” “A lot of times when people start MUN, they do not fully understand the significance of what it means to know about all these issues,” Sager claims. “They don’t know that their ideas and solutions actually go to the real UN, and it is just amazing that at such a young age, there is a link provided for kids to learn about the world and actually solve the problems to make a better world. It’s our chance to take what we might have known before and build on it for the better world. It became more than apparent that MUN plays an important role in the heart Kaylee Sager.
