Talk about amazing! So, I was a representative for Califonria at the United Nations in New York.. it was such an amazing experience. I met a lot of interesting people and heard a lot of interesting talks. The group (it was people from all over the world) attended meetings and we got to ask questions and put in our in-put.
I've always been into Humanitarian Aid... so I enjoyed the meetings. There were a few stories that really stuck in my mind though...

One man that talked (I believe he was from France....) was talking about children... mostly kids involved in the drug wars in third world countries. He was saying the the newest way for someone to smuggle drugs into another country is to kill a kid, empty them out, and fill their insides with drugs and ship them to another country in a coffin... it's so disgusting.

But anyway.. the tour guide we had was from Nigeria... super nice guy with an awesome accent.
