Non-Sporting Activities Term 2


Model United Nations
This term, we had to work more seriously on preparing for the Model United Nations conference, so we had created a final team to work on creating the greatest possible speech, and presentation of our speech. Also, we had planned to create several fundraising activities in order to raise money and awareness of several issues of global importance, like cancer and abuse. We had also discussed issues like genocide, and watched Hotel Rwanda to understand it a bit better. In addition to that, we had gone to another training session last minute, because we were told about it a day before the training session. We also had to leave a bit early because we didn't want to miss much of school, but I think we did pretty well and got some more positive criticism out of it.

Investment Club
We had quite a bit of problems this term, because of Superbowl, and trying to figure out which investments to make for the Olympics. This was particularly difficult because our portfolio manager had seemed to just stop caring, and we had to suspend him as portfolio manager after missing a record high in the market, and replace him with another person in the club who is as educated as the other manager is, but had cared more about the wellbeing of our portfolio and the club. Also, we had to train some new guys as to how to work in the stock market, and read the information given.
