Tia Koulaylat is a Senior at Al Mawakeb Al Barsha. Attending her first ever MUN conference in the ninth grade, she found herself in the United Nations Security Council - the most challenging committee in the conference. Even though she walked out of the committee empty handed, she won something more. The love of debate. After persevering in the club that she had learned to love, she proceeded to win an award in every other conference that she delegated, was awarded Junior Executive Board in AMSI25’, and now has the honor of being part of the Senior Executive board of AMSIMUN 2026. Tia wishes you all the best of luck, and she cannot wait to spend her last ever MUN conference with such a talented batch of students!

Known, at least to himself, as a visionary in the making, Majed Kawakneh surprisingly did not start off his journey through MUN on the right footing. Fresh out of 7th grade, his first AMSI conference shook him to his core, yet it allowed him to develop an itch for something greater. He just thought he would pretend like he knew what he was doing until the final committee session, and it somehow worked, earning him his first ever award. Regardless of the fact that it was a beginner committee and he only scraped by because of his position paper, that award was priceless in his hands. His passion for MUN only grew from there, and the rest was history.

Zeinab is a senior at Al Mawakeb Al Barsha whose love for MUN began in the seventh grade and has flourished ever since. Now serving as Head of MUN, she is delighted to join this year’s AMSIMUN Executive Board. What started as one conference in her first year has grown into eighteen, with AMSIMUN ‘26 marking her 19th and final experience, bringing a memorable journey to a bittersweet end. For her, MUN is not just a test of diplomacy and debate, but a platform to engage in meaningful discussions and build lasting connections. Some of her closest friendships have come through her participation in conferences as a delegate, chair, and faculty member. Throughout her involvement, including leadership roles in YMUN and MUN, she has grown into a confident and knowledgeable researcher, ready to take on challenges that extend beyond debate. She looks forward to this final experience as a fitting conclusion to her journey. She cannot wait to see what you all will bring to this conference, marking a notable conclusion to what has been a defining experience.

Procrastinating, uninspired, and unproductive — these were the qualities Batool believed defined her before she discovered the club that would become her passion. The thought of MUN made her anxious; she feared failing at public speaking and feeling embarrassed. Yet when courage overcame hesitation, she took her first step into what would be the first of many conferences, and everything changed. In that moment, she realized she had found her calling. What once intimidated her began to empower her. Today, Batool carries herself with confidence, self-reliance, and empowerment — qualities she once thought were beyond her reach. She learned that true failure lies not in mistakes, but in never trying at all.

Leadership, boldness, and independence are qualities that MUN helped Kareem Sadeddin develop.

His experience stands as a testament to how stepping into the unknown can shape strong, capable leaders.
