Hello! My name is Bella Hsieh, and I’m a sophomore at Hong Wen International School. It’s my honor to serve as co-chair for the WHO committee! MUN has always been a deeply personal extracurricular to me, because of the connections I build within conferences as well as the various friends I make through discussions. Forging relationships means meeting unique people with different perspectives and of contrasting backgrounds, and there’s a beauty in diversity that allows us to reshape our perspectives of the world. I believe that it’s not just a conference, but a symbol of how we are still able to form the future through our own hands, developing pragmatic solutions to contribute to the real world. As the next generation, we should dismiss the ideology of “leaving it to the officials”, and build our own tomorrow. The people surrounding you are future diplomats, politicians and global leaders, so if you wish to make a change or impact in the world, start now! Aside from Model UN, I enjoy watching movies (my favorite movie has to be “everything, everywhere all at once”), reading novels in my free time or scanning psychology facts. Did you know that the hippocampus in London bus drivers is larger than normal people? I also enjoy watching rom-coms or sitcoms, and I can finish one season in a day! My favorite music artists are Laufey, the 1975 and beabadoobee. A fun fact about me is that I spend hours at night binge watching videos on YouTube where they react to their college acceptances, accelerating my anxiety for my senior year as well. I look forward to seeing you all in TAIMUN 2026!
