The Contra Costa County Model United Nations conference kicked off with some inspirational words and great debate! Best Delegate‘s Kevin Felix Chan delivered a speech during the opening ceremonies about the most important personal lesson from Model UN — to be inspired by uncertainty and to let success come to you.

Both delegates are only in their second year of participating in Model UN but have already demonstrated strong leadership skills:
