AIC- NSA Reflection

In response to the NSA’s final thoughts...

      In my opinion, our NSA was able to clearly summarize our team perfectly. Their first half of the response was more of a “Thank You” and “I hope you learned as much as I did”, although sweet in thought, very unnecessary in terms of evaluating our teams’ involvement throughout the simulation. When they were actually able to critique us, they did so briefly and touched on our major contributions. They were able to connect all of our contributions by breaking us up as individuals. I acted as Prince Bandar Bin Sultan and the NSA’s comments were: “. Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, your consistent communication with the other players in the game was very much appreciated by me and everyone else in the simulation. Although others may not have been able to see, I know how much work you put into maintaining contact with everyone. I think this behind the scenes contact helped to build the foundation that the rest of Saudi Arabias actions could rest upon.” Upon reading this I was happy to know that my efforts throughout the simulation were not neglected and that what I did was able to have an impact on the teams’ advancement throughout the game. I am able to say that even though I played a small role in our team as Saudi Arabia I was able to contribute to our overall success. I was able to learn a lot throughout the simulation, especially in terms of communication and research development.
