Given that extracurricular activities are critical in promoting student success, may they continue to push themselves forward. In fact, perhaps some of them will be a part of SPC\u2019s Model UN team in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
