The thought of standing up in a room full of strangers can seem frightening at first, especially if you’re inexperienced, overwhelmed, and very nervous. This is exactly how I felt upon entering my committee room at Duxbury High School for my first Model UN conference a couple of weeks ago.

We all have someone we look up to or admire. We aspire to be like this person and live our lives with the same grace with which that they lived their lives. For many people, that person was Stan Lee. Stan Lee—the true hero of stories—recently passed away on November 12, 2018. He died from heart and respiratory failure. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the genius of Stan Lee, he was the primary creative leader of the Marvel Comics. He created the iconic Iron Man, the heroic Captain America, the talented Black Widow, the Incredible Hulk, the genius Doctor Strange, the warmhearted...
