Hello, my name is Carys Simons,
I’m 16 years old and I’m a sixth form student at Tonyrefail Community School. I
represent YEPS at the Welsh Youth Parliament.
I would describe myself as a
very creative and open-minded person. A few of my hobbies include listening to
music, crating art and watching k-dramas. I am looking forward to the new
chances and opportunities the Welsh Youth Parliament will bring me. A year ago,
I would never have thought I’d stand up to the issues that are arising, but I
have learnt that you’ll never succeed if you don’t try.
I look forward to meeting new
people, taking part in new experiences the Welsh Youth Parliament and bringing
about change for young people in Wales.
