When hearing about this position I was extremely
enthusiastic and excited to have a chance to represent the views of young people
in my local area.My home town is Merthyr Tydfil, though I am proud to attend
Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun, a large Welsh medium secondary school in the Cynon
Valley.I would love to be part of the Youth Parliament and would relish the
chance to become an elected member . This would give me an opportunity to voice
my opinion on the three key issues mentioned previously.
I’ve been an elected member of my school’s council for 3
years and in that time I’ve had extensive training on the rights of children. The
school council has allowed me a platform to express the views and explore
the issues that affect young people within my school and local community.
I believe that young people should vote for me as they can
trust me to represent them and convey their opinions in a clear, concise
manner. I'm a very approachable character and a confident public speaker.This
is evident as I recently participated and got through to the Welsh final of the
RSPCA great debate held in Cardiff Bay.
