Candidate Statement: I’ve always been interested in
politics. The feelings of frustration and yearning to make a difference to the
world without knowing how to do so is why I want to become a Welsh Youth
Parliament Member. Growing up in a town and school environment where people
around me were predominantly white I often felt and still feel like I never
really belonged. I’d love to use my past and present experiences to make other
young people who may feel how I’ve felt feel less alone and that just as much
as anyone they can make their voices heard and they belong where they are
listened to. People should vote for me as I really think I could listen to
young people’s voices while being a friendly face they feel they could trust.
Through school, work and other activities I’m surrounded by other young people
and their opinions. Through attending bell ringing, volunteering with Cubs and
attending the Cardiff and Vale high schools orchestra, all of which have given
me plenty of spaces to find what the young people of Wales really want. I
believe all young people have so much to give and say if we are given the right
outlet.
