Candidate Statement: Wales is a diverse and hearty country
and its youth are its future. To ensure Wales maintains its culture, welcoming familial
environment and character we need people who understand all communities and is
always willing to learn. Someone who is keen on showing understanding with
people from all walks of life; above all someone who is willing to make a
change on our streets, schools and workplaces.
I believe our voices need to be heard consequently it’s my
belief that I am a person who is confident enough to make sure everyone can get
their say and see results. I understand the challenges of being a teenager, be
it issues surrounding the environment, social media or mental health. I have
many ideas on improving Wales and keen to hear more perspectives.
I am a member of Cardiff youth council and I interact with
other youths interested in making change in Cardiff often. I also understand
issues surrounding diversity, alcohol and drugs, mental health, issues on
streets, bullying, and social media. I carry insight on what children around my
age think of Wales and the Senedd and this will aid me should I become a member
of the Welsh youth parliament.
