My key issues are:
Youth
Mental Health
Youth
Activities
Educational
Funding
Candidate Statement: I am passionate about creating a fair
society where everyone is treated equally and has the same opportunities and
voice on current affairs. As such, I would enjoy being a Welsh Youth Parliament
member and would make sure that I used the position wisely to speak to as many
young people in my area as possible, so that I could understand the relevant
issues and put forward their case to the Welsh Parliament.
I was a school counsellor on two occasion in my Primary
school and this gave me good skills in communication and working with others to
achieve our goals.
I regularly take part in debates in school and with my
friends about today's problems and feel I can put my point my point across well
but am able to take on board other points of view also.
