I would like to join the Senedd Ieuenctid because I would love to represent my classmates and other young people in my area, and voice their concerns and needs, in a place where they can be heard. I have previously ran for school council on multiple occasions in Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni, where I worked to gain the trust and support of people by talking with them, and offering to always be ready to hear their ideas. I have brought many of my fellow students concerns directly to the higher powers of the school, and people have so far been happy with my ability to give them a voice and help bring their issues to the forefront. So if I were to campaign in my school many people would want to see me bring their concerns to a power higher than just the head of year, and would happily try and get me a place. I think I would be a good fit in the Senedd Ieuenctid, because I have people skills, and a genuine want to meet, and voice the needs of young people throughout wales, who don't have a voice.

Hoffwn ymuno â’r Senedd Ieuenctid oherwydd byddwn wrth fy modd yn cynrychioli fy nghyd-ddisgyblion a phobl ifanc eraill yn fy ardal, a lleisio eu pryderon a’u hanghenion, mewn man lle gellir eu clywed. Dw i wedi sefyll am gyngor yr ysgol sawl gwaith yn flaenorol yn Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni, lle bûm yn gweithio i ennill ymddiriedaeth a chefnogaeth pobl trwy siarad â nhw, a chynnig bod yn barod bob amser i glywed eu syniadau. Dw i wedi codi pryderon llawer o’m cyd-fyfyrwyr gyda staff uwch yr ysgol yn uniongyrchol, ac mae pobl hyd yma wedi bod yn hapus â’m gallu i roi llais iddyn nhw a helpu i ddod â’u materion i’r amlwg. Felly, pe bawn i'n ymgyrchu yn fy ysgol byddai llawer o bobl eisiau fy ngweld i’n codi eu pryderon gydag aelod o staff sy’n uwch na’r pennaeth blwyddyn yn unig, a bydden nhw’n hapus yn ceisio cael lle i mi. Dw i’n meddwl y byddwn i'n addas iawn ar gyfer y Senedd Ieuenctid, oherwydd mae gen i sgiliau pobl, ac angen gwirioneddol i ddiwallu, a lleisio anghenion pobl ifanc nad oes ganddyn nhw lais ledled Cymru.
