I used to struggle with speaking and communication, however I was given opportunities to learn and grow and I want to give that opportunity to others by sharing their voice.
I passionately believe every young person in Wales should have a voice. A voice to be heard and to make change, this is why I have applied to represent Bridgend in the Welsh Youth Parliament.
I want to give you a voice on issues you care about, which is why I will gather your opinions, so you are heard.
All young people deserve access to free healthcare of the highest standard, to access the highest quality education and socialise without worrying about crime, and not have to worry about the cost of living.
I have developed public speaking skills throughout education that have helped me to refine my presentation skills and represent a topic concisely and effectively.
I would relish the opportunity to represent the values of Bridgend and every young person in the borough in a mature and professional manner.
Roedden i’n arfer cael trafferth yn siarad a chyfathrebu, ond cefais gyfle i ddysgu a thyfu ac ro’n i eisiau rhoi’r cyfle i eraill drwy rannu eu llais.
Rydw i’n credu’n gryf dylai pob person ifanc yng Nghymru gael llais. Llais i gael ei glywed a newid pethau, dyna pam dw i wedi gwneud cais i gynrychioli Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr yn Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru.
Dw i eisiau rhoi llais i chi ar bethau sy’n bwysig i chi, a dyna pam dw i’n bwriadu casglu eich barn i wneud yn siŵr bod chi’n cael eich clywed.
Mae pob person ifanc yn haeddu cael mynediad i ofal iechyd am ddim o’r safon uchaf, mynediad i’r addysg o safon a chymdeithasu heb boeni am drosedd, a pheidio poeni am gostau byw.
Dw i wedi datblygu sgiliau siarad cyhoeddus drwy fy addysg sydd wedi fy helpu i wella fy sgiliau cyflwyno, a chynrychioli pynciau yn gryno ac yn effeithiol.
Bydden i’n falch iawn o gael cyfle i gynrychioli gwerthoedd Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr a phob person ifanc yn y sir mewn ffordd aeddfed a phroffesiynol
