I would make a good member of the Welsh Youth Parliament because I have learnt many things that have allowed me to build skills that I think would be useful in a role such as this. I am an active member of my school’s debate team, which displays both my ability to work in a team and my ability to voice my opinions confidently. I was voted form representative for my registration class last year, a position I continue to hold this year. I am also a Patrol Leader in my Scout troupe. I have played large roles in the Shakespeare Schools Festival two years in a row. I am proud to be a member of the Senghenydd Youth Drop In Centre (SYDIC, the main youth provision in the Aber Valley). Through this provision I participate in the Young People’s Oral History and Heritage project, interviewing various members of the community about their lives and cultures; bridging the gaps between generations. All of these opportunities have prepared me for future collaborative and influential roles.

Byddwn yn aelod da o Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru oherwydd dw i wedi dysgu llawer o bethau sydd wedi fy ngalluogi i feithrin sgiliau a fyddai’n ddefnyddiol mewn rôl fel hon yn fy marn i. Dw i’n aelod gweithgar o dîm dadlau fy ysgol, sy'n dangos fy ngallu i weithio mewn tîm a’m gallu i leisio fy marn yn hyderus. Cefais fy ethol fel cynrychiolydd fy nosbarth cofrestru y llynedd, rôl dw i’n parhau i'w dal eleni. Dw i hefyd yn Arweinydd Patrôl yn fy ngrŵp Sgowtiaid. Dw i wedi chwarae rhan fawr yn y Shakespeare Schools Festival ddwy flynedd yn olynol. Dw i’n falch o fod yn aelod o Ganolfan Galw Heibio Ieuenctid Senghennydd (SYDIC, prif ddarpariaeth ieuenctid Cwm Aber). Trwy’r ddarpariaeth hon, dw i’n cymryd rhan ym mhrosiect Hanes Llafar a Threftadaeth Pobl Ifanc, gan gyfweld ag amrywiol aelodau o’r gymuned am eu bywydau a’u diwylliannau, gan bontio'r bylchau rhwng y cenedlaethau. Mae'r holl gyfleoedd hyn wedi fy mharatoi ar gyfer rolau cydweithredol a dylanwadol yn y dyfodol.
