I would like to enter myself as a Youth Parliament member because I want to be a voice for those who are too scared or feel as though they cannot speak. I want to bring issues that lie around North Wales and face them, ensuring that instead of just talking about them, that we are actually doing something to help ensure that something is being done. We as young people are left to face issues on a day-to-day basis and are expected to just ‘figure it out’. I feel that by using my voice to ensure that not just myself but my friends and those around me are heard and feel seen: building on that I will be able to not just voice issues, but give attempt to award them solutions. I myself have experience with talking to others due to having been in many clubs amd have taken part in many school extras (school council, performing, etc). People should vote for me because I pledge to try and use my voice for the benefit of young people and to change our area and future for the better.
Hoffwn wneud cais i fod yn aelod Senedd Ieuenctid oherwydd rwyf am fod yn llais i'r rhai sy'n teimlo gormod o ofn neu'n teimlo nad ydynt yn gallu codi llais. Rwyf am ddod â materion sy’n berthnasol i ogledd Cymru a’u hwynebu, gan sicrhau yn hytrach na dim ond siarad amdanynt, ein bod wir yn gwneud rhywbeth i helpu i sicrhau bod rhywbeth yn cael ei wneud. Rydym ni fel pobl ifanc yn gorfod wynebu problemau o ddydd i ddydd ac mae disgwyl i ni ‘weithio pethau allan'. Rwy’n teimlo bod defnyddio fy llais i sicrhau fy mod i a hefyd fy ffrindiau a’r rhai o’m cwmpas yn cael eu clywed a’u gweld: gan adeiladu ar hynny byddaf yn gallu lleisio materion, ond hefyd yn gallu ceisio dod o hyd i atebion iddynt. Mae gen i brofiad fy hun o siarad ag eraill oherwydd fy mod wedi bod mewn llawer o glybiau ac wedi cymryd rhan mewn llawer o weithgareddau ysgol ychwanegol (cyngor ysgol, perfformio, ac ati). Dylai pobl bleidleisio i mi oherwydd fy mod yn addo ceisio defnyddio fy llais er lles pobl ifanc a newid ein hardal a'n dyfodol er gwell.
