CANDIDATE STATEMENT

I would like to be a member of the youth parliament as I am very proud of my language and my country and I would like to have more of a say on what I would improve in the future. I think I would be a good member of the Youth Parliament as I am able to listen to everyone's ideas and opinions and I am good at voicing those ideas. I believe that the Welsh language is important to Wales and therefore it must be promoted more, especially in towns in Wales where the majority of the population speaks English. In addition to that, I think that a little more mental health care is needed in schools, especially for the pupils who are sitting exams as it is a terribly frustrating time for them.

DATGANIAD YMGEISYDD

Hoffwn fod yn aelod o'r senedd ieienctid gan fy mod yn falch iawn o fy iaith a fy ngwlad ac hoffwn cael mwy o lais ar beth y fuaswn yn ei wella tua'r dyfodol. Credaf y fyswn i yn aelod da o'r Senedd Ieuenctid gan fy mod yn gallu gwrando ar syniadau a barnau pawb ac rydw i yn dda ar leisio y syniadau yna. Credaf fod yr iaith Gymraeg yn bwysig i Gymru ac felly mae yn rhaid ei hybu mwy yn enwedig mewn trefi yng Nghymru sydd gyda'r rhan fwyaf o'r boblogaeth yn siarad saesneg. Yn ogystal a hynny mewn ysgolion, credaf y fod angen ychydig mwy o ofal iechyd meddwl yn enwedig i'r disgyblion sydd yn sefyll arholiadau gan ei fod yn amser rhwystredig ofnadwy iddynt.
