I have always been passionate about politics, having been part of the school council in the past. I intend to study politics at university and work in politics in the future.
As a dedicated individual, I have many positive qualities such as effective communication skills, organisation, and working well with others and independently. I am extremely ambitious, and my 2024 GCSE results and Eisteddfod subject awards reflect this.
I believe I have a good understanding of the issues that affect young people in Wales and I want to develop this understanding by listening to young people from different backgrounds, and gathering information on the issues that concern them the most by using questionnaires. Diversity and representation are valuable to me as I have represented Wales in a European minority languages project.
I am keen to get the young people of Wales interested in politics by using the media to ensure that every young person has a voice.
Rwyf wedi bod yn angerddol am wleidyddiaeth erioed ar ôl bod yn rhan o’r Cyngor Ysgol yn y gorffennol. Rwy’n bwriadu astudio gwleidyddaieth yn y Brifysgol a gweithio yn y maes gwleidyddaieth yn y dyfodol.
Fel unigolyn ymroddedig mae gen i lawer o rinweddau cadarnhaol megis sgiliau cyfathrebu effeithiol, trefn a gweithio’n dda âg eraill ac yn annibynnol. Rwy’n hynod o uchelgeisiol ac mae fy nghanlyniadau TGAU 2024 a gwobrau pynciol Eisteddfod yn adlewyrchu hyn.
Credaf fod gen i ddealltwriaeth da o’r materion sydd yn effeithio pobl ifanc Cymru ac rwyf am ddatblygu’r dealltwriaeth yma trwy wrando ar bobl ifanc o gefndiroedd gwahanol a chasglu gwybodaeth ar y materion sydd yn eu poeni nhw fwyaf trwy ddefnyddio holiaduron. Mae amrywiaeth a chynrychiolaeth yn werthfawr i mi gan fy mod i wedi cynrychioli Cymru mewn prosiect ieithoedd lleiafrifol Ewropeaidd.
Rwy’n awyddus i ymddiddori pobl ifanc Cymru mewn gwleidyddiaeth gan ddefnyddio’r cyfryngau i sicrhau fod gan bob person ifanc lais.
