CANDIDATE STATEMENT

My name is Emily Gosling, and I am standing as a member of the Welsh Youth Parliament because I have a passion for representing you.
As a young person living in Wales, I know the highs and lows of Welsh life. Not only am I passionate about my issues, I've lived them. Namely mental health, an issue impacting my local area. I know what it's like to suffer through shame accessing mental health support, or being sat on waiting lists for months. It's time we not only acknowledge this, but make the effort to support young people nationwide. Another issue that is inherently important to us is education. Literacy levels in Wales are at an all time low - that is unfair on you. No young person deserves to be limited solely due to where they live. You deserve to pursue your aspirations, you deserve to be proud of your heritage, you deserve to know there's a seat in the Welsh Youth Parliament reserved for your opinions. My candidacy is your candidacy, my seat is your seat, make your vote, for me.

DATGANIAD YMGEISYDD

Emily Gosling ydw i a dw i’n sefyll fel ymgeisydd ar gyfer Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru oherwydd dw i’n angerddol dros gynrychioli chi.
Fel person ifanc sy’n byw yng Nghymru, dw i’n deall popeth am fywyd yma. Nid yn unig ydw i’n angerddol am fy materion, dw i wedi byw nhw. Yn enwedig iechyd meddwl, problem sy’n effeithio ar fy ardal leol. Dw i’n deall sut beth yw dioddef drwy deimlo cywilydd yn defnyddio cymorth iechyd meddwl, neu eistedd ar restrau aros am fisoedd. Mae hi’n amser cydnabod hyn a gwneud ymdrech i gefnogi pobl ifanc ar draws y wlad. Mater arall sy’n bwysig iawn i ni yw addysg. Mae lefelau llythrennedd Cymru yn is nag erioed – mae hyn yn annheg i chi. Does yr un person ifanc yn haeddu cyfyngiadau oherwydd ble mae’n byw. Rydych chi’n haeddu mynd ar ôl eich uchelgeisiau, bod yn falch o’ch treftadaeth, a gwybod bod sedd i chi yn Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru sydd ar gadw ar gyfer eich barn chi. Os ydw i’n ymgeisydd, rydych chi’n ymgeisydd. Fy sedd i yw’ch sedd chi. Pleidleisiwch drosof fi.
