I want to become a Welsh Youth Parliament member because I truly believe I can be a voice for Welsh students in Pembrokeshire as I can represent ethnic minorities and offer a unique perspective on embracing diversity. I have experience in representing young people as a prefect in Year 12 and my title as ‘Best Opposer’ in the Rotary Youth Debate demonstrates my aptitude for public speaking and rigorous discourse. Through online portals and google forms available to the schools across the area, I can ensure voices are heard both anonymously and specifically by adapting to the digital age. Reducing the cost and increasing the accessibility of public transport for young people, as well as providing education on financial literacy are my goals to implement a significant influence on young people’s lives across the country. Raising awareness about the dangers of substance abuse, I intend to tackle the root cause; peer pressure and underlying mental health problems.
Dw i eisiau dod yn aelod o Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru oherwydd dw i wir yn credu y gallen i fod yn llais i ddisgyblion Cymraeg yn Sir Benfro oherwydd dw i’n gallu cynrychioli lleiafrifoedd ethnig a chynnig safbwynt unigryw ar groesawu amrywiaeth. Mae gen i brofiad yn cynrychioli pobl ifanc fel Prif Ddisgybl ym Mlwyddyn 12 ac mae fy nheitl fel ‘Gwrthwynebwr Gorau’ yn Nadl Ieuenctid y Rotari yn arddangos fy ngallu wrth siarad yn gyhoeddus a dadlau. Drwy barthau ar-lein a Google Forms ar gael i bob ysgol yn yr ardal, dw i’n gallu gwneud yn siŵr bod lleisiau’n cael eu clywed yn ddienw ac yn benodol drwy addasu’r oedran digidol. Fy uchelgeisiau yw lleihau cost a chynyddu hygyrchedd trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus i bobl ifanc, a gwella addysg ar lythrennedd ariannol er mwyn cael dylanwad sylweddol ar fywydau pobl ifanc ar draws y wlad. Codi ymwybyddiaeth am beryglon camddefnyddio sylweddau, dw i’n bwriadu taclo’r achos gwaelodol; pwysau gan gyd-ddisgyblion a phroblemau iechyd meddwl cefndirol.
