CANDIDATE STATEMENT

I am passionate about ensuring a future for the children and young people of Wales, and to do so our generation must have a voice at the heart of politics in Wales. Delivering a prosperous and successful Wales for future generations must include those future voices too. I have good communications skills and I firmly believe that our environment, our health and our language must be prioritised if we are to build a nation that is fair and provides equal opportunities for everyone. By doing so, Wales can be a world leader and can be an example of a nation where there is no injustice. I contribute to the community and the school by volunteering for a number of clubs, such as the local tennis club, where I am a coach, and I do so bilingually. I take part in the school’s musicals, the choir and a range of sports. As a result, I have connections with everyone at the school, so I am well placed to amplify the voices of my contemporaries from all backgrounds across the Vale of Glamorgan.

DATGANIAD YMGEISYDD

Rwy’n angerddol dros sicrhau dyfodol i blant a phobl ifanc Cymru ac i wneud hynny mae angen llais ar ein cenhedlaeth ar brif lwyfan gwleidyddiaeth yng Nghymru. Mae sicrhau Cymru llewyrchus a llwyddianus i’r cenhedlaethau i ddod yn gorfod cynnwys lleisiau’r dyfodol hynny. Mae gen i sgiliau cyfathrebu da a rwy’n credu’n gryf bod angen blaenoriaethu ein hamgylchedd, ein hiechyd a’n hiaith os am sicrhau cenedl sy’n deg ac yn rhoi cyfle cyfartal i bawb. Drwy wneud hyn gall Cymru arwain y byd a chreu esiampl o wlad lle nad oes anghyfiawnder. Rwy’n cyfrannu i’r gymuned ac i’r ysgol drwy wyrffoddoli mewn amryw o glybiau megus hyfforddi tenis yn y clwb lleol a hynny yn ddwy ieithog. Rwy’n cymryd rhan mewn sioeau gerdd yr ysgol, y cor ac amryw o chwareon. O ganlyniad, mae gen I gysylltiadau a phawb yn yr ysgol felly bydd modd i mi fynegi llesiau fy nghyfoedion ifanc o bob math o gefndir ar draws Bro Morgannwg.
