My desire to join the Welsh Youth Parliament stems from my work experience with Plaid Cymru party leader Rhun Ap Iorwerth,which has provided me an insight into the process of Welsh politics and the concerns that local people face.I’d represent young people in my community by engaging with them to get input and opinions, and would work tirelessly to raise awareness of youth-related issues to amplify their concerns. My desire to advocate for the Welsh Senedd would ensure that children's’ rights are upheld and advances are made. I acknowledge the issues surrounding housing, education and transport. I have encountered these issues through my A-level subjects but also through experiences I have, for example I'm experienced in advising The Children's Commissioner for Wales on the issues of public transport and its effects on children's education and the high number of children in temporary or poor quality housing. I believe the experiences above make me a suitable candidate for the role.
Mae fy awydd i ymuno â Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru yn deillio o fy mhrofiad gwaith gydag arweinydd Plaid Cymru, Rhun ap Iorwerth, sydd wedi rhoi cipolwg i mi ar broses gwleidyddiaeth Cymru a'r pryderon sy'n wynebu pobl leol. Byddwn yn cynrychioli pobl ifanc yn fy nghymuned drwy ymgysylltu â nhw i gael mewnbwn a barn, a byddwn yn gweithio'n ddiflino i godi ymwybyddiaeth o faterion sy'n ymwneud ag ieuenctid i chwyddo eu pryderon. Byddai fy awydd i eiriol dros Senedd Cymru yn sicrhau bod hawliau plant yn cael eu cynnal a bod datblygiadau yn cael eu gwneud. Rwy'n cydnabod y materion sy'n ymwneud â thai, addysg a thrafnidiaeth. Rwyf wedi dod ar draws y materion hyn trwy fy mhynciau Safon Uwch ond hefyd trwy brofiadau sydd gennyf, er enghraifft rwyf yn brofiadol wrth gynghori Comisiynydd Plant Cymru ar faterion trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus a'i effeithiau ar addysg plant a'r nifer uchel o blant mewn tai dros dro neu o ansawdd gwael. Rwy'n credu bod y profiadau uchod yn fy ngwneud yn ymgeisydd addas ar gyfer y rôl.
