Emily was a Member of the first
Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was her candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My Key Issues are:
Mental health of students.
Religious and Racial discrimination.
Education on life skills.
I want to be a youth parliament
member for many reasons. I want to make a difference, and help build a better
future for everyone around me. I want to see people stop believing they're too
young or powerless to make a change. A lot of things need to, and I am willing
to put in the effort needed to make it happen.
I will consult with young
people by spreading the word through social media and visits through the school
community to other schools. The skills I have that make me good for this role
is my reliability, confidence, team working skills, hardworking nature,
honesty, readiness for a challenge and patience. I am a prefect, was a form
captain and representative for school council for 3 years and an active member
within the local community and school.
Someone should vote for me
because I am willing to be the person to listen and confront your problems and
worries head-on to make Wales a better place for us all to live in.
