Name:
Grace Mashonganyika
Status: MYP
Constituency:
Bedfordshire

--------------------------------------------------------

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am concerned about the way government's can have a negative impact on people. For example, people in Africa are living a miserable life because of government mistakes and corruption. I am also interested in how teenagers are communicating and how they get to know each other and socialise because this is one of the solutions that prevents young people suffering from loneliness.

What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency?

From the young people I have talked to so far, lack of communication between young people is a big issue. Young people need help on how they can socialise. Other young people have been complaining about transport issues.

What do you hope to achieve during your term of office?

I am going to visit a school and talk about racism. Being an MYP was a great opportunity for me but the youth workers I am working with so far have not done much to assist me. As a new young person in the country it's hard to get to know other young people but if I had help from the youth workers I would try and talk to young people and get to know their views. I will also work on the transport issues because it's a big concern.

What is your future career ambition?

My future career ambition is to do something political, like try and solve the situations in Africa and Asia about world poverty and fair trade.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I mostly admire Condoleeza Rice because she is a woman of true voice and she is confident just like me!

If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be?

I would love the government to try and help those children who are wrecking their lives taking drugs, being prostitutes and doing criminal activities, because they could be the presidents of tomorrow but they need the government to help an encourage them.
