MYP Profiles 2006

I feel that the biggest issue for young people in Wigan is the lack of facilities and the price it cost to enjoy these facilities. I feel that if there were more facilities in Wigan with a cheaper price range more people would be able to enjoy the facilities. This would help young people feel safer because they would have somewhere to go they wouldn't have to hang around on the streets.

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

I would like to get more people aware of what UKYP is all about, and hear people's views and opinions on different issues. Also I want to get to know other MYPs & DMYPs. Last but not least I want to try and get involved with as many things as possible through UKYP.

What is your future career ambition?

At the moment I am not too sure. I have a few interests in what career I would like to have. Therefore I feel it is not the right time for me to decide!

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I have to say that I think Nelson Mandela is a fantastic public figure because of his determination. He never compromised to gain freedom when he was in jail and he still set out to achieve his goal after he was released.

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

I think it would be extremely beneficial for the government to take some time to listen to what young people have to say. The reason I think this is because young people have good ideas and it is a disgrace if these ideas are never heard. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THE NEXT GENERATION!
