--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
I am interested and passionate about
anti-racism, anti-bullying and equality. These issues are important
to me because it's all about bringing the community together. Equality
is the most important to me because I feel as teenagers we need
to respect our elders but they need to respect us to, without discrimination
or prejudice because of our age.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
Bullying in its many forms. There
is physical (the most obvious) and there is mental (the least obvious).
This bullying can be in different ways too. Racism and discrimination/prejudice.
I have been bullied myself so I know what it feels like and that
is what has made me even more passionate about anti-bullying.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I would like to make people aware
in my constituency about the UK Youth Parliament. Some people don't
know it exists and they don't know they have someone to talk to
if they have a problem. Also I would like to make young adults more
interested in getting involved with politics.
What is your future career ambition?
I am not completely sure what I want
to be just yet but I would like to be a Solicitor/Lawyer with my
business. This way I can put something back into the community.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
Bob Geldof, and other charity workers
which give their own time. I think that what he has done for some
countries is amazing.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
You have given us voices now will
you please listen to them? Don't make us empty promises.
