The political issue that I am most passionate about is the standard of education in our schools. I believe that lessons should be made more interesting and fun. I also think teachers should be more approachable.

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

The biggest issue for young people in my constituency is recruiting more young people, to get more views in the future. But we are discussing raising awareness about my forum.

In my term of office this year I hope to meet new people, find out about other people's views and express my views to influence others.

What is your future career ambition?

I am not to sure on what I want to do in my future career. I would like to help young people to have a voice or teach young people in school. I am taking my options at the moment so it is an important time for me.

The public figure that I most admire is Jane Davidson (Minister of Education and Lifelong Learning). This is because she is trying to help young people for the future.

The message I would send to the government is that young people are not just the future, they are the present and they need to look after us in all aspects of our life.
