-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? I think I am most passionate about issues to do with university top up fees introduced by the government. I am also interested in 'green' issues including recycling and global warming. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? People in Telford need to get involved. There are a lot of places for them to go but I'm not sure these are publicised enough, so I think it is important to advertise these youth opportunities. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? Working together with the Telford and Wrekin MYP Andrew Wilkins, we have started a campaign to introduce recycling in every school in the borough of Telford and Wrekin. What is your future career ambition? I would like to become a dentist; I know what you're all thinking, why? I think it's an exciting job not involving too much paper work. My other career prospect is possibly becoming a lawyer, which I guess is at the other end of the spectrum! Which public figure do you most admire and why? I'm not sure. I think I admire Nelson Mandela. He was imprisoned for speaking out of turn about the white government of South Africa, yet when he was eventually released he still fought for an end to apartheid. It takes a lot of courage to stand up for what is right even when a majority don't agree. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Young people are the not only the adults of tomorrow but the people of today. The government should being doing more to help young people who live in poverty. In Telford and Wrekin many young people live in rural areas and there is not always adequate transport for them to socialise and use facilities and services which are usually based in towns. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
