I firmly believe in treating all young people equally, valuing them for the content of their minds, not the colour of their skin, their background, or their financial circumstances.
My primary focus as a representative would be to make housing a top priority for Enfield. It is simply unacceptable that children are separated from their families at such a young age, and that young people are forced to live so far from their schools. This situation contributes directly to the mental health struggles faced by many of our peers. We need to ask not just “why” this is happening, but how we can fix it.
I see other serious issues facing young people in our community. The pressure to conform to online images, which results in anxiety, and young persons with a high interest in activities such as vaping. Young people should feel safe, not scrutinized and fearful, walking home from school. These are real problems, and I’m determined to address them. My achievements to date demonstrate my dedication to serving others. As Class President in Year 7, I learned the importance of representing the needs of my peers.
My participation in the Chace Community drama productions allowed me to express my emotions and connect with others through art – I encourage all youth to discover their passions and find healthy outlets for self-expression. As a member of the Enfield Youth Council, I would be a strong voice for the safety and well-being of all children in our borough. I will work effectively with my peers, and I am passionate about eliminating negative feelings such as hatred, jealousy, greed, selfishness, and ignorance. I am committed to building a community where all young people feel valued, supported, and empowered.
