Your interests harmed?

Letters to MP (12/9, 25/10)

Chris Lucas' reply (13/4)

David Cameron's reply (1/5)

Done for you:

Autumn: 6 months in post, I am now more focussed on college/uni fees and gym vouchers to students. Arranging a petition accordingly, e.g. discussing with Ealing MPs (got a disappointing reply from David Willetts, the Minister of State for Universities and Science) and students. Meeting with Boris Johnson, Mayor of London in mid-Nov. You like the new "Your interests harmed" section?

Spring: Disappointed with David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg and all existing MPs and Ealing MP candidates for their poor responses to my £50m spending proposal (opposite).

Ongoing: I gave a presentation to a Chinese community (CIAC) in August, interviews to Ealing Gazette in March 2010, and to BBC London and BBC Chinese in April 2010 to spread our messages of youth priorities. I attended regional MYP meetings to lobby for support for delivering my manifesto.

What I like and I have done

I lovvvve music, movies and dramas. Currently I like SpongeBob SquarePants, Black Eyed Peas, Vampire Weekend, Mitchel Musso, Misfits, Skins, Heros and 90210.

I love travelling. I have been to France (Paris, Reims, Parc National des Cevennes, Lourdes, Bordeaux), Barcelona, Switzerland (Engelberg), Germany (River Rhine), Southern China, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore. I really want to go to California and Canada.

I like reading and writing. I received the Young Writers Creativity Award 2009 for writing "The Coolest Party Ever" which will be published in a Young Writers' anthology. Here is what I wrote:

I walked blindfolded by my mum.

I walked for a long time then the doors opened

and all my friends were there!

Everything was perfect,

even my boyfriend was there! That was the best!

I like football and swimming (inspired by Tom Daley). I received the Most Improved Football Player award in 2009.

I did some voluntary work, such as recycling for my school, gardening for Ealing Abbey. I participate in Ealing Youth Action's activities and other debates about youth issues. I was lucky to have earned some pocket money for modelling for Madame Tussards and looking after a neighbour's pet.

I attended the Climate Change Conference in London on 15 January 2010.
