Hello. My name is Math and I am 9 years old. I am in Year 4 and I’m on the cricket team at my school. I am a fluent Welsh speaker, and I am a member of the Tŷ Hafan Youth Board.
My big/little brother Nye is older than me but smaller than me. He has severe learning disabilities, is nonverbal and cannot walk, therefore I know a lot about accessibility.
My favourite sports are taekwondo, fencing, rugby, cricket and swimming, and I play guitar and piano. I love to relax (this does not happen very often).
The Youth Board is important to me because I can express the feelings I never thought I could, and I always know where to find a trusted adult. We’ve been on accessibility tours to Cardiff Museum and St. Fagans, and we’re planning to go to the Principality Stadium soon. It’s surprising how many accessibility improvements can be made.
My favourite foods are pizza (fresh from a pizza oven), burgers, chips and fajitas. My brother, on the other hand, enjoys yoghurt.
I love swimming and so does my brother. I love tobogganing, white water rafting, go karting and playing with my friends.
My top favourite books are The Trials of Apollo by Percy Jackson. I like Greek and Roman mythology which makes those books so much more interesting.
