I would make sure that young people are taught about finances while they are at school. When they leave school or college they will get a job and need to manage their money, pay bills and be self-sufficient, but no one actually tells young people how to do this.

I would lessen the pressure schools and colleges put on students in making career choices and instead help students find their passions and pursue them. Young people are under so much pressure to make the right decisions that they often forget about, or put aside their true passions.

I didn't notice anything was wrong until February 2010, when I found a lump under my arm. I wasn't concerned, even though I had lost weight and felt tired. My GP told me I was just a tired teenager.

I did not like school very much. For some reason, I had to work harder than everyone in my class. I had some tests and I found out that I am dyslexic. I did not really understand what that meant.

The first thing I'd do would be to change the interior system of the UN. I'd no longer allow the permanent security council members - Russia, China, US, UK and France - to always have a veto power.

Homework is basically extra work that teachers set to "help" children learn but to children it is torture. Children believe that homework is irrelevant because the work we do at home we cover at school anyway. When it comes to homework, children and adults clash.

Since I gained my Mayor's Music Scholarship through Tower Hamlets arts and music education service, I've been treated like I'm special. At school, we're only allowed to play one instrument, but because of my scholarship, I was an exception and allowed to play two instruments - the cello and trumpet - because I played them both in primary school.
