A New Perspective

By: Alex Schwier

In life, we all experience hardships. For Brandon Renkin, a sophomore from Gardiner High, his life long struggle with muscular dystrophy affects almost every aspect of his life. For Brandon, what he hopes to achieve through Youth Legislature is an extension of the hunting season for those with handicaps (House Bill 256).
Brandon became interested in Youth Legislature after his history teacher spoke highly of the program. After discussing the program with his mom, he decided Youth Legislature would be a great opportunity to voice his opinion to other people his age.
The idea of Brandon’s bill is one that many of us would not normally stop to consider. We are lucky to have such a unique representative open our eyes to a world many of us don’t understand. Brandon’s unique cause is one that would give opportunities to many of those who love to hunt but cannot coordinate the time to do so with those who assist them.
