Letters: A good example for Congress
Re “Standout student honored,” Sept. 24
Brendan Kutler is the type of person we need in these times. He thought of others, not just himself. His parents must be so proud of him and all he accomplished in his short life; I am proud just reading about him.
Our lawmakers should take note of what he did and said. By sharing his class notes on the Internet before tests, he selflessly helped other students. According to his mother, Kutler reasoned that “it wasn’t important how he did on the test but how everyone did on it.”
We need to help one another, just as Kutler did. We need to stop obstructing bills that would promote the common good only because they don’t come from our own party.
