A Bracken County 4-H Member is breaking barriers and doing it through the 4-H Program. Tyler is not your typical neuro-typical child as he has Downs Syndrome. However, this has not stopped Tyler from being a part of the Bracken County 4-H Program. From being involved in livestock club and exhibiting his swine project at the Kentucky State Fair to being a member of our shooting sports program and shooting at the State Shoot. No disability is stopping Tyler from succeeding and participating. Here is what his mom had to say about Tyler going to the State Shoot:
I hope and pray more people look at people like Tyler and give them an opportunity. He surprises me frequently on what he learns and comprehends. His body fails him at times. His anxiety comes out in poor behavior he has the want and passion to be the same as his siblings. And he celebrates EVERY moment he gets. Thanks so much Bracken County 4-H!
