Thinking Outside the Box

            Isaac Myhal is a gifted senior here at Worthington Christian. After attending WC for 8 years, Myhal plans to major in mathematics at Hillsdale College. At Worthington Christian, he has heavily been involved in the arts, including the choir and theatre. Myhal’s favorite performance in the choir was his performance of The Awakening. He has also contributed to 11 theatrical productions his favorite being Godspell. Although Myhal is extremely successful in the arts, his most talented attribute is his ability to think outside the box.

            Myhal has created multiple different computer programs. He created a bible discovery website, a March Madness bracket generator that statistically produces the best possible brackets and a keyboard program that makes typing the Hebrew language easier for new students of the language. Furthermore, Myhal designed a system that allows one to rate their favorite songs. The program then sorts the ratings to make the most relevant playlist to the listener.

            The advice Myhal gave to underclassmen is to put the time in. “I put a ton of time into my projects”, Myhal admitted, “You have time as an underclassman. When you get an idea, jot it down. At some point, you’ll gain motivation to put the pieces together and complete the idea.” Myhal's projects weren’t created overnight. It took months of dedication and failures. “You have to go beyond the boundaries,” Myhal advised, “Do something different from what everyone else is doing regardless of your ability, you must be okay with not knowing it all. You just must take what you’ve got and start working with it.” In the end, Myhal promises you’ll have something valuable.
