“The vibe of learning a new song is great, and the work ethic used in learning it is a good trait for life,” described Austin Crum, a Worthington Christian Sophomore on his motivation to play the guitar. Austin was born in Ohio and has lived here his whole life with his two older brothers and parents. He used to be in the Big Walnut school district until transferring to WC this year because his parents wanted a Christian environment for him. He says that transferring from a large public school to a school of only 360 people hasn’t been much of a challenge, it’s really just tricky getting used to having to wear a uniform. He also says that one thing he likes about WC compared to Big Walnut is that although no one really wants to go to school, everyone at WC is “ok” with it, where as the students attitudes at his old school didn’t like any of school. Austin let me know of his favorite subjects in school saying, “I like English and History because they go hand in hand and English is passed down throughout our history and tells of our past generations while giving us freedom of expression.”
When he isn’t at school he enjoys playing basketball, golf, video games, and has a deep passion for the guitar. He first got into the guitar around three years ago because most of his family plays and therefore he naturally had the interest to play. When Austin is playing on one of his five guitars he usually can be heard playing rock, blues, old country, or alternative. He listens to this because they flow so well with the guitar and is what he enjoys listening to. Austin enjoys listening to, “Jimmy Hendricks or Paul McCartney because of how inspirational they were and the great songs they made. Jimmy Hendricks also pushed boundaries and was innovative in the music industry.”
