By Maggie Foight Being innovative is not easy. One would have to discover new ideas that are never thought of before and present them to a world that does not look kindly on unknown concepts. However, a junior at Wilson High School is planning to pave the way to future successes by overcoming today’s inventors’ ironic hurdle: their resistance to new advancements. Kyle Degler, so far, has piloted only a few educational programs dealing with technology. He worked on a hovercraft in middle school that forced him to work on his own. He battled issues and complications as they came up, leading him to discover his passion for improving what is already created.
“Having to think outside of the box and learning to solve complex problems helped prepare me for high school,” Degler says. “I like figuring out how things work and improving upon efficiency and design.” Degler says he has an idea on how to use his knowledge of complex issues and his interest in efficiency to improve life as we know it. “I plan to attend medical school to become a surgeon utilizing the best in the latest technology,” he says. “As a doctor, I plan on keeping informed of new technology so that I can remain on the cutting edge and be able to utilize [it] to provide my patients with the best care.” Degler, by using up-to-date equipment, will hopefully be able to operate on patients with more confidence, achieving a higher success rate than that of surgeons at this point in time. Of course, entering the medical field will not only require confidence but time and effort, so Degler is already preparing himself for the challenge. “Through college visits, I learned robots will play a larger part in the assistance of surgery. Technological advancements will not only be found in the operating room and doctor's offices but will also be increasingly more available to all colleges,” he adds. With the number of surgeries slowly on the rise, another surgeon would surely help in the fight against various conditions. Kyle Degler, only a junior at Wilson High School, is ready to join in and improve the way surgeries are performed.
