Humans of East Stream: Max

Eoin- Hello, how are you?

Max- I’m good.

Eoin- What is your name?

Max- Um, Max Harris.

Eoin- Max Harris, ok. I’m just going to ask you a few questions about your life here.

Max- Alright

Eoin- So, What is your earliest memory?

Max- Um wow, I’m not sure if I have an earliest memory. Like, I definitely have

memories of going to preschool and crying, uh, it was like, this woman who ran a preschool in her house, and it was called, “Sue’s house.”

Eoin- Ok

Max- Um, me and this one kid would go fishing in a pond in the backyard, well, we just stuck sticks in the water, haha, you know, “Fishing, fishing!” But yeah, I have some,... I have a lot of early memories but I don’t know which one would be the earliest.

Eoin- So, what was the most exciting thing you’ve done in your life?

Max- Oh gosh um, what do you mean by exciting? Like dangerous, exciting like, “Yay!”

Eoin- Like, dangerous, important or...

Max- Ok yeah, um, I mean, I, I don’t know, now that I think about it. Most of the things I’ve done are pretty, I guess, average. I have had some memorable experiences, but I wouldn’t say that any of them stuck out in an incredibly exciting way. I have had some dangerous encounters.

Eoin- Ok, what was the happiest moment of your life, and why?

Max- Um, wow. I don’t know, uhhh. I have had a lot of fun moments. I would say that those are happy, but I have not really had the happiest moment because I feel like, at 14, you probably should not have the happiest moment. I feel like that should be something like, your child being born. But, I have had happy moments with my friends, just doing stupid things.
