Senior Max Urlik started high school like most kids, quiet, shy and kept to himself. As he went through high school, he’s become a well-known student around his community. As he works his way up to being an artillery officer, he works every day to make sure the ones closest to him are safe and happy. Urlik strives to always be there for his loved ones, even when they don’t ask. He’s a former junior league football player, and he played for the Mavericks and Raptors.
Similar to other his age, Max finds interest in playing video games and listening to music. Max loves to listen to rappers like Travis Scott. He loves to rock the emo style. Max worked at Terror in Corn as an animatronic operator this year; last year he was the “bath boy” in the bathhouse.
“I’ve been working terror in the corn for about 2 seasons now and last season was such a blast, hiding behind a curtain that did look like it opens and sitting in a dirty tub scary people was the best part of it, the process of getting into costume and makeup is also pretty fun, along with getting to meet new people every season and getting new roles.”
Growing up in a home of two moms, he’s learned what he wants most in life and to treat and value others as he’d want to be. In the far future, he’s hoping to live on a small farm with many animals, such as a herd of dogs and barn cats, horses, and chickens, somewhere maybe close to a beachside. “My favorite part of high school was hanging out with friends and meeting new people.” Max is a very talkative person and doesn’t mind meeting new people; last year he met one of his closest friends working at Terror in the Corn.
Although he didn’t continue football or any other sports, he did, however, like the police academy class as well as Mrs. Bowes forensics class. “I liked how interactive Police Academy was, and Mrs. Bowes class was fun even when the assignments were hard.”
While he finishes high school, Max hopes to leave school with the friends he’s made along the way. He’s made many memories throughout high school and will continue to make more memories. Urlik said “The growth I’ve made as a person during these years of high school; I’m more than the person I was in ninth grade, and I’m grateful for the experiences that led me here.”
