I'm Max Bennett, a sophomore at Patrick Henry College studying the Humanities, with specializations in Journalism and Public Policy. He was born in Clearwater, Florida, but has lived in Harrisville and Parkersburg, West Virginia for 16 years. What initially drew me to In Your Shoes was the chance to interact with many individuals with vastly different perspectives. Growing up in rural America did not expose me to much, so I jumped at the chance to enter the project. I hope that by the end of the project the experience will have instilled the practice of emotional understanding of and kind communication with those around me.
