Never thought twice about the connection with the last name Harris, but shit, life comes at you fast.

Here's the thing, though: this dude was not just the ultimate alpha, Mr. popular driven academic star athlete who went Ivy League, but he was one of the most humble, kind, and friendly people I ever met growing up. Like even took time out of his busy schedule to mentor/big brother the special needs kids. Class act all the way. Kinda wowed to put it together, but also miffed, you know?

Fuck.

    Nah, I was the kid who wasn't allowed to go paintballing or ice skating with the gang because my parents didn't have $50 to spare.

        It's all good. As a kid I didn't think about it, but all the "popular" kids were rich to throw parties and invite friends to family cabins go or to Mexico on spontaneous senior field trip. It's all part of life.

          Yeah, I went to a school where everyone was more or less as broke as I was, so there was solidarity. it sounds super alienating to be around a bunch of rich kids and be one of the ones that can't afford that same lifestyle.
