Article #4 Profile Final
Max Sickenberger is a Sophomore that plays in the Morningside Mustang’s soccer team and is clearly appreciated within the team.
“I love Max. He always gives a 100% and never has a day where he is turned off,” teammate, and roommate, Jurre Thielen said about him.
Much like many other teammates, Max left his home country Germany to travel across the world to start his own adventure. Max not only decided to study abroad because of the unique possibility to combine sports and academics here, but also to do his other hobby of travelling the world.
Whereas many people just love travelling, Max had a background story on where his passion for travelling began.
“My grandparents had a big impact of me. They took me to the USA and South Africa when I was young where I found my love for travelling,” Max said.
Max is a sports fanatic, which is why it does not come as a surprise that his other hobbies of him besides the obvious of playing soccer, include skiing and working out.
Niklas Gruener, a close friend of Max and a fellow German, was asked to describe Max in three words where he used funny, sarcastic, and honest.
“No matter when, there is always something to laugh about with him and sarcastic because when he says something, you never know if it is a joke or if it is serious,” Niklas said about why he chose these words and continued on why he chose honesty, “After games I would always go to him to ask how I played because he is one of the only ones that always gives me an honest answer.”
Rodrigo Della Giustina Pereira, Max’s roommate from last year who now lives back in Brazil, also got asked to describe Max. Whereas he stated that Max is definitely not the most organized roommate, he still misses living together with him.
“I don’t have any bad things to say about Max. He was the best roommate I could have ever asked for and I really miss this guy,” Rodrigo said.
Max also got asked to talk about his dream while growing up. He started off by saying that his dream was different than other kid’s dreams whilst growing up. He said that he had always dreamed of winning a lot of money in the lottery so he would not have to work.
“I would still not mind if this happened now,” Max concluded joking.
