    Even though high school can be daunting at Harker, don’t be afraid, and go out and do what you want to do. I was scared to try things at first: I didn’t try out for the DECA leadership team, I didn’t play football, and I didn’t hang out with the people that I wanted to hang out with.

    “Journalism really helped me with people skills. I [also] got to take photos and meet a lot of my closest friends in journalism that I dont think we would have otherwise. Photographing and capturing a lot of peoples memories and being able to provide people with those pictures feels super special,” Smrithi Sambamurthy  (12) said.

    “When you learn how to learn, its not only in athletics, not only in school, not only in your social life: it applies to everything because its the process of learning how to learn and figuring out how you learn. You learn when youre intentional about the work that you do, when you put effort into the work and are mindful about doing the right things, Sydney Adler (12) said.
    Humans of Harker: Splash of spirit
    Even though high school can be daunting at Harker, don’t be afraid, and go out and do what you want to do. I was scared to try things at first: I didn’t try out for the DECA leadership team, I didn’t play football, and I didn’t hang out with the people that I wanted to hang out with. There’s a lot of things that I didn’t do because I was scared, and it took a pandemic for that to change for me. Don’t make that mistake. If you fall down, you’ll be able to get yourself back up, Rohan Gorti (23) said.

    I was running through some of my lessons with my teachers, and I asked them, When does somebody stop taking lessons? When will somebody stop trying to explore music? They responded, When it stops being fun, Vishal Rohra (23) said.
    Humans of Harker: Composed of compassion
    “My favorite part of computer science is having the ability to create solutions. Computer science is a very complicated subject, so trying to navigate and combine concepts to create solutions. Computer science taught me how to learn on my own or find solutions on my own because its very complex,” Benjamin Tian (23) said.

    “[Building nerf blasters] became this outlet of creativity for me that hasnt been matched by anything else. The process [of] making a build complete to your desire is such a painstakingly difficult process, but Ive had to learn from [the skills needed from] soldering to proper painting. Theres so many different options for everything, if you think about it, it exists. The best part is [that] if it doesnt exist, you can build it yourself, Ishaan Parate said.
    Humans of Harker: Blast of creativity
    Every single person Ive interviewed for Humans of Harker has said one killer quote that has stuck with me even through four years of high school, and I think I really do internalize those messages. There are nuances in every single persons experience that makes it unique to them and also makes it a good lesson for everyone else. Its just amazing to see how much wisdom every single person at Harker has, and its fascinating to learn about those stories, Erica Cai (22) said.
    Humans of Harker: Harmony in humanity
    “Something I took away from baseball is that theres always the opportunity to bounce back when things dont go particularly right. Even the best hitters only go one for three, so being able to push through that is one of the most important parts of the game. Being able to identify what goes wrong and learning from that is important to being able to find success in the future, Mark Hu (22) said.

    “Animation just clicked in a way. I had been interested in art, but that felt different. [Animation] felt like it had something behind it, whereas previous things felt surface level.

    Its been obviously rough, turning on the news and seeing another death, seeing another acquittal every single time … but, ‘How much can I do?’ is the question Im asking myself. ‘How much can I help, and what impact can I have?’” Brian Pinkston (21) said.
    Humans of Harker: For the future and the present
    “When I came into high school, I was ready to be a follower. But DECA was a game changer for me. It helped me overcome my fear of public speaking, and its played such a major role in who Ive become today. To be able to successfully lead a chapter of 150 students, an officer team and be one of the upperclassmen I once really admired is something Im [really] proud of,” Anvitha Tummala (21) said.

    “I feel really good about myself when Im relaxed and enjoying the world. There’s so much to learn about the world and so many ways to do so, Daniel Wang (21) said.
    Humans of Harker: Mapping the unknown
    “I always try to do things in a different way. Maybe that’s me trying to be experimental, that experimental side from performing arts where you play with different things, find out what’s best. In any sort of situation, I’m always trying to do something unique. During projects and presentations, I always try to be funny and add humor, which helps me stand out in different classes,” Benjamin Soraire (21) said.
    Humans of Harker: Curtain call
    “[Volleyball has] taught me how to fall correctly, and another thing it taught is that you don’t have to be the best at something to be good at it. If you just hit the ball in a smart way, then it still scores points and you’re good at it. You could be a background player and still make a much bigger impact on the team than you would think,” Anya Gert (’20) said.
    Humans of Harker: Learning to fall
    “You just have to go for it. You think, In the future, if I think back and regret it, is that how I want to end up — or would I rather just try something and see what happens? Usually, it turns out well,” Montek Kalsi (’20) said. 
    Humans of Harker: All fun and games
    “Im not nearly there yet, but [my confidence has] definitely been getting better since I was pretty shy and timid coming into Harker my freshman year. I know that theres a lot of people that are really confident in what they do, and I really admire them. Everyones so driven and that has really pushed me to kind of try to find my own place in high school and be more confident,” Alyssa Huang (’20) said.

    I don’t ever intend on letting the internal love of life that I have leave me. As I grow up and I maintain my love for the random things I do, I know I’ll be happy– and hopefully people around me will be, as well, Mathew Mammen (19) said.

    The more serious side, people will never see. Youll never see whos behind one of these websites that people may be using, Neil Ramaswamy (12) said. Several freshmen have approached me like, hey, youre the really funny guy at school meeting and Im like hey, yeah, nice to meet you and at the same time they might be using an application that Ive written not knowing that its me. I kind of get that personal satisfaction knowing that there is a serious side to me, you just dont know about it.

    “150 years ago, no one even dreamt of making a car or what they could be. But someone out there just asked, ‘Why can’t we move on an engine instead of horses?’ or ‘Why isn’t there an easier solution?’ and like that, someone just created a feat of engineering that is still used today. It’s fascinating to see how such brilliant inventions stem from simple curiosity and questioning,” Suraj Pakala (19) said.
    Humans of Harker: Curiosity beyond bounds
    “I can be serious, and I care a lot about a lot of things, but I also just like having fun and people feeling comfortable being their true selves,” Isabella Spradlin (12) said. “You dont have to be one-sided — you can have different sides of your personality, and different moods.”
    Humans of Harker: Isabella Spradlin gleans insight from sisterhood
    “This is like a melting pot of Cupertino, Lynbrook, Saratoga, some people from De Anza, so you meet all kinds of people,” Rahul Mehta (12) said. “Half the time I’m not even playing with my friends, so I’m playing with random people. You start off in the beginning a bit wary of each other, and then by end you’re playing like they’re your friends. It’s kind of gradual. Like after a really cool play, you’ll high five each other, and that’s how it all begins.”
    Humans of Harker: Rahul Mehta befriends others through banter
    People are always debating, you know, ‘should I go up to a higher weight or not?’ And I’ll just yell, ‘do it, you won’t,’ Tiffany Shou (12) said. And then, you know, it’s like that challenge, and so it always pushes them pick that higher weight, and then they can accomplish it, so it’s even more gratifying.
    Humans of Harker Video: Tiffany Shou pushes her limits in the weight room
    “First, I start at my house,” Sparsh Chauhan (12) said. “Then, I turn on Saratoga, and it’s always crowded with traffic and stuff. That’s when I’m setting the music, checking the tire pressure, the gas. After downtown, the road gets smooth, which is when I put the windows down. I go all the way down until there’s a dip and then I go back. Even when I have stuff to do, I drive that same route every day. I don’t have to take directions. I know all the traffic times; I know exactly where I’m going.”
    Humans of Harker: Sparsh Chauhan takes pride in his work
    “My slogan is ‘slow feet, don’t eat, and I’m hungry.’ You need to run fast to get where you are–you arent going to get those championships if you arent fast,” Angel Cervantes (12) said. “I want to do well in school on my tests and in track and win championships for my team. I live by that, [and] I can do that anywhere: in the classroom or on the field.”
    Humans of Harker: Angel Cervantes chases his goals
    “Even when its the 15th time youve done the scene, its still a new experience and therere still new things to be discovered,” Maxwell Woehrmann (12) said. “You can always strive for better during rehearsal and finally when it comes to the show, just a seconds before I go on stage. Thats why I do theater, its for the seconds before I go on stage because I feel very alive. Youre so aware. Youre full of adrenaline. Your fight or flight response is kicking in, and youre about to go on stage and cannot forget your lines. Its very intense and Ive learned to kind of crave the anxiety that comes with performing.”
    Humans of Harker: Maxwell Woehrmann acts incisively
    “I think getting up in the morning and having a sense of purpose [is exciting]. I think without a certain amount of drive, life is kind of obsolete and mundane, and I think having that every single day is what makes each day unique and kind of makes life exciting,” Neymika Jain (12) said.
    Humans of Harker: Neymika Jain finds balance in life
    “A lot of the time, when I’m out at nail salons, nailers ask me if I‘m Vietnamese. I say yes, but they say that I don’t speak the language and have never been back to Vietnamese, so am I really? I always felt disconnected, like I would be Vietnamese-American but never Vietnamese. When I went to Vietnam for the first time, it brought me closer to my culture. I realized I shouldn’t view myself as a different. I have to see Vietnamese-American and Vietnamese as one and the same, Haley Tran (12) said.
    Humans of Harker: Haley Tran values her cultural identity
    “One time, I was hiking up this giant off-trail path, and this is going to make me sound like a complete hippy, but what I was thinking at the moment was that every single tree out there must have had some sort of backstory. Even when I was walking to Shah, there was this tree right next to the building, and I was like, ‘Maybe this tree had a lot of other tree friends, but then this building came up and they had to get cut down.’ That made me pretty sad. So, when I was coming up with backstories for trees, it reminded me of my childlike innocence of playing pretend or playing with my stuffed animals because I thought my imagination would never run as wild as it once did. But, this experience made me feel happy because it’s something that I’ve lost, and I feel like I gained some of it back, Aashish Jain (12) said.

    “For me, robotics has always been a great way to learn about how to build things and how things work. Honestly, that is the reason why I love robotics. When you see everything working, you look at it and say I helped make this happen, which is really really gratifying, Andrew Tierno (12) said.
    Humans of Harker: Andrew Tierno reflects on his passion for robotics
    “A lot of being a choreographer is about digging deep, understanding, and finding out which event leads to the next, which is basically what science is. You would take a circuit and break it apart to understand each of the components, and you would do that to a song,” Sneha Bhetanabhotla (‘17) said.

    “Corrie ten Boom once said, ‘When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away your ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.’ When I feel like life’s got me backed up against a wall, I do get stressed out. But, the basis of my eventual recover is that I know God loves me. I know his plan may have a lot of detours, but I know he has one for me and everyone else. I believe in Catholicism, but no matter what you believe it, if you believe in something, don’t be afraid to practice that belief. Don’t be afraid to tell people about your beliefs and passions because why not express to someone else what is most important to you?” Alex Youn (’17) said.
