![Setter Emma Lee (9) sets the ball to the middle during the match against Pinewood on Sept. 12. “[I’m looking forward to] getting more skilled, learning more about my position and also becoming better friends with all of my teammates, Emma said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/DSC_4917-2-1200x795.jpg)
![“[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.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/DSC_8149-900x604.jpg)
![“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. I wasnt making that crazy of things, but just the process of doing it was much more enjoyable, Carter Chadwick (22) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-16-at-9.44.08-AM-900x598.png)
![“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.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Screen-Shot-2021-07-25-at-9.50.05-AM-900x594.png)
![“[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.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AnnaGert_JinTuan_HoHPhotoEdited-600x900.jpeg)
![“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.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AlyssaHuang_EmilyChen_HoHPhoto-900x749.jpeg)
![“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.”](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC5146-900x601.jpg)
![“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.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Screen-Shot-2017-06-03-at-4.54.16-PM.png)
![“I love trying new things. I’m always bored with my life, so I try to challenge myself. What I most remember from my experiences are the relationships I form along the way. I’ve been exposed to a broad array of personalities and backgrounds, [which allows] me to create lasting relationships in the process,” Charlotte Blanc (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/CharlotteBlanc_AnoushkaBuch_HoHPhoto-e1579043438118-600x900.jpg)
![“The way the worlds working right now and the way technology is advancing, it’s really important to connect [technology] to social issues, especially with the ubiquitous use...nowadays. If you dont connect [technology] to social studies such as psychology or sociology, you miss out on a big impact to change the world or improve the world,” Vibha Arramreddy (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/VibhaArramreddy_NilishaBaid_HoHPhoto-900x600.jpg)
![“[Leading robotics] has been just like the same attitude Ive approached everything [with] recently. It’s taught me that most people dont actually know what theyre doing, and its the people that are willing to admit that they dont know what theyre doing and try to learn that do the best,” Sanjay Rajasekharan (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/SanjayRajasekharan_IrinaMalyugina_HoHPhoto-900x628.png)
![“[Im] never going to let myself go out of control to the point where I feel horrible... thats why I went to Mount Whitney because I needed to prove to myself [that even though] I have this chronic autoimmune disease, its not going to stop me from doing amazing things,” Jasmine Wiese (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/JasmineWiese_SarahMohammed_LaurenLiu_HoHPhoto-900x600.jpg)
