![“[Building nerf blasters] became this outlet of creativity for me that hasn't been matched by anything else. The process [of] making a build complete to your desire is such a painstakingly difficult process, but I've had to learn from [the skills needed from] soldering to proper painting. There's so many different options for everything, if you think about it, it exists. The best part is [that] if it doesn't exist, you can build it yourself," Ishaan Parate said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/DSC_8149-900x604.jpg)
![“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 it's played such a major role in who I've 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 I'm [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)
![“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)
![“My slogan is ‘slow feet, don’t eat, and I’m hungry.’ You need to run fast to get where you are–you aren't going to get those championships if you aren't 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)
![“[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)
![“I'm 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 there's a lot of people that are really confident in what they do, and I really admire them. Everyone's 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)
![“One of the most important things that one can do is using what you have to do real good,” Deven said. “In helping [someone] or in achieving X, Y and Z, it's not about, ‘It's going to make me more famous or it's going to make me more money.’ It's more, ‘Is this going to actually make a difference?’” Deven Parikh (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/DevenParikh_NicholasWei_HoHPhoto-675x900.jpg)
![“I don't think I've ever been pushed more in a role than I had for [Marvin's Room] because not only was I in every single scene, I was majorly featured in every single scene. It was a character who’s so different from me, in every single way that I really had to get more creative about how I portrayed her. After I did that role, I fell into this mindset of, ‘Okay, I'm an actor now’ because before I really saw myself as a singer who acts sometimes,” Vaishnavi Murari (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/VaishnaviMurari_ShreyaSrinivasan_HoHPhoto-e1619191881603-773x900.jpg)
![“Everything I do, I do it because I really love it. And I really wish other people could also see the joy and sublimity that I find in some disciplines, like math [and] biology. [I want to] help show students who are not as interested in those activities, the power and beauty of sciences,” Sidra Xu (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/SidraXu_SallyZhu_HoHPhoto-900x600.jpg)
![“Everyone has a different story. In a café, I’ll imagine everyone’s life as a story floating above their head, like a bubble. I go to places where I'd talk to people that I don't otherwise meet. I like to give little compliments because they always make [people’s] days so much better, and that will usually start a conversation. Even if it's a five-minute interaction, there's so much you can learn and so much that you can take away from it,” Hari Bhimaraju (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/HariBhimaraju_AnoushkaBuch_HoHPhoto-550x900.jpg)
![“I hope people will be a lot more accepting of any genre of music. As the Eastern [and] Western worlds overlap with each other, it's inevitable that their cultural exports will also intermingle. It's up to us to accept that these genres of music do in fact exist and are in fact valid. It's really nice for me, as an East Asian person, to see other East Asian people become more represented in the media,” Audrey Liu (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/AudreyLiu_NilishaBaid_HoHPhoto-900x599.png)
