![“I feel like [my diverse extracurriculars has] shaped me as a person. It allowed me to connect [with] a lot of different people [and] meet a lot of new communities. This whole aspect of connection is really important.

![“I dont know exactly what it was. Maybe it was the view, maybe it was the feeling, maybe it was the whole fascination of, ‘Were now 20,000 feet above the earth flying in a tin can, [and] were not dead yet.’ Maybe thats it, Connor Wilcox (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ConnorWilcoxHoH_CarterChadwick-900x600.jpeg)
![“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 cant stand seeing others feeling alone. I understand when people go through stuff — I go through my own stuff. I understand that being sad is okay sometimes, but sometimes that sadness and despair stems from feeling alone ... I want [others] to feel like Im there for them, and I let them know that Im there for them through humor and through being eccentric ... and listening,” Anagha Ram (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/AnaghaRam_LakshmiMulgund_HoHPhoto-e1611624749265-600x900.jpg)
![“[Music] is worth it because its something thats for myself, and its something that I genuinely have found myself to enjoy. Its a great way for me to express my own creativity and explore and learn about myself in the process,” Santoshi Tirumala (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SantoshiTirumala_LakshmiMulgund_HoHPhoto-900x600.jpg)
