Humans of Harker: Learning the universe through color and dimension
![“All the stories present, in a way, different views of the world. And to some extent, they're all true. They're all just looking at different parts of life and the world. I think for most of my life, [reading stories] has been a way to explore the world and explore things that I otherwise would never know about,” Pascal Han (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/PascalHan_SarahMohammed_HoHPhoto-675x900.jpeg)

![“[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)

![Wearing a Ralph Lauren suit in his signature campaign color of navy blue, Joseph R. Biden, Jr. stood today in front of the Capitol where, just two weeks ago, protestors violently stormed the Capitol building. Facing a limited crowd and a sea of American flags on the National Mall, Biden delivered some of his first words as the 46th president of the United States: “This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day.”
Just hours after he and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in at the inauguration ceremony on Wednesday, President Biden signed over 17 executive orders that dismantled policies central to former President Trump’s legacy, including rejoining the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement as well as other executive orders on student debt and the border wall.
“What I’m most hopeful [for] is a change in tone and a sense of working on a common problem, the coronavirus [pan]demic, and addressing those problems. Just a more positive tone, and a sense of, we’re doing it, we’re working on it,” upper school history teacher Byron Stevens said.
Harris made history by becoming the first woman, first Black person and first person of Asian descent to hold national office as vice president.
