![Setter Emma Lee (9) sets the ball to the middle during the match against Pinewood on Sept. 12. â[Iâm 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)
![â[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)
![âAnimation 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 wasn't 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)
![âWhen 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,â Anvitha Tummala ('21) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Screen-Shot-2021-07-25-at-9.50.05-AM-900x594.png)
![â[Volleyball has] taught me how to fall correctly, and another thing it taught is that you donât 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 youâre good at it. You could be a background player and still make a much bigger impact on the team than you would think,â Anya Gert (â20) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AnnaGert_JinTuan_HoHPhotoEdited-600x900.jpeg)
![âI'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,â Alyssa Huang (â20) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AlyssaHuang_EmilyChen_HoHPhoto-900x749.jpeg)
![âMy slogan is âslow feet, donât eat, and Iâm hungry.â You need to run fast to get where you areâyou aren't going to get those championships if you aren't fast,â Angel Cervantes (12) said. âI 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.â](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC5146-900x601.jpg)
![âI 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,â Neymika Jain (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Screen-Shot-2017-06-03-at-4.54.16-PM.png)
![Isabelle Niu (9) watches as Eliana Chui (9) stacks a wood block during a Jenga game outside Manzanita on Wednesday. âI saw that people were really engaged, laughing [and] taking photos with their friends while eating candy, so I think [Jenga] was successful overall and definitely helped make peoplesâ days better,â HSLT Representative Hannah Jeon (10) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/20231004-SpiritWeekDay3-CharlieW-1-2-1200x769.jpg)
