![“[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)
![“Sometimes it can be overwhelming when you hear about the injustices and it can be easy to sit there and feel bad about what's going on. But when you think about an injustice that's happening and you see it [in terms of] taking action on it rather than sitting there in your negative emotions, it can also help you process what's going on and can make you feel more in control of the situation," Elizabeth Fabel (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/elizabethfabelhoh_Emmagao-685x900.jpeg)
![“I wish people would care about others a little bit more. [In] martial arts, I try to teach our students the strength of character and how to become a good person in addition to developing their physical skills; I want to help them grow into better people because that’s what my coaches did for me when I was younger," Andrew Vodinh-Ho (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/AndrewVodinhHo_KatieReed-900x600.jpeg)
![“I can view [art] this [way] and another person based on their unique experience can view it in a completely different way. It’s because we have so many diverse perspectives, that makes art history subjective, but also really enriching because you can always gain new insights from talking to another person and hearing what they have to say about how they view a piece of art," Melody Luo (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/MelodyLuo_EG-613x900.jpeg)
![“People think about debate as some holier than thou activity where two white dudes in suits talk really pompously and get out their points. Debate is high schoolers chugging Red Bulls at 10 p.m. because the tournament doesn't end until midnight, they both smell, [since] they don't have time to shower in the morning, and they probably haven't eaten," Deven Shah (12) said.](https://harkeraquila.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DevenShah_EG-667x900.jpeg)
