Ten Things I loved about My Freshman Year at Harker

Wow! Where to start? Being a freshman at Harker was unbelievable. My adorable friends, my wonderful teachers, the amazing student council moments, the wonderful underclassman memories...There's definitely more than ten things that I truly appreciated...thanks to all of you for making my freshman year the BEST!

1) My Besties! April, Supi, and Jenni: thank you so much for the best memories! Halloween was quite interesting. April and Jenni were dressed in their sheepie costumes and me and supi were people falling asleep as they counted...TWO sheep hehe. Mentos Cart Heifer Squid Cruella SO GOOD! We have quite a fun time thinking up nicknames for special people!



2) Lake Tahoe! That trip was a blast! Snowboard Divas! Good memories, so many perfecto pictures! Twisting my wrist wasn't fun but snowboarding all together without crashing into each other was an accomplishment to be remembered! we missed you though jenni :'(


3) Teachers! Even though they doled out too much homework, it was all for my own good...yes, I just said that..haha. Although physics was a challenge, it is now overcome. :] Thanks so much for all of your care, efforts, and expertise!

4) Debate! What would life be without debate?? POFO pwns! wOOt wOOt! me and sheridan make a killer team! Sacramento NCFL: remember all those winning debates, sher? but we hit our own COACHES..obviously we lost but all in all, it was a great debate trip! too bad I had a fever at the stanford invitational :( but we shall always trust our lucky duckies (ms. green handed them out and ever since then, they've been the symbol of our harker public forum debate team) The Great Debaters was also the best movie ever! I love these lines:

Who is the judge?
The judge is God.
And why is he God?
Because he decides who wins or loses, not my opponent.
Who is your opponent?
He does not exist.
And why does he not exist?
Because he is merely a dissenting voice to the truth I speak.

5) Great America! From getting splashed on the bridge to just talking in the shade, that trip was so much fun :) of course, physics was part of it too...learning all about those fg's and fn's on those roller coasters was truly mind-blowing!

6) Student Council! I have learned so much about high school student council- SO MUCH WORK! haha but it all paid off! class olympics, student council conference Beat the Statistics, and just hanging out with the awesome sophomores, juniors, and seniors! (we miss you seniors!)

7) Lunch! I don't know what I would do if we didn't have those pro Chefs! Sushi, the world's best Caesar salad, yummy pasta, they never let me starve! Thank you so much for the delectable, delicious, delightful food, Harker!

8) Dances! Dress-shopping, doing our hair, makeovers - - getting ready for Harker dances! Thisit has the cutest apparel ever. Curling our hair wasn't exactly a successful venture (Kristie trying to curl Jenni's one bang and the look of horror on Jenni's face when she saw it..priceless!) we all looked beautiful anyway!

9) Blockles! The fervor of my freshmen year! Jenni is definitely hooked on this game..and got me hooked too! Although it's very much like tetris, all those items make the game all that better! +4, -4, swap, clear!

10) Basketball! GO CELTICS! 2-0 record against the Lakers. The finals are just heating up with Pierce's truly shocking performance with an injury and Garnett's poster-worthy dunks...I love this sport to death. I really missed playing it at Harker this year but I'll be sure to play later!
