Xavier Harding is a Gettysburg College scholar, heartthrob and all around Renaissance man. When he’s not fighting forest fires voluntarily or climbing mountains with his elbows he likes to listen to music, play video games and help Janet Morgan Riggs with her hedges. In high school, as head of the debate team, he argued with other students during lunch about various topics like ending the dress code, convincing his classmates to give him their lunch, and starting a debate team. Xavier started writing for the Forum in 2009 and continues to do so because, according to his uncle, “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
