Senior Sunrise

Early in the morning on Tuesday, Oct. 25, seniors dress in their comfy sweaters and pants with a cup of warm coffee in their hands, and reminisce over their years at West. Gathered together at the football field for Senior Sunrise, the class of 2023 enjoyed the last taste of their highschool careers as they head towards their own paths in the future.

Sorina Yang (12), Tommy Nguyen (12), and Kayla Dadivas (12) warm up on a pile of blankets. Gathered together at the football field, the class of 2023 enjoyed the last taste of their highschool careers as they head towards their own paths in the future. Senior Sunrise is a meaningful event to many, including Nguyen, who found it bittersweet: “To me, it meant an opening into the last year of high school surrounded by all the people I grew up with.”

Yudai Shimizu (12), Kevin Han (12), Marina Soen (12), Elise Fauni (12), and Rakza Srivanitchayakun (12) enjoy themselves by playing an intense game of cards.

Mars Padi (12), Jake Nguyen (12), and Karen Kato(12) are all smiles with their free breakfast provided by West High. Many seniors were hesitant to attend since the event was so early in the morning. Paddi and their friends went since “it was talked about a lot by past upperclassmen friends.” In the end, Paddi felt it was their responsibility as a senior to make the most of their last year.
