![Traditionally, UPA’s seniors have risen early to start their first day of senior year watching the sunrise. This year, however, was anything but traditional. Instead of converging on a park or a hill, seniors had their “sunrise” in a Zoom call on the night of August 12. The event was organized by Chelsea Nguyen (12) and ASB Advisor Nicole Sebek as an extension to bonding activities ASB will hold for other grades as well.
Zuleika Cruz (12), an ASB member who helped lead some of the activities, thought the meeting went well, with some expected hiccups and difficulties, but with the conversations and laughter that ASB had envisioned.
“The whole point of the senior sunrise was to get the whole class to be more connected, to be a little more conjoined,” Cruz said, agreeing that the call had successfully done just that.
Although Nguyen and Senior Class Representative Parinita Gupta (12) had initially considered a socially distant, in-person sunrise, they decided instead to combine the sunrise tradition with ASB’s class bonding activities, and watch the sun “rise” on their senior year virtually.
“We thought, if [the seniors] transitioned from 11 [p.m.] to 12 [a.m.] when [they] were transitioning from 11th graders to 12th graders, it had a little more symbolic representation,” Sebek said.
