The Talk: Home Again with Notable 2012-13 Seniors

Elizabeth De Santiago, Aasritha Yanamala, and Wendy Le
December 1, 2023

Hosted by: Aasritha Yanamala, Elizabeth De Santiago

Edited by: Wendy Le

Ten years is a long time, enough for people to grow into themselves, become an adult and be a part of the real world. For some, this might be having a charcuterie board side business, for others, it might be craving for corn dogs from your hometown.

In this episode, The Sidekick’s staff writer Lizzie De Santiago and designer Aasritha Yanamala sit down with Addy Buigas-Lopez and Michelle Pitcher, two Coppell High School alumni who graduated ten years ago, to talk to them about how their high school experiences impacted them as people and what has changed since they walked the stage.
