Gettysburg Yearbook Experience

Next, Gettysburg Day 2 came. After, the first day of battle at Gettysburg General Robert E. Lee ordered an attack on Union troops just South of town. The Union was positioned all along a fishhook. Starting at Culp’s Hill, going around Cemetery Hill and going down Cemetery Ridge South of Gettysburg with 90,000 troops. The Confederates surrounded the fishhook with 70,000 troops. Robert E. Lee planned to attack the Union Army from the left and right flanks of the fishhook (“Robert” History.com).

The Battle of Gettysburg, was the largest battle of the Civil War, having around 85,000 men in the Union’s Army. The two generals were, General George Gordon and General Robert Edward. There were 3,155 dead, 14,529 wounded, 5,365 missing. These largely losses to the South’s largest army, combined with the Confederate surrender of Vicksburg, Mississippi, on July 4, marked what is widely regarded as a turning point—perhaps the turning point—in the Civil War.

College is an opportunity to truly discover who you are. Often enough, you hear people saying “You should really major in this field, I think you would really enjoy this career.” or, “Do you think you really want to study that? Have you thought about what you will be doing ten years from now?” filling your mind with self doubt, uncertainty, and the anxiousness of not knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life. Mark Edmundson wrote an article titled, Who Are You and What Are You Doing Here?, published in Oxford American addressing college students and their families how the most important thing college students should focus on is personal growth. When students take their courses seriously their engagement can help finding out who they really are and which future career will lead not necessarily to great financial success, but to a career and life that is very satisfying. Edmundson wants to inspire his audience and have them take what he is saying seriously. Edmundson uses satirical informal language and hypothetical situations to effectively persuade college students to focus on their personal growth in order to create a life and career that is deeply fulfilling.

Deresiewicz points out that a statement most people feel compelled to ask students regarding their major is “What are you going to do with that?” (28) There is a strong pressure to get through college with excellent grades and to start at a high paying job right after graduation. Deresiewicz argues that “few of them approach their studies with a sense of intellectual mission” because they are focusing on volunteering and internships (30). The author is putting down students for being anxious about what society has already planned for them. How can someone not worry about a job if that is all that is talked about with them? From personal experience, most adults will start a conversation by asking where I want to go to college and what I want

Did you know that according to “lifetouch.ca” over 52% of schools across Canada have a yearbook? Vincent Massey is apart of the 48% of schools that don’t get to look back on the memories and friendships that have happened throughout the years. In this paper I will argue that yearbooks are a great fundraiser, provides memories and gives a real-life lesson in journalism to the students on the yearbook committee.

The title “Windsor Harbor Yearbook staff” more or less reveals that this group works on the high school's yearbook. Being a part of the staff may seem like an easy task, however these individuals have responsibility than one may think. Other than creating a yearbook, the staff’s obligations include getting appropriate photos, making sure everyone can be included in the book, and interviewing students and teachers.

My junior and senior year of high school I was an editor of the yearbook staff. I played the role of creating our layouts for the pages. With a yearbook not every page can look the same because after a while it gets boring to look at. I have to look and see how many different ways I can adjust certain parts of the spread. Handling placement of key part to the spread is where I came into play.

The poem was written to impact the emotions of the reader, dramatizing them with

3. During the time I have been in yearbook I have gotten out and taken photos—for my page, others, or for more photo options—and I have been willing to accept others pages and commit to working on those pages, I have also been a lot more willing to go and talk to people for either quotes or a summary for a caption.

It all started at the beginning of the fall semester. I came to the first day of Comic Book Writing fifteen minutes early, as usual, and picked out the seat I

You never realize how diverse your school is until you see everyone you know together in one room, or in this case, one set of pages. I’ve worked on the yearbook for three years, and within those three years, I learned more about the environment of my school than I thought possible my freshman year. Through doing interviews with the football player I had never spoken with before, and taking pictures of events I wouldn’t have known

When I first joined yearbook I did not imagine that it would become as important a part of my life as it has become. I never thought I would stay at school until 11 o’clock at night working on the book. I never thought I would enjoy spending time searching for the perfectly “punny” page title—yet I did, and to this day I do.

The Western Yearbook class just took a big trip to where everything's bigger: Dallas, Texas. Led by Mr.Hughes the class attended a Journalism Conference in the city. Not only did they learn so much about the innovate ways schools from across the country to cover current events and what's going on within their schools, it was an incredible bonding experience for the mixed grade class.

You go three years of high school preparing for college and at the same time having fun. Until you are in your senior year of high school that’s when you realize and start asking your self what college do I want to go to? Or what college career I want to pursue? That’s when you notice you have but so little time to answer these questions. Me I’m in my last year of high school and I though I already knew what career I wanted to pursue, but its now that I notice that not even I know what I’m going to do with my life? All I’m sure of its that I’m going to graduate out of high school with a diploma and that I’m going to college. But what happens after that? What major did I study? Or where did I go to accomplish my goal?
