Ethan Gill, Opinion Editor
Still yearning for more experience as a journalist, Ethan Gill, Junior, is back and ready to write.
“I greatly enjoyed being apart of journalism in my Sophomore year, so coming back was a really easy decision to make. I enjoyed the work, I enjoyed the experience I had gotten from that work and I loved working with my friends,” Gill said. In his Sophomore year he was the Co-Arts and Culture Section Editor. As a Junior he is now the Opinions Section Editor.
“I feel much more confident this year in comparison to last year. At the start of the year I was nervous and unsure of how much I belonged in the class, but after a while I really felt comfortable among my peers and I felt like they genuinely enjoyed having me around, which was very reassuring.” Gill said.
“I really hope that I can write more articles this year, and that I continue to enjoy the class. If you don’t enjoy the class you’re in, it gets much harder,” Gill said.
Gill still has a strong desire to tell fictional stories though, mainly in novels, comic books and cinema.
“Telling my stories is still my endgame,” Gill said. “And I feel like journalism is very helpful to my storytelling skills.”

Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
