Recommended: Challenges of leadership in school

The inevitable question of what do you want to be when you grow up; we have all seen it in some shape or form posed to us in countless questions during adolescence. In my younger years I would respond by saying the next Michael Jordan, a WWE superstar or even the Steelers starting quarterback. Around 6th grade I perceived that neither of those careers were an option for me; I lacked the height for the NBA, I’d be made somebodies ragdoll in professional wrestling and my NFL career would be the equivalent of Joe Thiemann against Lawrence Taylor. In an expeditious manner I began to notice the various non-athletic sport industry related jobs. I could be in charge of a facility for all to use, be in charge of an organizations finances, broadcast or simply work in tickets sales. After letting go of my fantasy I embraced what I truly wanted to do in the sports field, a job that requires me to be well rounded and in charge of multiple teams. Being a high school Athletic Director is no cake walk, I will be forced to exploit all my skills while simultaneously supervising a team of coaches, working with frustrated parents and players and other AD’s in our conference. Budgeting funds to each team accordingly will also play a big part into my career path; for instance if the football team wants new uniforms but the girls soccer program has been using the same uniforms for the past 5 seasons they will obviously be first priority. As an Athletic Director I will also be in charge of planning each event; for example varsity basketball will practice later than the freshman team, when we play our rival team the crowd will be large and we will need a bigger venue, and the football season will commence on august 18th. Setting a standard for conduct a... ... middle of paper ... ... make could have a negative outcome; creating too tough of a schedule will discourage players, fan support will be down and you could lose sponsors. Though that’s a rash scenario these are things athletic directors have to take into consideration, how would teams get to away games if the athletic director forgot to provide transportation? People skills are great to have with any job title, specifically to this field I will be required to speak with countless people or in Tom Neubert’s instance sift through emails and communicate with UC students. Leadership skill are essential for success, having one person in charge of everything that revolves around your programs is a lot of work and if they are not capable of leading their staff, athletes, and governing body they will not be able to motivate the rest of the student body. Did you forget who organizes pep rallies?

    Moderata Fonte’s Venetian ladies debated the worth of women while cavorting in their fictional garden in 1605; Tempel Anneke met her unhappy fate in the 1660s. The seemingly enlightened and forward-looking feminist attitudes articulated in Fonte's text were absent from the Brunswick courtroom where the allegations against Tempel Anneke eventually brought about her death. The two accounts illustrate the differences in the attitudes towards women between European states during the 17th century. The differences are technically religiously based, however, they deal with the differences of the specific regional factors of the areas discussed. The differences explain why the attitudes of Fonte’s ladies and the persecutors of Tempel coexisted in roughly the same era. Fonte's ladies are Italian Catholics, and Anna's neighbors are German Protestants, therefore, the ideals of women are varied based on religious experience. Additionally, the theory of reason of state that came about with the consolidation of authority consisted of centralization and secularism that subordinated the social role ...

    One of my great difficulties with Kant's moral philosophy is that it suggests that our moral obligations leave us helpless when dealing with evil. “Kant's theory sets a high ideal of conduct and tells us to live up to that ideal regardless of what other persons are doing.” Imagine you are a character in a Shakespearean play and are watching your father getting murdered. He is the King and you aspire that one day you will take his place (Even though you know it won’t happen, because you’re a woman). Your brother takes the initiate to kill him and take his place. I’m sure you would not be thinking oh, it’s fine that he killed your father because being king is a great thing and it doesn’t matter how or why he got there. Most likely you’d be thinking to yourself: How can he become king by murdering my father? This is horrible and unjust. He does not have the entitlement to be king. Even though the people will accept him as king, but know the way he acquired this position was through murder. And they would pretend to like him, but out of fear or resentment, depending, perhaps, if the previous king was good or bad. If your brother had waited to become king, rather than murdering his own father to become king, then the means that he used to get to the end would’ve been better and the people would most likely have accepted him.
