Add to ORKGMonroe (1997) said, School should not reflect what society is, but rather school should model what society should be (p. 193). This statement summarizes my reasons for becoming an administrator. Iowa\u27s public schools are some of the finest learning institutions in the nation. These same schools, however, frequently reflect the negative characteristics of society. Lack of respect, segregation of students, and elitist attitudes are prevalent characteristics of today\u27s society and today\u27s schools. I want to be a leader who will make the necessary changes to maintain our high academic standards for all students and make our schools a welcoming place for all students, staff, families, and community members
