Model Essay(范文)：
The principal of a school is one of our firstencounters with a figure of authority. Consequently, he or she must be a good example of aleader. The principal must be firm, fair and foresighted which are important qualities of aprincipal.
When a principal announces a rule, you must understand that he or she means it. If a rulerequires all students to be in their seats when the bell rings, the rule must be enforced. Ifstudents are out of their seats, they should be punished. If a rule requires that students notwear bats in school, the rule must be enforced. If students wear bats, the bats must be takenaway from them. A principal must be firm.
When a principal enforces a rule, you must understand that he or she will treat everyoneequally. If I get caught eating at my desk, I must receive the same punishment that myclassmate got when she got caught eating at her desk. If a sophomore is late for school, he orshe must receive the same punishment that a senior would. A principal must be fair.
When a principal establishes a rule, you must understand that he or she has a goodreason for it. If a rule requires that students must participate in extracurricular sports, youshould understand that the principal knows that a strong body as well as a strong mind willhelp us in the future. If a rule requires that students must do two hours of volunteer work inthe community each week, you should understand that the principal knows that closeinvolvement in the community builds strong character. A principal must be foresighted.
A principal's job is not as easy one. I only hope that in the future, I can model my ownleadership abilities on the ones I observed in school. I hope I can be as firm, fair, andforesighted as my principal.
