Leader Profile Paper
Introduction:
I choose to write my leader profile paper on my high school basketball coach and teacher at Sacred Heart in Ville Platte, Mrs. Stephanie Fontenot. I believe that besides my family she has been the most significant leader throughout my life. At my past high school she was my basketball coach, art teacher, financial math teacher, Rodeo Team/Club Sponsor, and lastly a great mother to two of my best friends. She never seemed to let the stress of being in charge of so many things get to her head. She always exemplified true examples of leadership, and always wanted to show her students and players how they too can be great leaders. She was a great role model to everyone that knew her. As a teacher, mother, and coach, Mrs. Stephanie would be sure to show leader qualities but what makes her so special is the ways that she shows them. She has always come across as a very humble person. She is strong in her Catholic faith and has always taught her students that throughout life we should always keep God first. Growing up in a small Catholic town and school, I have been through many different experiences, good and bad, when it came to being a strong leader while still keeping faith. I believe that her strong faith, while making great judgments for her students and players makes her an exceptional leader and one that I and the rest of our basketball team have grown to admire throughout the years.
