Now, does that mean they will be a good role model? Of course not, there are also bad role models! But yes, they are role models, it is just one of those things that come with their job.

Most athletes do try to conduct themselves in a positive manner when in public view but there are those who just don't care what anyone thinks of them. The minds of those that say "athletics are not role models" are doing some wishful thinking; really they should not be role models but they are and that's a fact that no one can change.

The fact that so many kids look up to all these baseball players, basketball players and football players simply makes them role models. Here is an example, when you become a parent you automatically become a role model whether you like it or not. You can not simply say I am a parent and not a role model. The old saying "Do as I say, not as I do" does not work. Because you are a role model in that childs eyes! Kids look up to parents. Not only parents but also to big brothers and other family members, teachers, doctors, police man and the list goes on.

Scuba diving may be performed for a number of reasons, both personal and professional. Most people begin through recreational diving, which is performed purely for enjoyment and has a number of distinct technical disciplines to increase interest underwater, such as cave diving, wreck diving, ice diving and deep diving. Divers may be employed professionally to perform tasks underwater. Most of these commercial divers are employed to perform tasks related to the running of a business involving deep water, including civil engineering tasks such as in oil exploration, underwater welding or offshore construction. Commercial divers may also be employed to perform tasks specifically related to marine activities, such as naval diving, including the repair and inspection of boats and ships, salvage of wrecks or underwater fishing, like spear fishing. Other specialist areas of diving include military diving, with a long history of military frogmen in various roles. They can perform roles including direct combat, infiltration behind enemy lines, placing mines or using a manned torpedo, bomb disposal or engineering operations. In civilian operations, many police forces operate police diving teams to perform search and recovery or search and rescue operations and to assist with the detection of crime which may involve bodies of water. In some cases diver rescue teams may also be part of a fire department or lifeguard unit. Lastly, there are professional divers involved with the water itself, such as underwater photography or underwater filming divers, who set out to document the underwater world, or scientific diving, including marine biology and underwater archaeology. Reasons for diving may include:

Sports teams exist to provide entertainment. Families should be able to attend a game. Fathers and grandfathers should be able to pass on the same memories we enjoy. Many American families are not able to do this. Rising costs of tickets, beer, hot dogs, and even peanuts are prohibitive.

Justina Laurena Warren was born in 1871 in Knoxville, a small town a few miles east of Galesburg, Illinois.

She grew up in Galesburg.

Her interest in the practice of medicine was inspired by her mother, who was a nurse.

She was the first white woman hired by a Wild West outfit to fill a traditionally male role.

She was, hands down, the finest woman sharpshooting entertainer of all time. And, at one time, she may have been the most famous woman in the American West or the American East. She was, of course, Annie Oakley — her name nearly as well recognized to this day as that of the bigger-than-life figure who hired her, Buffalo Bill.

Annie, born Phoebe Ann Moses in Ohio's Darke County on August 13, 1860, got her gun at an early age but didn't shoot her way to everlasting fame until after William 'Buffalo Bill' Cody put her on the payroll in 1885. In the process, the little woman (5 feet tall, about 110 pounds) gave Cody's Wild West a shot in the arm.

the collection of the taxes, but they were ignored after violent protests in 1997.

The new law will prohibit manufacturers from selling tobacco without a state tax stamp to any wholesaler who won't promise the cigarettes won't be resold tax-free by New York tribes.
