  • 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.

  • Elite Pet Havens are opulent indoor environments for dogs and other companion animals. They simulate outdoor settings in which your dog can joyfully romp. Each Haven is custom-conceived and executed; they are truly unlimited in potential
  • Company CEO K. Michael Berry had his initial inspiration for the enterprise while sitting one day in Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park. Lined by Greek Revival town houses and graced with a monumental marble arch modeled on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, Washington Square Park boasts of a dog run around which grow Catalpa trees, red roses and lavender bushes. Lovely as the park may be during la belle saison, however, during the harsher days of New York City winters it can seem less than ideal for dogs and their humans. Why, thought Mr. Berry to himself, should it not be possible for these cosmopolites and their dogs to enjoy a more al fresco style K-9/human bonding inside their dwelling places all year long?
