1.2 Journal

My current organization is being a Pre -Kindergarten teacher at our school system here in

Alabama. I love my job and what I do , however, as we know working with a lot of different

women and their personalities can come with some chaos. In addition, this can also cause some

fric tion in the workplace, as well. Although there has been some progress when it comes to

women being in lea dership, I strongly feel that we as women still face a long road ahead of us.

As well as, getting the focal poin t of not having to worry about women still competing with men

in order to get a fair chance. The challenge has changed in contemporary times by still having

such a small number of women filling these jobs that were once not availa ble (Ziezulewicz &

Faram, 2017). For example, in the state of Alabama alone, over 3,500 teachers have retired due

to the COVID -19 pandemic that we are currently and still is fighting. Also, I feel as though as

women we don’t get a lot of recognition for what we do, regardless of ou r careers and that alone

says a lot regarding the diversity when it comes to women and men in leadership.
