I found that doing the scenarios were not only interesting, but helpful.  By looking at different situations, even though they may not happen, it helps you to think through the processes of what you would do, what kinds of things you need to think about, all the factors that go into figuring out a situation and how different people can view the same scenario.  Even when you have your own building, it would be a good idea to bounce thoughts and ideas off of other principals and especially your superintendent.  I know that when I am in charge of my own building, there will be many situations that come up that, due to my inexperience, I won't know how to handle.  I think the best thing is to remain calm, listen to all parties involved, evaluate, and enlist help when needed!!!!  Although it makes me nervous to think about all the situations I may run into, I fell that I am more confident in dealing with the process.
