Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Carole Vargas (John Gardner Fellows, Class of 1985) recalls being part of the first class of John Gardner Fellows, including meeting notable individuals associated with the program, hearing how the fellowship came about, and working at Independent Sector with mentors Virginia Hodgkins and Sandra Gray. She also shares memories of and advice given to her by John Gardner, her experience at the first fellows retreat at Asilomar, and why the John Gardner Fellowship Association (JGFA) was formed. Vargas speaks about her career in public education, being a public elementary school principal and the highs and lows associated with her job, and the importance of reflection and following one’s own interests.
