EDD72090_Spring 2019_YANUZZI
A Mindmap that explores the connections, patterns, and differences among creativity, innovation, design, leadership and my professional journey.
After two attempts at the SATS, I decided no college would have me because my scores were so low. I let my SAT scores nullify all my high school leadership positions and high grades. This single "failure" resulted in my decision to apply to zero colleges, finding myself at my local community college because I didn't know what else to do.
