TEMPE, Ariz. — While most 18-year-olds are trying to choose what college to attend, one is wrapping up her college career. Dorothy Jean Tillman stands out this graduation season not just because of her age, but also her list of accomplishments.
Aside from her numerous degrees, Tillman also started a leadership institute where she teaches children in Chicago and West Africa about science, technology, engineering, arts and math. She hopes to use all that she has learned to change lives. 'It's normal if, you know, you think you have it figured out, and then you find out shortly after that that may not be the case," Tillman said."Pace. It happens a lot throughout life, and it's just like a part of the process. And to not forget that as you're going through it."
