Courtney Waltermire

My name is Courtney Waltermire, and I am currently a twenty-year old sophomore studying Social Work at the University of Kentucky. I chose this field because I have a passion for helping others, especially children, and especially those children who need my help the most. I am a driven, hard-working individual who has overcome many obstacles to get to where I am today. I am a Christian pastor's daughter from a large family, meaning that to even get to school was challenging, as I had to essentially pay my own way. I have managed to do so through scholarships, the largest of which being my Governor's School for the Arts Scholarship. However, college is not inexpensive, and I am constantly looking for ways to further help pay for my education so that I can complete my degree and begin doing what I really feel passionately about- helping others.
