Courtney Gutkowski

My name is Courtney Gutkowski, and I am a freshman at West Chester University. I was born and raised in the Poconos by the unconditional love and support of my mother. I am currently majoring in English with a minor in Sports Journalism, with the hopes to become a high school teacher. Writing has always been my escape from the world. It allows me to say what I feel like I can not say out loud, which is why I feel writing for Odyssey would be ideal for me. Being raised by a single mother has taught me to be independent, and to have the confidence to chase my dreams. Personally, I believe writing for the Odyssey will allow me to accomplish the goals I have set for myself.
