Tallia Cuttino came to the Scholar House at Kit Carson Commons by a circuitous route. She joined the army reserves as a junior in high school; then she tried college for a few semesters, worked at Fort Knox in human resources, and temporarily moved to St. Louis to be a flight attendant. Back in Louisville as a single mother, Tallia determined to become a pilot, taking classes first at JCCC and then at Eastern Kentucky University, where she joined the Scholar House. “The program is awesome,” she said. “I just don’t really know how else to explain it besides that it is just support for me, support for my kid… Everything we need.”
