Don't hold yourself back I recently built up the courage to attend a career fair at my college. I had been debating whether or not I should go for a while. However, I realized that I have to do things like this at some point in my life so I may as well catch up on lost time (I chickened out last year). When I walked into the large room filled with endless booths and countless people my introverted tendencies were taking hold and it took everything I had to not rush to the nearest empty corner. My heart was racing and I was sweating bullets but after a half hour of timidly walking around I finally started to talk to some recruiters. I tried to calm down and avoid thinking about my stutter but it inevitably popped up. It was by no means pretty since my social anxiety was cranked up to a maximum, but I battled through it and tried my best to say what I really wanted to say. I may have stumbled and stammered in most of my sentences, but it's all worth it once you obtain that feeling of accomplishment that comes with facing your fears. Don't let your stutter hold you back from your dreams and desires!
