presentation to you all, i have had a problem with speech since childhood (it feels like i always stuttered) that terrorized me throughout all public education and most of college. today, i was a member of a presentation team for a large contract. i did not have one 'episode' where i needed to stop or restart a word or change a word because i was going to get stuck or stutter and i'm pretty excited about that - i am not saying i'm the best presenter or that i didn't lose myself in my portion of the presentation. just that i made it through. if you're a kid and feel like you'll never make it through your life with speech problems (as i did many times), please read this as a truthful report from your future - you'll be alright, i promise tl:dr - i feel good about not stuttering today and i wanted to share it
