Hey just wanted to say that you and I are the same when it comes to our stories and how our stuttering is and how it effects us. I chose the career of a teacher for a reason to overcome it everyday. Every so often I slip and I catch a student snickering but most don't pick up. I came to like my stuttering because it kept me on my toes, allowed me to explore new possibilities to word things and therefore learn new words itself. I see my stutter as a rival who's ever changing and I need to adapt and keep learning ways to combat it. I liked hearing your story, keep it up. Some days are bad and some days are great and it's the great ones we remember the most.
