Are there any teachers out there who at first didn't they they could handle speaking that much? I'm considering trying to become a teacher but it is incredibly intimidating. I often enjoy speaking in front of people but my stutter is severe and, if I am anxious, it can be really bad. Often times in school my presentations would be train wrecks. However, if I am comfortable, I'm generally able to get my point across and have fun doing it. I guess I'm just wondering if generally PWS who are teachers just generally have mild stutters or if its possible to teach well AND stutter a lot. edit: Thank you to all who commented. Especially Claypigeon-alleg. I've decided to more seriously pursue this line of work and it is, in part, due to being inspired by strangers on the internet. The world can be a really cool place.
