I'm a stuttering professor. Greetings, as the title says, I'm a professor of respiratory therapy at my local university. While my stutter does cause me some annoyances and difficulties while I'm lecturing, It doesn't stop me from teaching my students how to save lives. As a child, I never dreamed I could accomplish such a thing with a stutter. Since then, I have learned that while a stutter makes it more difficult to achieve certain things, it is not impossible to accomplish almost anything I want if I work hard enough. What do you awesome people do for a living?
