2014 is the year my stutter doesn't rule my life.

2014 is the year my stutter doesn't rule my life. Hi, everyone. My names Dylan. For the last 16 or so years, my stutter has ruled my life. Grew up with my mom (and stepdad) screaming at me every time my stutter got the best of me, making it worse. Kids at school making fun of me all my life, eventually causing me to get into fights and expelled from the school I went to. Not wanting to go through the hassle of meeting new people and getting into more fights, I was put into an online class (local, so they had a "Campus" and everything, including a lab to go into). It helped me graduate high school, but it completely ruined my social abilities. During the last two years I was enrolled I worked with the tech coordinator who showed me my way around several widely used programs and he (and the entire school staff) was really patient with my stutter. I owe him for everything he did for me, cause not only did he help me find what I wanna do for a living, he showed me that not everyone hates people with a stutter. From then on, I started improving slowly. 2013 came around and I started to realize that I can't let my stutter rule my life. Im awful at talking to strangers, and something as simple as ordering a pizza over the phone sends me to tears. all the jobs I'm interested in all require fluent speech or simply the ability to talk on the phone without a problem. There's a few supervisor jobs opening up in my company and I'm told Im capable, I just have to be able to speak. Thats when I realized. 2014 is going to be THE year I get the job I want (or at least a good one. need more money to fund my nights at the strip club! (Just kidding). I know I can't be the only one using their stutter as an excuse to not do something, so who wants to join me? Dammit, I just wanna order a pizza!
