During high school I never met anyone who stutters besides my dad and my maternal grandfather, but when I started going to university suddenly I became friends with a lot of people who stutter. But what we could say blew my mind the most is that this year I had a professor who teaches neuroscience who told us she stutters and Idk why that gave me so much hope? I've always had a lot of trouble with public speaking because the words just won't come out as I want them to, but this woman is able to teach 3 hour classes multiple times a day many times a week!! It made me quite happy
