26 M, and I went to a leading school in my field as well and I wanted to add something eloquent and inspirational and be like 'yeah, you can do it!' - but honestly, after reading it my main response was well, fuck that club. There is more to communication, critical thinking etc than just the ability to give a verbally fluent presentation. Networks are important yeah, but what's more important in the real world is the ability to go do something, fail and then continue doing things. Stuttering isn't great, but it does give us opportunties to double down on this skill - fail, and then do stuff again. For context - I not only stutter, I have dysarthia - which means I slur my speech and at times am pretty understandable and my undergrad degree is in performance. The number of times I was marked down on speech, clarity was unreal, but I kept at it. Did I learn to speak better, no (if anything its got worse) - but I did learn self confidence and how to work with differing vocal patterning. It also taught me hell of resilence. You didn't get this one thing, so go do another thing. You are more than your articulation, and your articulation isn't inherently bad - reactions to it might be bad, you might be treated badly, but you are not bad and neither is your stuttering. Just keep trying stuff - it gets easier to try the more you do it.
