Thank you. Maybe it's not enough self-advocacy, but we did about-me worksheets, and in mine I wrote that I struggle with public speaking due to my stutter, and the event I posted abt happened *after* we completed that assignment. So I at least tried I guess 😭 In regards to my 504, though, the only accommodation I have states I can practice presentations one-on-one with my teachers....I technically *don't* have anything on my file that reads "Must not randomly call on her," but pre-504, (which was....many months ago lol) I had teachers that let me live and barely called on me. Hell, just the other day, my English teacher told me she'll encourage me to engage in the spoken activities we'll partake in during the course, but it's not a *requirement.* But life is life and everyone's different, so 🤷‍♀️ guess it is what it is lol. I hate embarrassing myself though and I just feel so abnormal, but I guess I'll live lmao. Thanks for the support tho 💗
