I worked hard and gave my best!!! Yesterday was my VIVA day, and i was freakin worried.... I was doing some excercises for the past few months. Although the VIVA went with difficultly but still, this time it wasn't that hard. I remember once how I was badly wrecked by my one teacher in front of every faculty. I was feeling bad and low. My confidence sunk and I started to stutter even more. Then, while going through the YouTube I came across a channel that adviced to read a lot and loudly with some excercises (tongue movements, basically - make an 'O' with your tongue, stretch it, meditate and talk to as many people as you can.....plz plz plz don't feel shy or low on confidence...just make it happen). Anyway back to the story I started to wake at 5 in the morning and practice reading for an hour minimum and excercises for 30 minutes , sometimes I used to stretch my training hours around 3 to 4 hours a day (yeah guys it's really frustrating) . I started video calling my friends and started to talk to my old friends....they weren't so nice, although they kept teasing me but come on, school friends cannot offend you, right?( Although it hurt a bit) Due to COVID 19 I was unable to go outside and talk to random people or talk in a group but still the video calling was good. Then came my Oral on the Video call. (I literally mugged each and every word and practiced it around 10 times a day in front of mirror, while recording my voice in my cellphone) Then came the D-Day, although I performed average (I won't give you fake hopes) but this time I had a confidence on my face and I think if you can overcome your fears to some amount you can probably do anything. I did good, but better then the last time. This time I didn't froze and was able to spit out words with sometimes good speed and sometimes with ...... Yo.....u k...nn....ow!! I hope this would be helpful to many people Cheers to you, and plz don't treat your stuttering as a barrier.... There may be different ways that would suit different people to atleast get a hold of stuttering but keep trying to find new ways. Afterall we are the most *creative* people in the universe (you know how many great people used to stutter)
