I don't believe that stuttering is something that you overcome, rather it's something that you learn to deal with. I have a moderate stutter and until this year, I always used to hide it. I'm 35. It finally took me losing 2 jobs in 1 year to realize that I need to mention it in the interview. Otherwise, people might think I'm crazy or drunk when I can't get the words out! I don't think my stutter is the problem, it's some people's negative reactions that are the problem. I don't want to write a novel here but to anyone who has been laughed at or bullied because of your stutter, you are definitely not alone. I was laughed at during many presentations in school to the point that the teacher was even laughing. I took that anger and directed it toward personal triumph. I took on a job where I had to teach classes of up to 10 people a few times a year. It ended up being a job that changed my life! I recently started my own business where I provide online training and I do all of the voice over work for my videos myself. The great thing about online training is that it is edited :) I record one sentence at a time and then edit it all together. It might take me longer than a "normal" person but the fact that I'm doing it at all makes me happy!
