No problem. I wrote a lot about how my stutter has made me a more patient, empathetic, open-minded person and I truly believe that. I've noticed I tend to be less judgmental than some of my friends and family members because I realize that everyone has their own personal struggles, even if it's not apparent. When I was volunteering in hospitals, I also got along really well with the elderly patients because they gave me a lot more time to talk and I didn't feel as rushed. In return, I also gave them a lot more time to do everything, never rushed them, and I think they appreciated that.
