Stuttering saved my life So the other day, I was walking to school when my friend’s car stopped me. His parents asked me if I wanted to come in and drop me off. I really wanted to go as my legs were aching, but I wasn’t familiar with them so I stuttered really badly, and I just shook my head. When I was nearly there I heard ambulance sirens so I was wondering what had happened so I just didn’t think much of it. Turns out it was the same friends car that wanted to drop me off had a car crash. The car was crushed in from the front, the parent had minor injuries and my friend had banged his head badly. I was shook. Imagine if it was worse and if I hadn’t stuttered! I would’ve suffered greatly. Sometimes bad things can lead to good things and good things can lead to bad things as well. Thank you stutter, you are a blessing :D
