I’m 24. You will probably read a lot of comments here saying that you will be miserable all of your life. Although I feel very bad for the people who say that because they might feel that way, I mist say having a positive attitude will go a long way. My story is as follows: born and raised in Cuba I have stuttered since I was 4. I married my high school sweetheart who was in fact the hottie of the class. We have been together for 8 years now. All of my friends tried and wanted to be with her but only I was able to. I have never let my speech impediment be an impediment outside of my speech. I have never felt sorry for myself or nothing of the sort. God created me this way for whatever purpose and I accept it. I came to America during my teenage years and at first I didn’t stuttered in English but over time I started to. I became an accountant and one of the reasons was that I did not want to talk to people that much. Guess what, I have to deal with clients all day in the corporate world. Someone in another comment said that it is a good idea to have something going for you such as being in good shape when it comes to girls and friends. Well, I totally agree with that. In my case, I have lots of friends and they all accept me and we even laugh at my blocks sometimes cause they are damn funny. Along with my wife and family they are my biggest supporters. I have never been a sports guy but I always wanted to outsmart everyone and I think I have. I was always top of my class and I try to be the best at my job. I get inspiration from Moses, Winston Churchil, Marilyn Monroe, King George VI, Isaac Newton, Einstein, Beethoveen; all of them were stutterers. I hope this helps you and everyone who reads it. God bless you
