What is something that you can brag about? While having a stutter sucks and can make life more difficult on us, we are a group of resilient badasses from all walks of life. For as much crap as life throws at us, surely there is something you have to brag about. I'll go first. Despite having a stutter, I'm both Respiratory Therapist, and an Adjunct Professor of Respiratory Therapy at my local university. I was also a Combat Medic/Airborne Paratrooper in my nation's Army. Despite having the only stutter in my family, I'm the only one in six Generations to ever obtain a college degree. I just started my masters degree yesterday, and you can bet I stuttered through the whole orientation. You can bet I stuttered in front of my class as I taught them how to intubate somebody. And you can bet I'm going to stutter later this week when I work with patients. I'm not going to lie, my stutter makes life difficult, but I know I'm not the only badass who can work past it.
