I know what factors led to my success very well. All credit goes to Jesus Christ. He brought me out of those dark moments when I felt like giving up. I was only able to work hard because Jesus put me in a position to do so. I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for him. Speech therapy REALLY helped me out in changing my perspective on stuttering. I was able to meet a stutter who owned his own business. This was during a time when I was in college, dealing with depression, zero friends, no confidence at all. It's funny because this same question came up and he told me the exact same thing I'm telling you; don't let your stuttering hold you back. Like I said, do what you want but don't tell me I'm being toxic because I'm trying motivate others to live their life to their fullest potential. Plenty of people in here already proved that its possible. But I'm not going to keep going back and forth with you. I said everything I wanted to say. You can have the last word, then we'll end it. Best of luck to you, my friend.
