I’ve owned my stutter, it’s who I am. My senior quote was “Did I stutter?, but I would 100% get rid of my stutter if I could. It frustrates me, and it won’t change me one bit as a person if it disappeared. My issue is I wasn’t born without a stutter, I developed it sometime in middle school. I’ve lived and experienced life without a stutter and I would give anything to get rid of it
