Like others have already said, don't let your life be your stutter. My grandpa had a stutter until he was around 22. I still stutter and I'm 29. I don't live my life wishing I didn't have it, mainly because I don't let it effect my life. I saw someone else do a Bio chart and thought it was pretty cool. 1. Started stuttering at around 6 or 7. My mom believes it was due to my step brother abusing me and my sisters. I don't remember it at all, so maybe she's right? 2. Moderate stutter 3. Elementary - Middle school was tough. Luckily I had early puberty so I got rather big quicker than the other kids. High school was better, mainly due to xbox live. I was able to have a group of great friends who hung out with me during school and after school on xbox. We are all still friends to this day. 4. Graduated HS and left for the US Army a few months later. 5. Honorable discharge from active duty, switched over to reserves. 6. Worked as a surveillance operator for a high end casino. 7. Left that job and tried my hand at being a correctional officer. 8. Went on a Tinder date. We've been together almost 6 years and have a wonderful 2 year old boy. 8. Left law enforcement after 2 years. Went back to the casino and started college. 9. Made Surveillance supervisor. 10. Got my associates degree in Process Technology. 11. Left the casino, and now work as a Biomed Technician in a major hospital in my area. 12. Went back to school, online, for computer science. 13. Streamed on Youtube and Twtich for a few years, but found myself burned out. I still am an active gamer though. 14. Just bought our first home!
