Small celebration. Hello everyone. So little bit of backstory, for the last year or so I've had a tutor to help me with the school stuff I struggle with. In a session it's just the two of us around a table. The man is kind, patient and softspoken. He's never mentioned my stammer and more importantly never rushed me or made me uncomfortable, perfect reactions. That being said, I do still stammer when I'm with him. So today I went to him and about half way through our session I realised I had been completely fluant so far and I was quite surprised when I thought back. I had spoken the usual amount and the words I said so fluently would normally take AGES. Just not today. Then for the rest of the lesson I payed more attention to my speech and thought it was all over when it came to several words but no, completely fluant. Then we were at the end. One lesson fluant completely, all the way through, for no particular reason but still FLUANT!!!!! I had a very happy ride home on my bike grinning all the way about my hour of fluency. I know its stupid. It meant nothing to him, he probably never noticed and that's alright. I had one of those very rare hours where I was completely fluant, a brilliant way to start my day. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a lovely day.
