Dont be too hard on yourself. It’s easier to say in retrospect, but in the moment I know the feeling is agonizing. My first introduction was one of the worst stutter filled intros ever. As you settle in and acclimate to your campus and students, it’ll slowly become easier to i traduce yourself. My name has my difficulty letters, so if yours is the same I’d suggest practicing introducing yourself to a mirror. The more confidence and fluidity you’ll be able to see. Also in classes where I had to speak a lot, I told my professor about my stutter beforehand and see how they can help you if possible. Don’t let this discourage you from fully experiencing your freshman year! Real friends will learn to accept you as is.
