Congrats, that's really cool especially with oral exams. I can't even imagine having to do oral exams. I'm homeschooled so it's a little different and way less pressure, but I have no oral exams and I've gotten excused from presentations. I feel a little lame for doing that, but it's pretty painful for me and everyone listening so. Anyway, hearing your story is inspiring. My grandad (also a severe stutterer) had the highest grades and was chosen for the valedictorian at his high school and literally turned it down because he didn't want to give a speech. His family was so mad at him lol. He didn't care though because he'd already gotten into the university he wanted.
