It is disheartening that the impediment always haunts you...the most inopportune times as well. But the most important aspect of any hardship is how resilient the person is. When you battle you must endure some horrendous things to triumph. As a stutterer for all my years I know how you feel. I have missed opportunities in life because of it, bullied at school and work, ostracized from my peers etc. So just remember your stutter can be a blessing if you'd look at it right. It does teach you compassion above all things. Be tenacious and be the best you can be, things will fall into place.
