Thank you for the advice! After doing some research online, a lot of people seem to suggest that essays about disabilities/struggles are a really risky thing. Going back to your pointers specifically, my issue that I feel like all the positive traits that I have right now came from my experiences stuttering. Like the empathy I have towards people comes from not getting it while I was stuck on a word. Or my ability to truly listen to others and create meaningful connections and conversations came from wishing other people did the same for me. I can go on, but I feel like there isn’t one specific event that happened in my life that taught me a better lesson than something to do with stuttering.
