I’ve never thought of it as a disability, nor will I ever let it. I’ve had opportunities to claim it as a disability. In college I could have gotten out of taking a public speaking class, but I decided that I will not let my stutter hold me back. I got the highest grade in the class. There are many job interview that I’ve stumbled through every single word that I’ve said, but I kept my composure in the face of it. I got (most) of the jobs Ive ever applied for. Today, I taught my first college class of my career. I was absolutely terrified. I stuttered though the entire thing. My students didn’t seem to mind one bit and I felt the lesson went fantastically. If I could pick out one thing that I’ve learned from my stutter, it’s that it has taught me to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong, I suffer from horrible anxiety because of it. I doubt myself and go through the same angst that everyone on this sub also feels. The reason I bring things up isn’t to simply say how great I am, or anything of the sort. During all of these examples I was absolutely terrified and horribly self doubtful. But I want my message to be that you should never let fear and self doubt hold you back. If you think of it as a disability, it will be a disability. It seems like you’ve never treated it as one in the past. You seem like someone with strong resolve. I have faith that you’ll get into the program you desire. Don’t let one rejection get you down, although it is discouraging. Prove that guy wrong. I know you can do it 🤙🏻 u/ziggyjoe212 , I know the point you are trying to make and I agree with you fullheartedly. I’m not sure why you are being downvoted.
