I got offered an internship To see my character development, check out these three topics: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/aexqhj/have\_a\_job\_interview\_wednesday\_thinking\_about/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/aexqhj/have_a_job_interview_wednesday_thinking_about/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/agputn/thanks\_to\_the\_amazing\_support\_of\_this\_community\_i/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/agputn/thanks_to_the_amazing_support_of_this_community_i/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/bh1jjn/i\_went\_to\_another\_job\_interview\_today/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/bh1jjn/i_went_to_another_job_interview_today/) A couple weeks ago, I applied for a company that had a summer internship open. This internship was a very hot topic in my computer science classes, and I'd estimate around 30-40 people applied to it, so I didn't even expect to hear back from them. But to my surprise, they emailed me and said they wanted to schedule an interview with me. I thought my chances of getting hired were 1 in 1000, but I still decided to go, since it would give me good interviewing experience. I got along really well with the interviewer. I answered all of his programming questions very well, and I did pretty good with the personal questions as well. I was happy with the interview, but I still thought my chances were low, since the position was so competitive. Well, it turns out I'm a lot luckier than I thought I was. I got the offer a couple of days ago, and I'm still in complete disbelief. I start work tomorrow, and I still can't believe that I somehow landed such a competitive internship in my second year. I'm pumped, and I'm ready to start making my mark on this world. Guys, don't let your stutter hold you back in life. This semester, I told myself I was running out of time, and that I couldn't hide from this world anymore. I told myself I was going to start working towards my life goals, and that cowering in fear was no longer an option. I can't change the way I talk, but I can sure as hell change the way I think about it. It's nothing more than a speed bump, not the brick wall I've always made it out to be. I'm an amazing human being with tons of potential. It'd be a shame if I held that potential back because I was scared of what other people thought about me. Thanks for all of your help, guys. There's no way I'd be in this situation right now if it wasn't for all of you. Please try your best to stay positive and optimistic. I wish you all the best of luck in obtaining the best of what your future has to offer.
