Stuttering has potentially ruined my chance if going to an art school I feel horrible. I was so excited to apply to art school and thought i’d just get an email that shows the date when i’m going to introduce myself and all that stuff. Turns out they’re method of contacting me was a phone call. Every stutterer knows how horrifying calls can be so…i didn’t pick up the phone. I was just so scared and couldn’t even move when i saw the call. I hoped they MAYBE would still send an email but no. There’s nothing. I plan on applying next year and working my fear of phone calls. I just feel so stupid and needed to share this.😮‍💨
