Congrats on your 4.0 GPA, I agree with the idea that stuttering limits the potential we have or things that come as automatic to those that are fluent but difficult for us to do. We are 1% of the world’s population so all people can do is stare and assume that you are “quiet” or strange. The representation we have is absolutely terrible because stuttering is associated with porky or some other gag character like Timmy from South Park. My advice is to accept that you stutter, hold those close who accept and defend you and if someone talks crap to you inform them what a stutter is and if they still laugh they’re not worth the time. With that high GPA you can get into a good college or maybe you want the military keep on trying as we cannot let this stutter swallow us in an abyss even if it does at times
