I feel for you. I went through undergrad with a severe stutter with mimicking and jokes all the way. Please think what you can do versus what has been very hard and seemed impossible. The amputee can train for the paralympics, right? Why would he? To look beyond the lack of limbs and seek out the maximum for his life. Look up Kyle Maynard on the internet. He was born a congenital amputee and became a wrestler and then climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa- for real. You are an athlete. Bill Walton, Darren Sproles, Kenyon Martin and others grew up with a stutter. Your inherent coordination and strength may map over to great speech freedom. Nelson Mandela once said: "Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the triumph over it." Best, Tim- Atlanta, GA
