It made me such a better kid and person I started QB I was class clown when the teacher asked who wanted to read I put my hand up PROUD.. Why, because my dad stuttered and he wasn’t ashamed he was my hero. I developed epilepsy y speech worsened I have a 12 year old and I’m blessed he doesn’t stutter but I worry about epilepsy so I do understand.. But I promise you my stutter and apathy towards judgement.. I was called studs in jail because I beat everyone in rap battles but I stutter.. I’ve been sober 7 years.. I lost my dad at 12.. But he always made me feel like BE DIFFERENT WHO GIVES A SH** he died when I was 12 but he made sure I was comfortable in my own skin..
