One of my fondest memories from highschool is me stuttering in front of my class during a presentation This was last year around May. I had a project for my AP chem class to present a topic on anything science related and our peers would grade. Usually I’m confident and outgoing and don’t stutter much unless I have to say thank you in which case I don’t stutter I just don’t say it, I feel like an ass sometimes. Anyways my project was on the movie interstellar and I was really passionate about it, I loved the movie, watched it 3 times to get the information and mood of the presentation just right. I studied the science behind everything well enough to be able to explain it, I read the book and I was prepared prepared. This is where it got weird. Usually when I present, I just talk and don’t think twice about it because most school presentations don’t matter and it’s whatever. I get stuttering swings like seasonal depression but with stuttering so when I get those I don’t usually put myself out there. During this specific presentation I was confident I’ll knock it out of the park because I’ve grown close to my class because we’ve taken this class for 2 years now and we know eachother pretty well, hardly ever stutter around them. Once I started it went horribly, I was stammering, stuck mis sentence, couldn’t start others, by the end of it I was showing clips and I was supposed to explain them as they go on but I was defeated so I stayed silent. At the end I just scurried back to my seat and stayed silent, at the end of class we got our grades and I got a 97 averaged from the teacher and all my classmates. They were all supportive and said kind things that I knew were partly because of pity but it felt nice. Just wanted to share because I still think about it from time to time.
