Realizing I’ll probably never have it as good again

Realizing I’ll probably never have it as good again I recently had to leave my job as a barista at Starbucks due to starting college, which I miss horribly (this isn’t a promotion or anything btw). As most of you would probably assume, being a barista at Starbucks is a rather speech-heavy job in terms of interacting with customers, coworkers, handing out drinks, etc. There were some days where my stutter went to complete shit and I became awkward when interacting with people. However, I pushed on, and it turned out being one of the most fun jobs I’ve ever had. But, I couldn’t have done it without my one manager (we’ll call her K). My store was new and many of the staff that trained us were from a nearby store. I was really shy and reserved at first because my stutter was bad at the time and I was even surprised from the fact that the main manager even hired me because I stuttered horribly during the interview and training. The day that K first trained us, I eventually disclosed to her that I had a stutter because it was obviously impacting the training a bit. So while we were sent on our break, she wanted to talk with me in the corner about it. It turns out she had a WHOLE ASS DEGREE in speech pathology and that she was completely understanding of it and actually felt emotional discussing it with me. Like, she was literally crying as we were talking about it. She told me to never let it get in the way of what I want to do, to not lot anyone get away with making fun of it, that she’ll be fully accommodating and supportive when I speak. It was just a surreal moment to me because I’ve never really talked that profoundly about it with a stranger before, especially one I just met a few hours prior. I was on the verge of tears, it was just a really defining experience that came out of the blue. Throughout the rest of the time there, my coworkers were really understanding about it and I think it’s because of K’s defense of my stutter, especially when I was training to talk with other customers. I eventually became comfortable enough to be myself, and it was the first time I ever felt so at any job. Now, as I head into the real adult world and face the impending event of having to get a job in college, I realize I’ll never have it as good again. I have to make entirely new connections and understandings with people about my stutter and I dread doing so. I just know there will never be the same level of understanding again. Also, the people around my college campus aren’t as friendly compared to back home. While talking to people, everyone is just impatient and it makes pretty much every conversation awkward. Overall, I just feel like I’ll never have a job, or at least a part-time job, where people will be as understanding of my stutter again and I’m kinda upset about it.
