I love it! Hearing (well reading) these things is always awesome! I've been stuttering since as long as I could remember. I remember when I was 17, sitting in front of the Army recruiter, with a written list of questions, and the top one being 'would my stutter effect me in the army?' Spoiler alert, it didn't. Sure I got it harder than some, but it is what it is. I did my time in active duty infantry. Was made team leader above my peers. Got out with honorable discharge. Became a correctional officer, and was treated better than almost every other officer. As long as you treat people like people, they tend to do the same, inmate or not. Of course this doesn't always apply. A\*\*holes will always be a\*\*holes, whether they are in prison or inside your workplace. Got out of corrections to go back to school. Got engaged to a great woman and became a father to a healthy boy. Became a supervisor at my current job. On track to graduate in May of this year, and already have job offers within my field! ​ I've also made YouTube videos for a long time, but never went live, just because if I had a stutter fit I can't edit it out when I'm live. I got over that, and am excited to finally start streaming on twitch starting this week. Like u/MyStutteringLife said, you voice matters. Keep moving forward. You got this.
