I'm ready to overcome this. I'm not letting stuttering run my life anymore. For the past 4 years, I've been obsessing over my stutter. It made me even more insecure, and I even chose my major (sign language) due to the fact that I barely have to do any talking. Recently, I've noticed that I'm not scared or anxious to do certain things anymore. I can go through the drive thru confidently, and I'm not hesitant to make and answer phone calls. Last month, I got the news that I got kicked out of school due to a low GPA. I knew that I wasn't motivated enough to finish the sign language program, yet I stayed in school because my parents would've killed me if I dropped out. (of course that didn't work out, also I still haven't told them that I've been kicked out of school) Still, I failed miserably. Also for the program I couldn't get past the second class, and that discouraged me. I knew that I didn't want to do this anymore but I didn't know what else to do with my life either. My heart wasn't in it but I kept on thinking "what jobs are great for a stutterer?" Fast forward to last week, I went on a campus tour with a friend who was looking to transfer. We went through all the programs throughout the school, but the one I got mainly interested in was cosmetology. A felt a sense of joy as soon as I walked into the room and saw students doing hair and nails. My friend even said that she saw the way my face lit up when we were in there. Now I've made my decision. I'm going to pursue cosmetology. I love doing my hair and this is a great opportunity for me to learn how to do other people's. I've also learned how to not let my stutter get in the way of me living life to the fullest. I'm tired of not trying new opportunities just because of my speech.
