I've been stuttering since I was 3. Last month, I hosted a webinar! I conducted and navigated an entire panel session, and now I am going to do it 5 more times! Last year, I was coordinating an event in front of 200 people! All with the stutter! I have never had any leadership experience which is a major roadblock in my MBA admit inspirations. The guy who told me he loved him, left me 3 months ago. I suspect one of the reasons was my speech. I was a wonderful partner, but I wasn't fitting in his criteria of his ideal future partner! He never said this to my face, but we stutterers are very perceptive. Life is never going to be easy, I'll face the smirks of people all my life. I might never get chosen by the person I like. But I hosted a webinar, all alone, stuttered all the way, and will do it again. I am ready to die as a failure who never quit, than a person who never tried. Bring it on!!
