What should I do? This is my first year in community college and I have majority of college classes online but only have one in person at 10AM and the teacher expects us to be sociable and always wants us to state out names but i have a stutter where my head twitches a little to get the word out(blockage)and every time i feel like others are looking at me weirdly as if they’ve never seen a person with a stutter before. My ride is also my sibling who hates waking up early, is always angry in the morning and always drops me off late. Should I just drop and replace the class with a fully online class so I don’t have to go through the embarrassment and making my sibling angry? Its not fully guaranteed I’ll get in a class so I might just mess up my education plan my counselor set up for me
