I don't disagree with you one bit, this is exactly my point. My stutter seems to currently be in a pretty severe level at this point in life, I think perhaps due to stress and upcoming big important life events. I do not believe I have any right or place as a president at my current point, though I don't believe it should preclude me--- GIVEN I am able to control it, and have it's outward appearance to be relatively minor, and imperceptible at most times. ​ All stutters know how important the psychological aspect can be to our fluency, and to me that is realizing this is a lifelong battle, yet one I'm not afraid or embarrassed about. Yet I realize that I can't force someone to hire me, and they ought to choose the best candidate. I hope and pray my skills and talents shine through my sometimes poor fluency, and thus far I have been able to find gainful employment, and find some success in this life. ​ The fact I got downvoted into oblivion shows the mindset around here, and perhaps the same exact mindset holding others back from their truest potential in this life. I get motivated by someone telling me I'm not good enough, so I can then turn around and prove them wrong. This may not work for everyone, but to me "grit" is all that matters when faced with such a daily cross such as a stutter. Go out, conquer the world, don't let anyone tell you that you're not good enough, but when faced with failure accept your faults and don't lash out at someone else for not wanting to deal with your stutter. They don't owe you anything.
