Wonderful post! I can relate to almost everything you said (except the part you mentioned that you almost forgot about your stutter) and I’m really inspired by your story. Being in the second year of college myself, I really struggled with whether I should tell other people (especially professors) about my stutter or just try to hide it like I did before. Due to covid many of my exams will be conducted orally via meeting apps and I’m starting to get really nervous and frightened that my stutter will be perceived as lack of knowledge/confidence by my professors. So I’m starting to think that the best thing I can do is to let them know in advance and hope they will understand. Cheers!
