I’m never embarrassed of my stutter nor should you be. It’s what makes you stand out of the usual candidates they’re seeing and if you have some real talent to offer I’m sure they’ll give you the job ...

I like the way that you see it - just because it has always been a part of us doesn't mean we can't (and shouldn't) change it to improve ourselves...

Some of my friends in high school would make fun of me and I was to embarrass to say I have a speech impediment. I also was a lot more confident in myself back then so I rarely stuttered. Now I’m an a...
