As I was watching the video, I realized that I (I guess on a subconscious level) thought my stutter would go away or at least lessen a lot. Just like Roisin said “in the back of my mind.” Now I am going to be student teaching in the fall, and terrified how my speech is going to affect it and my grade. It really nice to know that other pws have the same thoughts, and that I am not alone.
Wow! Thats really all I can say, is wow. I can totally relate, as I have felt scared and isolated so many times with my stuttering. It can be so frightening in an impatient world that takes communication for granted.
Roisin is well on her way -and no matter where her stuttering journey takes her, she has already found strength,by being open and sharing with us.
I used to think that all would be better if I was totally fluent as well – but the world has a place for each of us.
