For as long as I can remember I’ve had a stutter. Growing up was very difficult at times, but I got through it. I've had many ups and downs over the years, but I got through them. My speech has improved a lot and I would consider it mild at this point. I can mask it pretty well, but it comes out every now and then.
Now while my speech has improved overly the years, I still have to avoid certain situations and words that I know for certain I will block on...which is very frustrating.
I am currently 22 and will be finishing college in the next couple months and now must look for a "real" job. I have done VERY well in school with a high GPA and scholarships...I feel as if I am very smart and deserve a good job. But at the same time I constantly doubt myself because of my stuttering.
I have never taken a speech therapy course even though my parents always pushed me when I was younger. I have considered taking one now, but I am not sure how much I can benefit from.
Thanks
