Get The Stuttering Foundation of America's book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" and work through the steps diligently until you are master of your speaking. Many others have done it, and you can, too.

I stammer, so, believe me when I say that there is no hope for you tomorrow. : ) I have many excellent excuses, though, for legitimately getting out of the speech. But, if you survive tomorrow, I STRONGLY recommend that you contact Toastmasters International and join that outstanding, fun, easy little club and get over your stutter or stammer speech-giving fears in like . . . three meetings? It's that cool. Here's the link to their website to learn more. As for tomorrow, just be yourself, stutter, warts and all, and you'll be fine. Your classmates and teacher already know you stutter. So, whenever it happens, just toss a hearty smile at your audience, roll your eyes, and begin where you left off. Make what you have to say be more interesting than how you say it. Best of luck.
