Hi Carmen. I absolutely feared and hated school and I tried to stay away from it as long as possible. Even talking about stuttering in school 20 years later, was fearful, although I had no problems with talking about stuttering in front of groups of people anymore. The class room itself gave me the creeps. So me standing in front of the class and loving it, was a utopia for me. I now realize it's all about programming the mind (as I learned in NLP). I (and those around me) programmed myself during all my school years, that school was a horror situation. When I went back to school 20 years later, the reactions I got were so new and unusual, it reprogrammed my mind into a positive school situation. People understanding, cheering and putting me forward in stead of in a corner. Now my mind is programmed that, as soon as I enter the class room, that feeling of success flows through my mind instead of that feeling of failure and I can recall that feeling even in other hard situations. I can even recall the feeling and success rate of a DAF. Not for a longer time and not in all situations, but it's getting better and better. I have one other situation I stutter tremendously, which is now on national radio and on the internet since this morning: phone interviews. But as they are about stuttering, I couldn't care less. :-) Thanks for your uplifting words and keep talking. Anita
