Although I think it is wonderful that this activity gives kids inspiration by letting them see that there are successful people who stutter, do you think there is a reason that some of these people are not more outspoken about the fact that they have stutters. I think it would be wonderful if some of the actors, because speech is the focus of their careers, were more verbal about their expierences. I was not even aware that Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson were stutters. I think it would be very inspirational to children if people in their position were more willing to talk about how they have overcome some of their struggles.
