Hi Jo, You asked a really good question. I have been a speech-language pathologist for 32 years and I think I am even more excited today about my work than I was when I first began my career. The thing I like best is meeting with such interesting and diverse people and families and realizing that I can learn something new from them everyday. Also, as a person who stutters and as a speech-language pathologist, I really like the stuttering community. There are so many good people who are committed to understanding stuttering. Did you know that there are people who stutter all over the world? As I write this to you, I am in the Czech Republic where I am working with people who stutter, teaching other stuttering specialists, meeting lots of new people, and learning so many new things. When you get older, maybe you will want to become a speech-language pathologist too. Good luck to you and keep asking such good questions. David Shapiro
