Thank you very much for posting your thoughts- you are truly an inspiration. I was very much moved by your paper, and often found myself applying some of your thoughts to my own life. Although I do not stutter, I can relate to your description of stepping out of the 'comfort zone' that we tend to create for ourselves. I can only imagine how much strength and persistence it must have taken you to finally step out of your comfort zone, in seeing stuttering as a part of your life (and not something you allow to entirely control it). We tend to define who we are by external expectations or demands, rather than by who we really are inside. I congratulate you for being able to take a stand for yourself. You are truly an inspiration, especially to people everywhere who stutter. -Roya
