Hi Jeremy, Thank you for your reading of my paper! I would like to think that I have developed some level of fluency because of a positive attitude, and that has undeniably helped, but the truth is that I have made a commitment to stay on top of my stuttering and that started with returning to speech therapy a few years ago. It takes sacrifice and a good deal of willpower to go after hours when one may be tired. But two years ago I could barely say my own name...now on a good day, I can be almost 80 percent fluent. To be 100 percent fluent is akin to the asking the impossible. I can say though that being one who stutters means accepting ebbs and flows, and knowing you will have good days and bad. But also knowing you are resilient and aware that every day is a new chance to be outspoken is a great lesson to put to use every chance you can!
