Hello! Thank you for your comments. To be quite honest, my desire to motivate and help others is owed all entirely to the greatest love of my life, the National Stuttering Association. I attended their annual conference in Long Beach, Calif., and I participated in interactive workshops that forever changed my outlook on stuttering and the difference between communicating and speaking. I felt for the longest time that my stuttering was a curse, but I have come to know that my stuttering is my greatest power. When you face adversity, you can either accept it for what it is or you can refuse to surrender and fight back with everything you have, and help others face the same challenges you do. It is so empowering to make a difference and support teammates around the world who stutter! Check out http://www.westutter.org!-SK
