Hello Cathy, After I read your paper, I began to visualize the painful struggles you experienced trying to hide your stutter. It can be very frightening to feel as you did and not want to share it with anyone. When I read it, I had flashbacks to the song "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, and one lyric in particular: "I don't want the world to see me, because I don't think they'd understand. When everything is made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am." Well, I can say emphatically we, at the NSA, know who you are and you are coming into your own. I hope your journey continues and by your work with the NSA, you are also a big inspiration to those who struggle with covert stuttering. I am proud to call you a teammate at the NSA. Steven Kaufman
