Hey Russ, it's Sarah. Great article as usual! I always enjoy reading your stuff! :) Public speaking is something I NEVER thought I could or would do. Why the heck would I WANT to put myself through that kind of torture?! But, you know what? The first time I did it...I didn't die either! Can you believe it? I mean sure I get extremely nauseous before I get up there haha, but once I get started I find that I actually enjoy it. I'm pretty proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone & speaking to a group of students at SFA about stuttering. That was a big step for me. Plus, I loved getting up there & talking about my lovely covert stuttering with others in the NSA. And it's so important to remember that it's not about fluency...it's about communication. What an inspiration you are to all of us, Russ!! Thank you for sharing this! :)
