When I saw this quote I absolutely had to read your story! I've always lived by this quote because I was picked on quite a bit in middle school to the point where I almost switched schools and because I thought of this quote while completing an assignment I had to participate in, in my undergraduate course. I'm currently learning quite a lot about stuttering in one of my undergraduate courses and an activity we had to do was to go out in public and stutter in 3 different places. There were some instances in my places where people were rude, and then there was one lady who was extremely nice and patient. When I was leaving one of the locations I was at, I told myself that the man who was rude doesn't matter because he was so rude and to just forget about him. So it definitely made me smile when reading your story! I think it's so great that you found your voice, and were able to do it in a setting you would feel more comfortable in so you weren't forced. Best of luck to you in your undergraduate years!
