Hello everyone;

I would like to share one of the greatest injustices that have been done to me because of my stuttering.

My English exam in college was oral. We entered the professor's cabinet two by two. I sat down with my colleague by me. I told the professor that I stutter but that I'd just gotten back from the US where I'd attended a regular American school (meaning that I'm good at it). She nodded her head and said that I start reading. It was pretty bad. The other colleague read ater me. The professor asked us both some questions, where my colleague once answered with "yes, she do". At the end of the exam I was given a C and my colleague was given a B. I protested, saying that I even dream in English sometimes, and that I'd attended a creative writing class in the US and wrote for the school newspaper... she wouldn't listen. She said "From what I've heard I cannot give you more." "But I stutter!!!", I yelled as she was saying "next". I thought of going to the dean and filing a complaint, but didn't... I left the grade there so I can show everybody "see, my English is terrible, I got a C in college!".

Was this molesting, anyone?
