As a current graduate student, I often hear about the negative impacts that stuttering has on many people. I just wanted to say that I think it is great that you are able to view your stuttering as a positive feature. In doing this, you have proved that making the most of what you have can lead to many rewarding experiences in life. You mentioned that you went to speech therapy throughout your childhood and that your speech gradually got worse each year you returned from camp. Do you feel that your stuttering would have improved with lasting results if the emotional components, as well as the speech mechanics, of stuttering were addressed during that time?
