A Resolution

  I have been stuttering since I was 3 years old.
 Its been years, but Ive finally realized I should work on my stutter again. Ive recently got hired as a waitress and at the interview I honestly told my boss that I stuttered, she listened and seemed to be ok with it, she even let me work in the kitchen in the mean time, until I get my bearings.

  I was also inspired by watching this tv show called "MTV- I Stutter"; a documentary show focusing on 3 people who stutter, and how they get on in life etc.

  One of the big inspirations I got from watching it, was when one of the main people in the show, named Tim, who has a severe stutter problem, tries to get a job, and how he succeeds in doing so, by honestly telling the employer that he stuttered. The employer hired him for his good personality in the end, and Tim was able to pay his rent as well as see a SLP.
 The other two main characters in the show also improve, through their own challenges while facing their stutter.
 I recommend it to any stutterer out there. I think its a big motivation :)
  Here is part 1 of the show, if your interested, you can find the other 2 parts of the show on youtube.

 By watching this show, I felt I can try too, by facing my stutter once and for all..(not that im making much progress), by accepting my stutter problem.
Its ironic how I was hired as well, by opening up to my boss too about my stutter.

 I feel dealing head on with my stutter has made me feel better about myself, as a person, and stronger; like im dealing with something important for my own sake; like I found a piece of my self that was in hiding.

  Im hoping to someday become a SLP, who stutters.. lol but Im hoping my clients wont see my stutter as a bad thing... thats what Im worried about the most in having a career as a SLP.
  But Im trying to stay in high spirits about my goal :)
 Ive also heard that there are many SLP`s that stutter :3

 I think making this resolution about myself, can help me grow (hopefully) in many ways. I feel this problem, might be the secret in to recreating myself and helping myself to like myself as I am, instead of living life in my shadow.
I hope to stutter with confidence someday... <3 To be able to help other kids and adults who stutter.
