Now, 5 years ago I wouldn't have said that but the NSA has helped me to own my stutter (since only 1% of the world stutters) and it has helped me to understand that everyone has something that they struggle with. I bring knowledge and passion to the table. You can struggle with it, or you can OWN it! I have chosen to own it. 19:59:54 From adam werth to Everyone: PULL THE WISHBONE!!!! 20:00:00 From Sharon Arslanian to Everyone: Will this program go on YouTube? 20:00:01 From anabel augustin to Everyone: i am more empathetic as a person who stutters, more understanding, better listener, and i can relate to people on a deeper level who are struggling. 20:00:02 From Christian Ting to Everyone: Y’all are so amazing.
