“All-Star” with a Goal!


Hello, my name is Yug. I’m in 3rd grade and I am 9 years old. I go to Flickinger Elementary in Michigan. This month I was picked by my principal as a student “All-Star.” I started stuttering when I was little. I come to speech every Monday during second recess. My speech teacher teaches me strategies. Two of my favorite


strategies are pausing and full breath. I think these strategies help me to be the most fluent. My goal is to finish speech by 4th


grade. I know that I can control my speech and speech therapy has helped me learn the best ways to do it.

Make Your Dreams Come True


Stuttering is not an easy thing to deal with. But you shouldn’t be angry that you stutter, it is what makes you unique. But other people might not think so, therefore you would get bullied. If you get bullied don’t get sad about it, just ignore them. Also you can say “so what” if they are bullying you. That’s their opinion, that is what they think, and don’t make it get you down in the dumps. Just ignore them and go on with your day. Remember that’s their opinion not yours so who cares what they say. That’s their train of thought and don’t let it affect you.

P.S. Never let stuttering ruin your dreams just push though the hard spots and with hard work and determination you will probably make your dreams come true.
