Dear Stuttering Foundation,
My name is Sophina and I’m 10 years old. I like playing Fortnite, Minecraft, and other video games with my big brother, Antonio. I’m the youngest out of four siblings. I stutter a lot but I’m kind of used to it. My stuttering makes me nervous and shy around new people sometimes because I can never say the things I want to. I’m just like you all but I’m special in a different kind of way. My speech teacher, Mrs. E., helps me with my speech, after all, that’s her job, right? She is such a great inspiration.
My most used technique is “Singing Out My Words” because I feel more comfortable with it. I have a speech journal with all of the things I’m learning to help me with my speech.
These things help me. I get my stuttering from my Mommy and Daddy. They both stuttered. I love stuttering because it makes me feel really special sometimes.
Sophina, 10 Westerville, OH
