North Carolina. I am 12 years old, and I am a person that stutters. I like to make music
production on my iPad. I also play drums and alto saxophone and play in my school band. I like playing games with my cousin and I like to shop on Amazon. My favorite movie is The Secret Life of Pets. I like to watch videos of people making music and traveling and exploring. I also like to travel and go see my grandfather in Florida every summer and Christmas. I am a very social, friendly person and have lots of friends. My friends are always patient with me when I have moments of stuttering and that means a lot to me. I have 2 best friends that really, really respect my speech.

Hi, my name is Annika. I like to play soccer and run around with friends at recess. My favorite colors are black, violet, white, and gray.

I made another one called “Speed Bumps” which is when I am using part of a word or whole word repetitions. When I am going over speed bumps, I think about my cancelations and
easy onsets, but I call it “landing the plane and then taking off smoothly.” Ms. Anne says these are good analogies and suggested I
write and tell you about them. I hope you find these methods to be helpful.
