Hi, my name is Samar and I am in 3rd


grade. I also have speech problems. My speech teacher is Ms. Katie. When I was in 1st grade, a lot of people would question me about why I would stutter. Sometimes it would get really annoying, especially when people would make fun of me. I did not really care about what they said.


My favorite games are Roblox and Minecraft. I also like to code and create games. When I am coding or playing games I do not really stutter that much because I am focused on the game. I am also good at sketching and drawing. When I am doing either, I am also calm.


A strategy that I use is to imagine drawing a picture of a mountain. When I am going up the mountain, I take a deep breath and when I am going down, I say my sentence. That helps my speech.


I stay positive and focused on what I enjoy to not let my speech problems bother me.


Samar, 8, San Jose, CA 24
