My name is Josiah, and I am 12 years old. Some of the things I like to do are playing video games and playing soccer. I also like to watch anime. The type of anime I like to watch is One Punch Man (OPM). Garou in OPM is kinda like my stuttering because he is fast and sneaky and strong. I mostly have blocks and repetitions. The biggest thing for me is I speak fast which causes me to stutter. I worked on some strategies that will help me get out of stuttering moments. I get nervous about stuttering when I talk to people I donʼt know. I feel most comfortable when I talk to people I know, and also my pets, because they donʼt judge me.
Stuttering has shaped me as a person by giving me determination and for me to never give up even though there are obstacles ahead of you. The advice I would give to kids that stutter is to never give up on their dreams and hope.

Hi, my name is Jackson, and I am 10 years old. I live on Lopez Island in Washington state. I am in 4th grade. I like to go herping; herping is searching for reptiles and amphibians. When I grow up, I want to be a herpetologist, that’s somebody who studies reptiles and amphibians. I also just learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube. I average around 1:25 seconds. I started to stutter when I was eight or nine years old. I also like to play chess and sometimes I go to chess tournaments. I don’t stutter that much but when I do, I don’t normally get bullied but here’s my advice to make your stuttering less out of control. I normally do light touch. It helps me a lot. I also have a pet leopard
gecko and I named it Noodle and I recently got it a bigger terrarium. I feed it almost every night. I like to ride my bike and sometimes I like to go to the skatepark and practice riding
my bike. I hope if you stutter this helps you a lot and stuttering is not all that bad because it makes you unique.
