Hi, I am Jeremiah, and I am 9 years old. I have stuttered since I was 4. When I stutter, I feel mad and embarrassed. I use easy onset to make my speech more clear. I’ve learned a lot in speech therapy, such as strategies and ways to make my speech better. I like to play video games and play outside. For the past 5 years, I have learned that it is very okay to stutter. People make fun of me, but I just ignore them. Nobody is perfect, so I just forgive them and let my anger go. I continue to say what I want to say even though I stutter. For the past 5 years, my speech progress has been getting better. My advice to you is to never give up on your dream, try your best, and take a deep breath when speaking. When you fall down on your dream, get up and keep going.
P.S. Rise up from the ashes. Keep moving forward. My secret is to keep on praying and believe your speech will get better. Do not give up.

Hi, my name is Jacob. I am seven years old. I live in Ohio with my family. I like to play Roblox and play with my dinosaurs. I get stuck on my words and sounds sometimes. When I get stuck on my words, I use stretchy speech and easy onsets to speak clearer. Don’t get discouraged because everyone gets stuck on
their words sometimes.

Hi, my name is Aiden. I like sports and I stutter. It feels like you just can’t get your words out. You keep trying but it gets worse. It feels like you don’t get anything done. And, you know Joe Biden stutters. I also feel ashamed when I make a mistake like when I stutter. It helps when I calm down because I get steady and more ready. The strategy I mostly use is pull out because I pull out of a sentence. It’s easy because I say a word and I pull out of it. I just do it again and again until I don’t stutter.
