Hi, I am Olivia. I am 13 years old. I have one sister, two pets, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I stutter most of the time. Stuttering is when you can’t get a word out when you are saying something in a sentence. I use easy onsets, pausing, and square breathing to help with my stuttering. It is okay to stutter sometimes. I play the piano and the clarinet. I am a cheerleader. I want to be a vet when I grow up to help pets. I play video games like Mario, Sonic, Pokémon, and many other video games. I have been challenged to Monopoly by my family to see how much money and properties we have to win the game. My favorite animal is a penguin. My least favorite animal is a snake. I hope you can stay confident of your stuttering.

Hi! My name is Jacob. I am in first grade. I like to eat chocolate and ride in cars. I also love cats, pizza, and games. When I grow up, I want to be a mechanic because my dad does it. Sometimes I stutter. The strategy that helps me the most is east starts. In speech class I learned about how to make a pacer board.

My name is Zaelen and I am 10 years old. I live in Vermont. I love playing sports such as soccer, basketball, and football. Stuttering to me feels like trying to take a three pointer with one second left in the finals when you are down by two points. My favorite sports teams are the Minnesota Vikings, Liverpool FC, and the Boston Celtics. If I could give advice to anyone it would be to ignore any bullies and just go on with your life and have a good time. Zaelen, 10, Burlington, VT
