Hi, my name is Lucas. I am ten years old, and I am in fourth grade. I live in Elkhart.
I like soccer, Kirby, and drawing, and my favorite subjects are art and math. When I grow up, I want to be an artist and work for a company that designs video games.
My drawing is Kirby. Kirby is in a lot of different games. I like him because he’s cute, powerful, and puffy. I drew Sword Kirby and Bandana Waddledee fl ying. I like to play with my friends at their house and wrestle.
Sometimes I stutter when I’m nervous and I go to a speech therapist, where I learn to stretch my speech. I’m learning now to use light contact and use pauses.

Hi, I am Chase. I am eight years old. My favorite color is green. I love trampolines. I want to be a soccer player, tell jokes, clown, diver, doctor,
policeman, and work as a firefighter, and I stutter. If you’re nervous, just believe in yourself. Like my first time when I went to a speech, I was scared like you so do not be afraid to let you show yourself. If you ever are down, just say “I got this.” Just face your fears. I was so scared the first time I went to speech. Everyone makes mistakes when they talk. There are different kinds of stuttering, like blocks, prolongations and whole word repetitions. I love going to speech and I love stuttering. It is scary, but fun. You can play with monkey noodles to help. They stretch, so that is why it helps. We have game days and get prizes if you get like 4 or 5 stickers.
I got better at stuttering but soon I will be like a bird flapping its wings to freedom and I will graduate from this group. If you
are scared, say "I got this, believe I am brave, I am smart, I am kind, I love speech and talking about stuttering" and you will too! Tell your family that you want to go to speech!
