I stuttered as a child. I remember having to prepare myself saying "STOP" miles away before I reach my destination in a public transportation. I also remembered that my sis had to hit me roughly on my back so that I continued what I was about to say. Those were tough times.

What about now? Well,...my family's amazement on me will never stop, I guess. I mean,...I was like that and now I am a trainer??????

I speak in front of people now. But does that mean I passed my stuttering times? Not really. At times I get stuttered but I am more in control, now. It's a hardwork I have to say.

The article I read mentioned about causes and also tips in handling children who stutter. I have to say that I know exactly why I was like that (cant tell you here, though--too private) and I also find out that my family did SOME of the tips to help me out. However, the rest of the recovery were purely an individual effort and God's bless. Guys, if you happen to have a stuttering child or friend,...be nice to them, ok. They are experienceing hardships, you know.

I just hope that one day this world will be stutter free. I mean what;s the use of being in a free country while you can't even pass the barrier of being stutter?
