I guess it is something he has to figure out in the next year. It did look like he had some sort of speech therapy to work on improving muscle strength and movement.Lori Melnitskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735237964262097447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257740749463734505.post-31815786728089815962010-01-03T03:53:43.361-05:002010-01-03T03:53:43.361-05:00I too have taken to telling potential employers or...I too have taken to telling potential employers or work partners that I stutter. Its still a new experience for me, but gets easier and easier.<br /><br />I had a hard time watching Dick Clark. I greatly admire him too, but I just felt for him, I felt his pain and sheer determination. And it was painful to watch and listen to him, because I was thinking, "are people making fun of him? are people saying he should hang it up?"<br /><br />To me, it wouldn't have been the same without him either, but god, what a struggle. I had tears in my eyes as I watched his courage and grit. Oh, to be that brave in front of millions.Pamhttp://www.stutterrockstar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257740749463734505.post-42841074348980474892010-01-02T23:37:45.357-05:002010-01-02T23:37:45.357-05:00Thanks Amy.

It's true, you should always be open with your potential employer or coworkers, because it makes your job experience much less tense. I definitely give a thumbs up to this blog. :)Preppygirl97https://www.blogger.com/profile/09228765545848857787noreply@blogger.com
