Morgan was teased throughout her early years of school for her stutter. She developed social anxiety and often asked her twin sister to speak for her. But then in high school she made a nice group of friends who gave her a little confidence. She decided to run for class president. She had to give a speech in front of the whole school. The speeches were recorded and then played in classes. That means she had to watch and listen as her peers listened to her speech (and her stutter). She cringed through as she watched other listen to her speak. But then something incredible happened. The kids LOVED her speech and she won. They voted her as class president. She couldn’t believe it and she started to speak up more, and became less impacted by people’s hurtful comments. She even had the confidence to go to college on her own, as opposed to with her twin. In high school, before heading to college, she wrote an open letter to those who will meet her for the first time. Here it is: https://theunsealed.com/this-is-why-my-stutter-wont-stop-me/
