When I was in the Philippines, I was remembered my English teacher, I was fortunate a teacher who was very compassionate and caring towards my stuttering. She did everything in her power to make me feel comfortable when I had to recite in front of the class. I can remember giving an oral presentation and she told me that when I got stuck on a word, I could write on the blackboard. The first few times that I did this, it was kind of funny and I joked about it. The further into my presentation I got, the more blackboards filled up with words, which I was unable to say. The more I wrote, the more embarrassed I became and the worse my stuttering became. What had become an attempt by this caring teacher to help me in the best way she knew how had become a complete disaster. After class we had a little talk about what happened and what she and I could do next time I had to speak in the class.
My school experiences…. I know times have really changed for the better.I will be a better speaker one day.

This is an amazing story, Raquel. I'm glad you were able to understand that your teacher was trying to help, not humiliate you. How old were you?
