Now I can speak clearly

FROM THE TIME I was in grade school, I had a very severe case of stammering. My parents enrolled me with a speech therapist, and I went on a regular basis to take speech therapy from her. After about or two, the therapy was not resulting in any progress, and we discontinued it, although the stammering remained.

During high school, my stammering very much restricted my participation in class discussions. It limited, if not completely wiped out, any social life, because whenever I was in any situation that made me tense or nervous, the stammering would start up.

The condition was just as bad when I entered college. But the good news is that early in my freshman year, I met a fellow student, who later became my wife, and she was a student of Christian Science. A lot of our dates included long discussions about the teachings of Christian Science.
