I found out abut the NSA in 2000. When people told me about the national conference and how awesome it was, I did not believe them. I could not see how going to some hotel, with 500 plus people who stutter would do me any good. But I was totaly wrong. My first conference was in Boston and that change my life. I started to believe that it is ok to stutter and that I was not alone. Walking the Freedom trail in Boston made me see that there truely is freedom in stuttering. I have the freedom to use my voice even though it does not always work the way i want it to. The NSA taught me that just because I stutter does not mean that I am worthless. You know, if God pick Moses (who stutter) to lead his people for 40 years, then I to can lead the life I want and not the life someone else says I should lead. I am not a NSA chapter leader in Wisconsin.
