March 26, 2008 personal diary for me

it’s easier to write what to talk

however I do love to talk only in

loud voice frees me quite from all the

impotence that I feel during the day

by not being able to say everything I want

I am afraid I am afraid of not being able

overcome this damn problem I have

fear of growing up with reaching the

university for work without having

I learned to communicate well, I’m afraid

that my children hear me talk about

this way I am very afraid

this is something that I wrote when I had

15 years and at that time of my life

everything revolved around fear fear of

I at heart is really to fear

want to say something and not be able to do it

Look how or why people look at me

weird or difference

I have enough women and be able to

say these three simple words though

do not believe it is the product of the fight more

great that has had during all my me

I started adapting very well to the four

years

My dads, well, I really do not remember

When was that but my parents say

that went to anxiety

five of every 100 children start

stutter

this usually happens between the two and

five years of those 51 like me

probably will continue to support the took

that character is realized by

involuntary interruptions in speech

that affect our common and

occasion and often often affect the

quality of life of children who

we started to has treated very well

we started with repetitions

prolongations or blockages these to

start does not usually cause surprise but

over time if they are not but they are

addressed by a specialist

starts to generate frustration and

we started to build strength and we started

make tension to get that single sound

You do not want to leave and often

people who listen to us without giving

account

they look at us weird or they rush us or they are not

They correct them or they tell us

calm breathe relax and well that

does not help us and so we are growing with

the perception that something in our

life is wrong that something in us is

wrong

little by little we are going let’s go

making more and more conscious do

about our holy death and how many

Sometimes that has brought us no rejection

it generates shame

we started with the fear of stuttering myself

so as not to try to mediate, he avoided talking

I remember being watching and doing

now in the at school for because

rightly I was coming out of the bathroom

when it is 200 to reach my turn

in group reading another thing that used to

to do was at the exhibitions

I was a day before I took grandmother

dipped in the shirt and will face me

to 23 for to inform me and not have to

If next day go to college

things were not very dif ferent what

I was most worried him go

first day of school and see if the

professor was of those who called

list do not have to say present front

to the whole hall of light

I put my dog

I used to say here me and if the teacher

small age that did not lift the

face sat me right at the desk

in front of him and do to try not to

say nothing and when I could not avoid a

situation avoided the word or the sound

what would I need worldwide

for example saying my name is something that

It cost me a lot and when I was going to buy

with rap and haizea teach what is your

name Luis and then be Mr. Luis or

that is ready and it is already

me as well as that

for example he began using synonym

time of circus school of my school eme

say ‘which car said auto and so had

a whole dictionary of synonyms for

use when something does not work out

I even sometimes asked for something from the menu that

it was easier for me to say something than I

really what day and fear to see anything

all my days

it’s normal and it’s very common for people

be afraid to speak in public not

imagine that fear but every time

go talk every time you speak for

phone every time they meet someone

every time there is a point in my life

where all he wanted was to talk

fluid I wanted to talk like a person

normal I go to my way of speaking and I

I got to hate myself for talking like that

as a child my parents took me to

psychologist to psychiatrists and therapists

neurologists clown workshops

acting the culture a lot of things

everything to try to stop stuttering

and it’s been a couple of years since I

I entered an international program that

offers courses for people hired

well thanks to the support of my family that

it is always there

You can enter after three days of

intensive training

I learned that I could control my

tatamuez learned the technique and consisted

in controlling my breathing to be able

speak more fluently and without

imagine it will reach that rise

is that he had always wanted all the

days doing my exercises

I’ve talked to something like darth

Vader breathing and required a lot

concentration but I came to give that

control and with that I started doing things

I had never done before like talking

in exhibition class and even to

speak public speaking and it was not

only that what changed totally

my my perspective but I knew I gave

mind that there were a lot of people who

he also stuttered like me people

that they had also missed class

also they like to say this

they had also changed even the

name for the first time I felt that there was

people who understood what really

it happened to me that I was not alone and that if

we want many we are many

also there I started to put in

support groups at the international level

people from diverse countries to even

summon people here in Lima to

form a support group in the

university and each person had their

history your fears your goals

his very particular way of speaking and of

world letter

I also learned to investigate if I win that

the tartan was a lot of things

less everything that I had always

thought for everyone is a disorder of the

speaks so complex that until the day of

today it is not known what is the exact cause

however, you already have certain

indications there is scientific evidence of

that there is a genetic basis that would make

some of us that some people

that we have more tendency to

tall dark than others

quoting to remove

this genetic base would be related

with the way our brain

develops neuronal connections

related to speech and language to the

once these co uk ‘conditions would have

certain difficulties for the flow

fast information and turn

they would be much more sensitive to be seen

affected by other activities such as

emotions

although these differences are there are

so light that they can make

we can talk sometimes with

fluency but the tendency to is also

a reality and I always thought that if

I supported it was my fault and I felt bad

they never hired me when I went to 12 10

job interviews and for weighing

have one of the highest notes in the

university if it is very at hand I was able

people there are many myths and stigmas

people think that we are

uneasy people anxious means like this

that’s why we try to stutter

it’s just a thought that this one that

is there and we have to overcome

because if we are incapable

Now I know what I did not have why

feel guilty about something that was not my

guilt and I did not have to feel

enjoyed something that you one way was

part of me

I started to get tired of practicing and

technique because sometimes not only

wants to talk and ya and I just left

I started talking and after a while

I felt that I started that I started

aa cake or again and one day I had to

expose in front of a lot of people and I did it and

also a lot do not imagine g

but I did it and I was not afraid anymore

shame I felt free today the

stuttering is a way part of me is

one more feature is a way of

talk and that does not cause me any

worries his action me

I really like the phrase by Carlos Rogers

what is the word

curious paradox is that when he accepted

just the way I am

then I can change and I felt that

from there I started to accept and embrace

I totally treated myself because I started

feel totally free

today I would not be the same person if the

they try very well accompanied throughout

my life would not be a better one worse

person just would not be me and I

like to make the person that I am

he has also taught me several things

has taught that every moment that each

fails every day is an opportunity to

better to improve you just have to

dare to try

If you try and you succeed, you win

trust if you do not gain experience but

you never lose you always win I stopped

try it many times and now it won

every day I go I already won

finally mens it was pointed out that all

We’re different

we all have particular clarities

difficulties and g of differences and that’s

what makes us unique

it’s part of who we are, that’s why

He advised them to accept and embrace their

differences that recognize it as part

of you already know really yours

because there is nothing more sincere that is

ourselves there is nothing more beautiful

to enjoy the freedom to be

totally out now ticos

Thank you
