"Are you doing that because it's National Stuttering Awareness Day?" I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: "So your stutter has magically disappeared?" I paused. I understood why he assumed this — I sounded quite articulate. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that's why I'd misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with.

Though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world. Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There's no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no "recovering" from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. The treatment for stutter shouldn't be centered around removing a person's stutter, but rather on reducing one's negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it.

As for me, I'd say that my stutter has not "magically disappeared" because I've simply found ways to conceal it. But I have a better therapy now — I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I wanted to speak from the bottom of my heart to the man, who looked at me hopefully: "__________"

— I understand, but have you tried to ________ ? She's been dealing with family issues.

—It was in a park ________ I came across our old friend Tom yesterday.

The sun was shining brightly during our PE class as we ran laps around the busy sports ground. With laughter and cheers all around me, I took a short break near the field's edge to catch my breath. It was then that I heard a faint mewing sound. Following the sound, I finally spotted a tiny kitten. It looked scared and hurt, its leg twisted at a strange angle.

"Hey, guys! Come here!" I called out to my classmates. They gathered around, their faces filled with concern. "We need to help it," said Sarah. We all agreed. Carefully, I picked up the kitten, feeling its tiny body shake in my hands. It was so small and weak.

We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher, Mr. Johnson. "Mr. Johnson, we found this poor kitten, and it seems badly hurt," I said, holding it out to him. He looked at the kitten and then at us, a serious expression crossing his face. "Let me call the school nurse Mrs. Thompson," he said.

Before Mrs. Thompson came, we quickly made a makeshift stretcher (临时扭架) using a towel and two sticks, and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr. Johnson's direction. A moment later, Mrs. Thompson came running with a first aid kit. As she examined the kitten, we all held our breath, "It looks like it has a broken leg," she said. "We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately." Mr. Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over. Then, he and Mrs. Thompson took the kitten to the vet.

The rest of the day was a blur. We could only think about the kitten, hoping it would be fine.
