I used to stutter（口吃）quite badly．I felt very 1 , like I was less of a human being．
I didn't have any 2 when I left special school．So I got a job as a trainee hotel porter．I enjoyed it because I was meeting new people and earning my own 3 ．I felt like a proper adult．But the other men 4 me mentally because of my disability．They'd imitate（模仿）me 5 because of my speech impediment（障碍）．I got very down．I was 6 inside．
The stepping stone to self-belief for me was 7 I got help from KeyRing—an organization which helps disabled people to live 8 ．I couldn't write very well, but I could 9 that．Apps on computers meant I could dictate（口授）my emails．I got the government 10 for disabled people in work．It paid for me to help with paperwork two mornings a week．
11 I heard about a job going at the human rights charity CHANGE．I got an 12 that got me the job of international project consultant．I travel all over the world to 13 professionals to work better with people with learning disabilities．This builds my 14 ．I lost my stutter in the end．
My learning disability was a bit of me, but it doesn't 15 me．It's just a label people put on me．It hasn't stopped me having a life．
