Vice President Biden has spoken openly — and courageously, in my view — about the pain of his severe childhood stutter. As I grew older, I learned to manage and overcome my stuttering, through much hard work and intense focus. I joined the church choir, and found that singing helped me to practice controlling my breath, and the formation of words. The fact that I once stuttered did not keep me from being a successful U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, an airline pilot, or even a public speaker. Ignore kids (and adults) who are mean, or don’t know what it feels like to stutter.
