I believe I can fly



I am a stammerer .I stumble on words, I get a block. But I have started believing myself. I want to be a lecturer interacting night n day with my students. these are few lines from a song” I believe I can fly" which inspired me to see this dream despite being a stammerer.

I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky,

I think about it every night and day

Spread my wings and fly away.....

See I was on the verge of breaking down

Sometimes silence can be so loud

There are miracles in life I must achieve

But first I know it starts inside...."

Since childhood I stammer. During my early childhood I was very shy and introvert and I used to lock myself up in the washroom whenever anyone used to visit my place.

During my schooldays, I used to write scripts for the class assemblies but never participated. I only used to direct them and search for the perfect emotion with which I had written it n wanted in the dialogue delivery. I used to ask my fellow classmates to imitate the emotion but I never had the guts the play any role on stage.

Taking parts in street plays n debates used to fascinate me a lot but I was very reluctant. Neither my teachers ever showed confidence in me nor I ever came forward. But during my 12th standard there was a compulsory presentation. For that I practised a lot and kept myself updated with all the information about the topic which gave me confidence. I presented in front of my 150 batch mates, even though stammered but I dint loose my confidence I just carried on. Everybody was astonished & then there was a round of applause. My teachers complimented me by saying" where have you been all these years".

But after this I dint stop.

Even today I stammer. I am pursuing my master’s n looking forward to be a lecturer. Yes I stammerer, this can’t stop me from being what i want to be. I believe in the almighty above and myself.Cheers!!
