I was in the 6th grade at Quail Valley Elementary (QVE). Our class was writing reports on animals. I was a stutterer, and had been since I was 4 or 5 years old. I had picked "Sharks" to report on. I knew I would have to read my paper aloud to the class. When I turned the paper in to my teacher, Ms. R. Knowing that ;( I tried to make my paper as short as possible). She was a new teacher at QVE. Our principal was disabled, and couldn't walk, but she had no problem getting to each new teacher class and checking on the teacher.
The principal would roll around to each class with one of the school's new teachers and just sit there on her wheels and watch the class. I had finished my Sharks report and we were sharing our reports. When it came to my turn, I got up in front of the class, i smacked on my charming smile(at least i thought it was charming) and begin stuttering. Our principal rolls in and starts watching me. I could tell she is about to throw up from watching me stomp my feet and roll my head. Poor Ms. R. What will the Principal think of her now? One of her students can't even read. Unfortunately, my teacher didn't let me sit down. I had to sit there for 30 minutes and [try to] read my paper. I think finally she let me stop, the entire class was probably swimming in my tears by then. I have never felt so embarrased in my life
