So everyday I would get out of class from 1st- 6th grade they pulled me out of my ‘ non important subjects for an hour to learn the ‘r ‘ sound.  So therefore I do not know how to write in cursive, nobody taught me because that’s what class I got out of because they found it not important. I’m pretty sure that’s something I need too, like my signature is print and just really close together to make it look cursive…. it kind of sucks but oh well! The other day I was telling my English teacher about it and she thought I was lying so I had to show her then she offered me worksheets to help me but I’m a sophomore in high school with actual hard core classes cursive worksheets are the last thing I need. Another life changing thing that having a speech impediment caused me.

I’m ready for summer. Honestly I hate school so much I love sleeping, but since I come to school Monday – Friday I always have to wake up early. Then I love hanging out with my friends but during the week we basically have a time limit on how long we can hang out because we go to school 8 hours a day and our curfew is always sooner on school nights. This past weekend made me realize I’m beyond ready for summer.

So me and my friends are making a rap, but as you guys know I have a speech impediment… so i am going to have to watch what I say, because I can’t go to say something and not even be able to say it. I’m prolly just trippin over it big I still am going to have to watch what I can say in the rap.

The sound ‘ r’ isn’t the only sound someone can have trouble with. In elementary school in my speech class there was a kids who couldn’t say ‘ m’ ‘ th’ ‘s’ ‘n’ ‘w’. There’s all types of speech impediments someone can have, some are also really easy to fix and some are hard. It really just depends honestly.

I had a volleyball tournament this weekend and so we were being goofy a lot. So I bought Chex Mix and I was talking about them and I kept calling them ‘ chest ‘ and it was bugging my mom so she kept correcting me. So finally I just look at her and said “ mom I have a speech impediment “ and she said “ raegan there is no r sound in it shut up” me and my friends thought it was hilarious. My mom laughed too so She thought it was funny kind of…
