When I think of the word Unsinkable, many things come to mind. I think of someone who doesn’t allow the challenge in front of them to dictate their destiny or where they will end up in life. I think of someone who doesn’t quit after hearing the word ‘’no’’. I think of someone who embraces who they are at the end of the day, and regardless of what other people may think, is proud of who they are.

Unsinkable people value what makes them unique and what separates them from others.

I would put myself in that category—I see myself as unsinkable. For those of you who may not know yet.

I’ve lived with a speech impediment from a very young age, which brought with it a battle I’ve dealt with internally. It’s not noticeable in all situations, and though it affects me to this day, I have come to fully embrace it and recognize it as a part of who I am. I’ve learned to accept that I am a work in progress, and that no matter what, I am capable of doing the things other people do. I continue to prove that to myself.
