cleft and Speech and effects on my job hunt   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #104 of 810 |
I thought this may be a good and safe place to vent. I'm 23 I was
born with a cleft I had the surgery at age 3, my speech I'll be blunt
less then par till ones ear adjusts, I've had speech therapy my whole
life my doctors say its as good as it'll get.
I'm a college grad and with my speech and the job market right now,
my job hunt is going down and down. I keep getting asked do you have
a cold. Is a cold making it worse? This is after I explain it, any
support or advice would be great!

Thanks,
Elana
