aloud to the class. Andy is petrified. He has a stutter and speaking in front of groups
makes him very nervous. He seeks the help of his sister to get rid of his stutter,

and persistent practice, Andy perseveres and finds his own way to conquer his stutter,
using smooth speech during the morning announcements.
