Top 10 Lists

What did you love most about the 2010 NSA conference?

  Pam Mertz

1. Meeting Face book and Twitter friends for the first time in person
2. Attending a teen workshop and participating and feeling welcome in a small group discussion about fear with fearless teens
3. Hanging out Friday night with so many new friends, especially first timers. We will not wait till next year, we will stay connected throughout the year.
4. Recording videos of three teens and a twenty-something who told their stories with grace and dignity, knowing it will help others needing support. (Stay tuned- they will soon be on the NSA website).
5. Seeing the wrist bands that say Stutter Like A Rock Star, since my blog and Twitter handle has been StutterRockStar for almost two years.
6. Hearing true NSA All-Stars tell their heartfelt stories that resonated with all of us.
7. Witnessing the tremendous courage of so many people who so totally put them selves out there - especially Jamie H at closing ceremonies
8. Feeling choked up and happy at same time watching Mike Bauer's amazing video montage at closing ceremony. He so captured the heart and soul of NSA
9. Accepting the Adult Chapter of the Year award for my friends from Albany NY who couldn't make it in person but were ther in spirit
10. Sharing a deeply personal part of my story at a workshop, feeling emotional and vulnerable, and really being ok with it, because we all support each other in this special family.

Proud to stutter like a rock star!
