Eva launches MySpace page
Eva Woolwine of Ashland, Kan., is on the go as always, but this busy gal checked in with us and agreed to manage our new MySpace page!
We first met Eva in the Summer 2005 Stuttering Foundation newsletter when she was the 18 year-old reigning Miss Garden City and on her way to the Miss Kansas pageant.
Since then, she’s been in and out of pageants receiving accolades, pursuing her education, and speaking out tirelessly to educate the public about stuttering. She is living proof that stuttering does not have to hold you back!
Having graduated last May from Pratt Community College with an Associate’s degree, Eva is attending Northwestern State University in Alva, Oka., this fall. Her goal is a teaching degree in elementary education. In addition to baby-sitting and working part-time in her dad’s law firm, this past summer Eva worked at a local preschool for children with special needs. She told us, “One of the little boys in my class stuttered. I enjoyed working with him and encouraging him. It showed me that teaching really is my calling.”
Eva tells us she still has many opportunities for speaking engagements and is able to inform and educate the public about stuttering.
She also attended the National Stuttering Association convention last summer with her family in Atlanta. “It’s a good chance to offer and receive support along side other stutterers. And that’s why I’m so excited to create and manage the Foundation’s MySpace page! One of the goals is to offer young people and teens a chance to share experiences, feelings, and helpful information for success!”
At this rate, Eva may one day join our long list of Famous People Who Stutter! |
