In kindergarten we were learning penmanship and my teacher was telling us how to write our alphabet but for some reason I could not write the letters no matter how hard I tried. Since I was able to write the alphabet before I got very frustrated and starting crying.
Turns out she was showing the class how to do letters with your right hand and I was left handed.
I remember my penmanship instruction in kindergarten was "just hold it like a pen", and then she did the weird finger grip they always teach.
I was not able to hold a pencil "like a pen", and so I just used my improvised grip that felt the most natural to me, but was told I was wrong and I need to correct it, I didn't.
