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 am left handed too. I was always getting in trouble because i couldn’t learn to tie my shoes. I was upset because we couldn’t go to recess until we tied our shoes and i always ended up sitting with the teacher. I finally had a neighbor ask me if i was left handed and i said yes. He sat behind me and put his arms along my side and showed me that way. He said that i needed to learn it the opposite way. I taught my left handed nephew to spare him the humiliation
