How Do I Write

As a left-handed I have my own writing style. As I write, I turn my paper to the left, angled at about 45 degrees. Although my hand is not in a hook position, I hold my pencil towards me then I write straight rising to about 15 degrees. It's like when you see me writing, the direction of my stroke is rising and my writing text is in italic. Nobody had taught me to write this way since my childhood, not even my parents because they let me do my own thing just as long as I can write correctly. And in school, teachers taught me to write but they let me write in the way I am comfortable with.

When I came to school for the first time which in kindergarten, I was so excited that I walked for a kilometer daily just to get to school. And I did it throughout the school year, I walked my way to school one kilometer back and forth daily, and it was nothing for me as a six year old kindergarten. And there are only two things I love to do at school, writing my name and drawing shapes. Loving to do these things leads me to finish my kindergarten with the "Best in Writing" award, my first achievement.

I write this way simply because it is a comfortable way for me. To explain further, the main reason of this is that I can see my writing in this manner.

Many folks say that left-handed persons possess great talents. I never did take this seriously because there are a lot of talented people are right -handed. Until recently, I found that most great artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, great leaders like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar are all left-handed. And in my own observation, I also realized that most left-handed have great talents. Other people argue with this but I don’t want to because no matter what the reason is, this interesting phenomenon inspires me. And I know myself that I have a great talent too that needs cultivation.
