The left handers have always been the low man on the totem pole. I’ve heard stories about people being forced to be right handed because the nun wanted all of her classes to look neat and tidy, and if there was someone writing with the “wrong” hand(it's not wrong its my left) it was more than she could stand.
I myself was robbed of a life with a left hand. I am left handed, but I write with my right hand. I am left handed!
Unbeknownst to me since I was too young, my teacher put my left hand in a sling to stop me from writing with that horrible left hand. I found this out by looking at a picture a friend of my parents took when they were at my school. I was given a sling contraption that pinned my left hand to my chest. Suddenly, I understood why my writing was so bad, and writing with pencils and pens have never felt “right”, it's because thy're suppose to be in my left hand.
What to do
Re-teach your left hand brain. You’d be surprised on how quickly it returns. You are a left handed person whether you like it or not. You have been turned right handed, so your brain has had to create underdeveloped neurons. Once you begin writing with your left hand you will reestablish old thoughts and ideas into your left hand brain. Within a few days of studying and working on it, you will find you’re doing great, and can right with your left hand again!
Your brain remembers how to write, and slowly your left hand will be your better hand. Little by little your left hand will come back to its old self before they decided you shouldn’t use it. You will be back to that feeling that everyone feels when they pick something up with the correct hand. It’s a truly liberating experience.
