Left handed

Seems a teacher made major deal about student that wrote left handed, insisted he write with right hand.
When I started school (1942), I wrote with my left hand. My teacher insisted I wright with my right hand.
So, I picked up the pencil with my write hand, and started writing from RIGHT TO LEFT. Did right good at it too. However, the teacher didn't like it so she let me write left handed from then on.

I was right handed once, but I broke my arm twice before I was 7. I was in the second grade and they made me write with my left hand while my broken arm was in a cast. When it was taken off, I could only write backwards with my right hand. Switched to my left and have written with my left hand ever since.
