In 6th grade I was the only ‘lefty’ in my class. I thought it was pretty cool to be different, finally something about me was unique. But, I also remember that’s when I really started to notice how the world was really set up for right handers. It’s ok, as a lefty you learn to do a lot with your right hand. Now, fast forward to 10th grade when a social studies teacher told me I wasn’t really a lefty. I write with my left hand and I eat (use utensils) with my left hand. However, I throw right handed and bat right handed, so he concluded I was ambidextrous. I told him I wasn’t because I couldn’t do things equally well with both hands. His further conclusion was that since I did more things right handed than left handed I wasn’t truly left handed. I made one more comment to him which sent me to the principals office. We decided I needed to be in a different social studies class and that teacher was, yep a lefty. She told me to embrace my left handedness. So to all the lefties, today is YOUR day, embrace your left handedness (and ignore the naysayers)!
