I am ambidextrous. I am one who was forced to use my right hand. At one time, I was told left handed people do not write well and do not get jobs where writing is a necessary part of a position. But, while in high school, I'd practice writing left handed and in college years I began to play different sports games (not on official teams) left handed. Later on, after receiving injuries where I was unable to use my right arm, I'm glad I defied those 'teachings' of 'must be right handed'! Since then, I use my left hand for most things but write 90% of the time right handed as it is the most legible of the two. But, I continue to practice making the left handed writing better. Unfortunately, I injured my left thumb and all it's joints a few years ago and it makes it a bit hard to write too long with that hand; I can't hold a pan of water, a dinner plate, etc. long as it hurts too much after awhile. The surgery I needed to fix the joints, etc. had a year long recovery time, time that I did not have to do so.
