I do believe I was supposed to be a lefty.

I swing a bat, hockey stick, golf club, etc to the left. But I throw and write with my right hand.

I happened to go to a Catholic Pre-School for one lone year where they taught us to write/hold a pencil correctly. I happened to write with my left hand at the time, but every time I went to write they would stop me and move it to my right hand. I think this was the start of it.

Then one day my brother came home with a baseball glove he found at the park that didn't fit him or his friend, so naturally it fell into my hands. It was for a right handed person. So I put it on and started throwing with the wrong arm. That stuck and now I'm right hand dominant but am left handed.

Oh, I also kick with my left foot preferred.

That's just... weird. You hear about racism but someone acting violent towards another for the hand they use... I wonder where the Westboro baptist church stands on this. You know they have to have an opinion.

They would probably have something to say on the matter. Some people believe left-handedness has connections to the devil. Not to mention the conatations of what less-developed societies used their left hands for (if you go to poorer countries or visit places like jungles DON'T shake with your left hand just trust me)

I was born left-handed, but my parents tried to make me ambidextrous when I was in the first grade, which backfired and now I can only do articulate stuff like write with my right hand.

It's interesting because a lot of teachers and left-handed people over the years have seen my write with my right hand and go "are you left handed"? I guess there's some inherent ways people use their hands that tells what their innate preference is.

I have a teacher that doesnt like lefties. He gave a little lecture about it. Also a simple google search will give you the info. Wikipedia is a good place to find it.
