Forced To Hand Write

I was told to hand write about the experience of writing. One sentence in and I was already hating it. I was basically forced to use the simplest words I know because I was not sure if I could spell the more complicated words correctly. I was two sentences in before making a mistake which then I had to scratch over/erase. This only lead to one messy-looking assignment and that made me sad. It's not that I'm unable to hand write, I just didn't do it in a long time, meaning I've lost my "touch".

I think that hand writing is like riding a bicycle. When I was younger, I'd ride a bike everyday so I was really good at it and I could do some tricks occasionally. If I was to ride a bike today, I would be able to do it, but I wouldn't be as good and confident and I most definitely wouldn't be able to do any stunts. I am sure that if I was hand writing regularly, I'd be way better at it.

What I find really interesting is the fact that Helen Keller, who was both blind and deaf, wrote so well. She had so many disadvantages but she didn't let that stop her. She would take much longer to learn a word and I'm not even going to mention the way she had to proof read what she wrote. She was definitely a very unique individual.

At the end of my hand writing assignment, I was very disappointed by the fact that I used so many simple sentences. I also repeated many words which also shows my lack of skill.
