re: #280 HappyWarrior
You did well. I would have had a much harder time if I had grown up in a different era to be honest with you because my penmanship is just awful. Likewise, I think had I been a bit younger, I probably would have been done better in K-12 school, I was much better academically in college, by then laptops were common to have in lectures.
penmanship: every report card came with a big red “F”
i was wildly inconsistent, and couldnt stay on a ruled line - that never changed to this day
learning to type was a godsend
absolutely no hand/eye coordination also affected many sports because…no aim
interestingly my fencing aim was spot on. no idea why
being an apparent poor athlete, well you know what that means for a boy growing up around lots of other more ‘capable’ boys
