LISA POV
I had created a couple of variations in my handwriting. From what's considered readable to borderline indecipherable to absolute genius (well, genius in my terms).
As an example, around 2nd grade, I wrote my numbers in cursive. It was fine for single digit values, but when we got to multiplication card speed tests in 3rd grade, I had given up. I could not afford to write "463831" in cursive anymore.
Then there was my "defying the rules" type of handwriting. I felt quite rebellious and was pretty smug about it. The idea first came up when I began to question why we had to capitalize the first letter of the first word in our sentences and why that had to be the norm.
I thought this was pretty unfair for the other letters, so I made my own rule.
i WRoTe liKE thIs.
I didn't care if my "I" wasn't capitalized every time. Like what I said, the weirder, the better.
However, my genius was pretty short lived. After I submitted a 500-word essay using the new brilliant handwriting I had come up with, my teacher explained that I should stop using this style because it would be harder for others to understand my writing.
After that, I decided to tone it down. I simply put hearts and circles above my "I"s and "J"s.
But it was pretty anticlimactic from my previous style.
After 9th grade, I changed it again.
THIS TIME I WROTE IN ALL CAPS.
IT WAS FUN FOR A WHILE BUT THEN I FOUND IT TOO TIRESOME BECAUSE OF THE EFFORT OF ALWAYS WRITING IN HUGE BLOCK LETTERS.
PLUS, IT SEEMED THAT I WAS SHOUTING IN MY WRITINGS. BUT I REALLY AM NOT.
Currently, in the summer before 10th grade, I decided to write my capital A's in a pattern that made it look like a star.
It was random and that's exactly what made it brilliant. What are the odds of another person turning the specific capital letter A into a specific symbol, a star?
