One of my favorite things about myself is the fact that I am left-handed.
I am very left-handed, I use my left hand for pretty much everything and I think
this is really cool because lefties only make up about 10% of the population
so I've always felt really special. But you know what would be even cooler, is if
I was part of only 1% of the population that is ambidextrous so in this video I
decided I'm going to try and learn to write with my right hand as well. Okay so
I do not have the time to completely learn to write with my right hand but I
want to see how much better I can get in 48 hours. At the end of the 48 hours
I'm going to compare my handwriting at the beginning which is like in a few
minutes right now and then at the end and I want to see if there's any
improvements and how much the improvement was. But yeah, this is hour zero, let's go.
Okay so to start off I'm going to try and write the alphabet with my right
hand, let's see how good or bad I am. Gripping the pen feels very very weird
Oh wow, that's really bad!
This honestly just feels super weird I'm not sure I've ever done anything that
felt this weird it's like, it just feels so unnatural to hold this with my right
hand. Okay, so I honestly don't know if practice is helping, thus har let me see. Ummm...Uh.... I feel
like my first one actually seems like the best
I was slower then actually, I think I was taking my time so that's what I am going to
try and do again and this one as well, this ABCD doesn't look so bad. So now I'm
going to do the pangram 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog'.
Honestly, it's so tempting to just take the pen from my right hand and just write
everything with my left hand because this is taking forever.
I actually feel like this is torture and can be used to torture someone. It's so
painful
Okay everyone so the 48 hours is over I practiced for the whole of Monday and
Tuesday, okay not for the whole of, but I practiced for a significant part of
Monday and Tuesday and now today is Wednesday and we get to see how much I
have improved in my writing. But before we do that I just want to share a few
things that I learned from this challenge. So number one, this is actually
pretty hard, I found that writing with my right hand was not as easy as I thought
it would be, there are so many times when I wanted to pick the pen from my right
hand and just move it to my left and start writing with it. And number two is
that on the first day I found that my right hand was cramping up a lot like
it would hurt after just writing like maybe 'the' but then on the second day after
writing for like a number of hours it was actually much easier to just keep
writing, my hand wasn't hurting, I don't think my hand hurt at all actually
So yeah, and number three was that on the first day I always forgot my pen grip
like if I put the pen down I would forget how I was supposed to hold it
with my right side, with my left hand it just comes naturally when I pick up the
pen, but with my right hand, I forgot. But on day 2 actually, I was able to remember
that oh yeah okay this is the way I hold it. And number four which I haven't
actually tested, but I've heard someone say that when you practice writing with your
non-dominant hand, your handwriting in your dominant hand
may actually start to look worse. I'm going to try writing with my left hand
and see if it's worse than it usually is. So I don't think that my handwriting has
actually gotten worse maybe because I only practiced writing with my
non-dominant hand for a very short period of time.
But yeah, so that was cool. So I ended up changing to a blue pen, not for any major reason
just because I couldn't find my black pen and I think it was still the same. And
yeah, so this is my final page. I'll put up a screenshots side by side of my
first page of writing and then my final page. I think I did really well but you
guys would be the judge of it. Okay everyone thank you so much for watching I'm
really amazed by my progress and I hope you are too.
Don't forget to like this video, subscribe if you haven't already and
comment down below if you would try this as well, I think this is pretty cool I think
I should keep practicing because maybe I'll be able to write like completely
with my right hand. I do not think I'm ambidextrous now in any form but still
this was really cool. So yeah thank you bye!
