Thanks for the letter. Yes, I learned cursive also LONG ago, but haven't attempted it in ages. I'd say a matching-in-magnitude rite of passage was learning how to type. It was in eighth grade. No one wanted to take typing class but it was mandatory. I remember our typing teacher, Ms Smith, telling us all, "I know you don't like or like learning typing, but one day, you're going to look back and feel very grateful that you know how to type, and realize it's the most useful thing you learned in eighth grade." She was right. Typing of course doesn't tap into the kind of personality and connection that handwriting does. I always love Sandra's posts in that vein and it was fun to see your's as well. (I did have to enlarge it a fair bit to read it though.)
You opened your reading with immense valedictorian speech energy and I’m here for it!! lol
I feel like the last time and only time I was required to use cursive aside from elementary school was when signing the SAT; they had like a sentence or paragraph I think we had to rewrite? I use it as much as possible though. Generally speaking, I don’t think a single day goes by where I’m not putting pen to paper in some fashion.
Love this! 💙
