Episode Description: In this episode, I reflect on the challenges of growing up as a lefty in a right-handed world. From messy fountain pen mishaps in my bilingual school in Buenos Aires to the life-changing discovery of tilting my paper after moving to an American school, these experiences shaped my writing journey—literally. Join me as I share anecdotes about studying habits, cultural quirks, and the unexpected lessons learned along the way. Oh, and for you Gen-Z listeners, yes, we all had to write in cursive.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:- Why my Hogwarts-like school in Argentina enforced fountain pens for Spanish classes and pencils for English classes.
- The unique frustrations of being a lefty writing with a fountain pen at six years old.
- A pivotal moment in 4th grade: the school nurse’s advice that changed everything.
- Reflections on the importance of small accommodations and how they can make a big difference.
Tune in for this left-handed trip down memory lane!
