For the longest time I refused to write proper – like the way everyone holds their pencil – I hold it the way I want because it’s the way I feel comfortable. My french teacher – who went crazy over everything I do when I was in Grade Primary – I was only 4.5 yrs old then made me feel like I was inadequate – so much so that I cried everyday and refused to go to school. She even had a book of wall all over my desk – so that I won’t copy my friends when I didn’t know how to do my class work. Now that really embarrassed me – I felt so scared – it was not until recently that I told mama and daddy about it and they weren’t too pleased with it at all.
But now I’m writing the proper way and my new teacher – they never forced me to write their way – they let me take my time and change when I am ready and now I’m ready. I’m glad that I am no longer in French class and even though my Grammie is french – I refused to go back to any french class.
