This is me. Did you know I am a left-handed person? This photo was taken while I was doing my math school homework. Most people do not even realised what handedness means because it does not affect them. Today I decided to do a blog post on me being left-handed because every time I write, I wonder why are most of us right-handed. I thought that we, being left-handed, are different, so I asked my parents and they said that I am not different I am just unique. I found out that, in my house, my brother, grandfather and I are left-handed. In my family, 6 family members are left handed. I am not sure how many of my classmates are left-handed but I have a friend, Joshua, who can write with both his left and right hand. Maybe, he can do his composition twice as fast. Ha ha. To catch up with him, I would need to practice to write more quickly while being neat. Sometimes, I wish I could be right handed like others.

I decided to do some research on why I am left handed and I found out that approximately 10% of the world population is left handed. That is around 600,000,000 people. OMG!  I also found out that some people are left handed because of either genes or because one side of our brain controls the muscles of your hand to write. That means my friend’s brain is strong enough to help him write with both hands! 🙂 I also found out that Pelé, Maradona and Ian Rush are left-handed. I guess this also determines which leg you use to kick the ball.

I think whether left or right hand it is more important that everyone can get a chance to learn how to write. I hope that everyone gets a chance to study and learn.
