When I was in school, 3rd grade to be exact, my teacher said I had the prettiest handwriting, My fellow students gathered around my desk when she said it to 'see' what she was talking about. Today? I struggle to read what my own kids write. I remember (in 1st gr) my dad making me sit for long minutes drawing a connected 'o' repeatedly across the paper until each 'o' was symmetrical and round as it overlapped the other before it. I won class spelling bees. I wrote summer vacation stories that glowed and got 'A' grades. In 8th gr I began writing short stories and poems. Because I loved to write. I credit that to my dad's tough teaching growing up. Now I'm a writer and I still love it. I've always encouraged my dds who at one time or another have 'tried their hand' at writing. I'm proud to say my kids missed the 'college students can't write' stigma, because I was the same kind of parent I was raised by.<br /><br />Thanks Sandy.Calisa Rhosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743891437445099016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141340997448669281.post-360481010949412952011-01-20T16:09:19.707-08:002011-01-20T16:09:19.707-08:00I agree, Sandy.
