My story :
I am celebrating this day to as I am also a left hander.In my young age,when I realized that every one is writing from the “Right hand” ,I used to feel really unimportant or left out ,as everybody was doing the same thing and writing with the same hand (Right hand) and I was the only one in the class who write from left hand ,infact there was no kid in the entire school who write
with left hand .
Even in my family there is no cousion of mine who write with left hand ,so I felt a little uncomfortable at times ,but it was all in the begining.As I grew up ,I met lots of people who used to work with left hand,right with left hand .Adter meeting up with those people I became relaxed ,that there are people like me as well ,and I am no Alien
