I've never had good cursive even when I tried and tried. I flunked 12th grade because of it. I was enrolled in a Fish and Wildlife course @ WCC before my HS class graduated, 1984. I loved the course and had great grades but again my writing was killing me. My English teacher had a very dark complexion and marked all over my papers and many other friends in his class, It had to be about perfect. I think he didn't like the redneck T shirts we wore. I struggled through the first year and was getting better w my writing but my hand would cramp up after writing for 10/20 mins. We had a career day and we got to talk to biology, marine biology, game warden peeps etc. I wanted to be a GW in N.C. but we and classmates were told there was a waiting list and it could be 3 or 5 years to get a job here. One GW honestly told us that you really need know somebody in the gov. to get a job in enforcement. I quit and went back to surveying where I worked in the summers in high school. I can write #s just fine and draw but the only cursive I write is my name, everything else is Abcdefgh.........
