How I did it: I didn’t even realise I was ambidextrous at first, then my teacher pointed out to me when I was about eight that I wrote with both hands – I actually thought it was normal until then!

I started doing things with only my left hand, like eating, washing my h… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was motivated by the fact that people I knew already could do this, with even better penmanship than my original hand. So, when listening to lectures, instead of taking notes, I practiced with my right hand. I also started writing notes with my right hand, since no one else was going to read them and I probably wasn't going to go over them anyway. Read how I did it…
