I always had poor hand writing. It is legible to me. I quit using cursive capital letters in high school. I print the capital letter and use cursive for the rest.

I’m not sure why I found capital letters so difficult. I just recall dreading hand writing tests in elementary school.

heres the cursive letters. The capital letters have those extra squiggly bits. I never could master those.
