I’m 18 year old and a smart young woman. I graduated high school with honors, did well on my ACT, am in college right now, and work as a sales associate part time.

But my handwriting in illegible to most people. Only a few close friends can read my notes, teacher have told me they hate trying to read my papers. Up until 9th grade I got yelled at for having “chicken scratch” everyday. I’ve had to re-do a 3 page handwritten paper because the teacher couldn’t read it.

I can’t help it! If I try to write every word neat it takes about 30 second per word!

What caused this? What’s wrong with me?
