I have a good hand writing since I was a child {thanks to my parents} and normally I do write pretty well.. but I have an illegible handwriting in exams…Reason: My hands start sweating badly when I am nervous. I even sometimes can't hold my pen properly! A tissue box is must for me.
For this I even suffered from one mark lose in Biology in my 10th grade securing 2nd position in the subject and lost 2nd position in class. The unknown marking teacher wrote at my answer sheet:
"Illegible handwriting" and he put a [-1] for that.😡
I asked myself: Is my knowledge more important or my presentation? I am quite able to do best in my subject, why is my handwriting being a hindrance.🤔
Once my niece took up a paper where her friend had written something. Her friend is one of the best student of her school but she suffers from bad handwriting. One of our Uncle glanced at the paper and said: What a bad handwriting!? Ur friend is so illiterate.😕
Ur comments.

Oh my,It happens to me too..Especially in exam halls which are badly ventilated,or when the subject is an arduous one or if the paper is complex.....
In my school handwriting was given the paramount importance..Our junior school teachers were so particular about handwriting( and cursive at that)...🤢...I couldnt write neatly for nuts,and the teacher used to hit me on my knuckles😡😭...and inorder to write neatly,I started writing so darkly with the pencil,infact I used to thrust the pencil on the paper so hard,that the impression would be imprinted till the thrid page😆..and that happens even now when I use a pen...I've had some of the worst experiences over this stooopid handwriting issue 🤢..and over that I have my mother,who never tired of reiterating that "The teacher would feel like reading your paper if your handwriting is nice..especially when the teacher is in a good mood,you would get brownie points for a impeccable handwriting..All this adds to your personality"...

You guys are lucky to get to see your paper..In the ICSE and then CBSE boards,we dont get to see our papers😕...and worse is that in the 10th we dont even get individual marks for each science....we get a score for science,which is the average of P,C and B....and similarly,histroy and geography together is called "Social science"..thus we neither get to see our papers,nor get to know the individual scores🤢

trust me,Handwriting isnt a hindrance after the primary school😛...Heck,after the 9th grade,handwriting matters naught...As then I wouldnt have scored anything close to what I did all my life😆

Sorry,but your uncle was stupid to say that..Some of the most learned people I have met have the most deplorable handwriting(some doctors for example....Cant even guess what they scribble in the prescriptions😆)..and how really does handwriting matter in today's age..I mean,everything is computerized,and as long as a person's english grammar is fine,I think handwriting isnt a hindrance

Same case here... my school was full of "Good handwriting admirers".... so much importance...esp teachers.. so so so particular that it was impossible to please them🤢... even i started writing so hard that my hand hurts.. and impression is beyond 3 pgs😆😆
