Left-handers often navigate a world designed for right-handed individuals, which makes their achievements all the more impressive. Imagine using scissors, playing sports, or even just writing in a notebook when everything is built for the other side! It’s like being a superhero with a secret power – and Left-Handers Day is our chance to celebrate that power.
