Sorry - just to let you know I've had almost the opposite experience.
When I was little (read, in first grade), I thought it would be really
neat to be one of the few people in the class who wrote with their left
hand. (Yeah, pretty quirky, I know.) Anyway, I remember explicitly making
the effort to do so.
Unfortunately, I was totally unable to do so. Further, I was pretty much
unaware of my having "switched" back to my right hand until a teacher
pointed out to me midyear that I was no longer using it. Interestingly,
I was kind of embarrassed at the time, because when we were being tested,
and told to "just use whatever hand felt more comfortable" to us, I kind
of *knew* that I was right handed.
Maybe you were just one of the lucky ones who got to make that choice.
Just a thought.
