In his first year at Bellaire, sophomore Marcus Roberson has already accumulated three zeros due to his handwriting’s illegibility.
“It does describe my personality,” Roberson said. “One day I might write something that looks like it just came out of the 1600s, and the next day, it looks like I’m a second grader. [My handwriting is] just a toss-up in the air, and that’s basically my life too.”
Roberson claims he used to be one of the best hand writers in second grade, but it didn’t last.
“I used to like this one girl in class,” Roberson said. “She was on the other side of [the classroom], so eventually I started scribbling my work so I could write a little note to her. I had to change my handwriting for two different occasions. At the beginning of the class, I used to just write random stuff [for school], and then at the end of class, I’m writing top-tier letters because I’m trying to send it to her.”
The girl ended up leaving the school, leaving Roberson with his emotions and chicken scratch.
“I noticed when I get depressed, I start writing better handwriting,” Roberson said. “I think it’s because since the second grade, passing notes in class connected my emotions to handwriting.”
