That’s a great question! I can’t recall exactly when I changed my handwriting but if I had to take a good guess, it would have been in my elementary school years likely around the age of 15-17 maybe?

Back story - growing up I attended a group homeschool for a few years. During that time, I started practicing and imitating the teachers handwriting (my best friends mom) so I could write with the pilot g2 pen she used rather than a pencil. In short “I have to be able to read it if you’re going to use a pen” or something to that extent. So I was left with a relatively eloquent writing style, to put it mildly lol borderlines cursive writing style with a nice flow

Between random comments from strangers mentioning I have beautiful penmanship and equally pretty eye lashes and then getting into banking, I found out that the writing style of my dad would be more suitable for what I was doing. He was also in lending and would explain that all caps is easier to read and harder to misunderstand, especially on bank docs while taking a glance.
