Yes this is just a pencil. But it’s what we do with it. In my family, every was one was expected to have a good handwriting. We believed that if we have good handwriting, when we would write our resume, we would get accepted and get a good job. But it’s not only about that. People would judge us on whether we have a good handwriting or not. It tells people that were we taught well to have good handwriting or not.
When I was little and I would do something wrong, I would be punished to write my name for 100 times. One reason of me doing that is because i was punished of course! But under that is another reason why, my parents wanted me to get better hand writing as well as met getting punished.
So after all, it’s just a pencil. But this pencil could tell people how my family taught me. 
And maybe it is true. Having good handwriting will get you a great job because i have more than 50 successful family members in Vietnam that are Billionaires if not Trillionaires in VND. And i also have family member who isn’t as wealthy, And they have bad handwriting.
