Over the last 20 years, one could argue that cursive writing has nearly died. Blame the influx of technology, emojis, or the like — it's hard to find millennials or Gen Z-ers who write in cursive.

Lori Solan, his teacher, told WPIX that Aquino's strong point is his attention to detail.

We took a line from an essay Aquino wrote in class and had people at KSAT write it in cursive: I ran faster.
Simple enough, right?
