changing from lefty to righty back to lefty

When I was very little,my mother would try to get me to use my right hand by putting my toys on my right side. Fortunately,my sisters and brother convinced her to let me use my right hand.
At school, I had no problems regarding my being left handed until the 2nd grade. My teacher insisted that I write with my right hand. My mother found out when she caught me writing with my right hand. She and one of my sisters went to talk to her about it. However, she would not agree to let me be a lefty. They then put in a complaint on her. A couple of years later,they told my teacher about what happened in thew second grade. She agreed to let me use my left hand. However,by then the damage was done.
I now write with both hands. However,I would like to go back to writing solely with my left. The reason for this is that if nature had intended for me to be right-handed or ambidexterous,I would have been born right-handed or amberdexterous.
Has there been anyone who sucessfully switched from lefty to righty back to lefty?
