I am a student wanting to create a dashboard for my freshman class. And to make it more fancier I want to use a handwriting effect. Let me explain.

Let's say I have the text: "Probability and The Concept of Prediction." When the page is loaded I want that text to appear as if it's being written on the page as it's being viewed.

Am I crazy to think this is possible or is there a jquery plugin that I can use?

If you are talking about a typewriter effect (cf. my comment), you can find jQuery plugins like this one.

If you mean actually drawing the letters, then it's beyond jQuery basic capabilities and you would need to look at graphing/charting libraries instead.

[edit] Note that it is easy to create a simple typewriter effect in jQuery (or JavaScript) without a plugin, see a couple examples here (including my live demo). However a plugin will help if you need to deal with html, not just text.
