Driving Permit

I first took my driving permit test on March 28th, the exact day I turned fifteen and a half, in turn, the first day I was legally allowed. Unfortunately, even though I thought I was ready, I didn't pass. I got one more question than I could have incorrect. It was rough. The worst part was probably that I thought I had studied enough and I would pass, and then I didn't. Although I was upset, I didn't let it faze me. I studied more and took it about three weeks later. That time.... I passed! In fact, I got every question right! :)

I have been, and will continue to practice driving with my dad, in his Oldsmobile :) The first day we went out, I did really well. We didn't stay out for that long, maybe fifteen minutes in the parking lot, but we did cover a lot of the basics: precise turns, backing up, etc. Because I did so well, I drove home from there! It is only about six blocks, and we took the back roads, but it was still pretty exciting!

I have always been excited to be able to drive. I always used to say my favorite part about driving was going to be using the turn signals, because I liked that they turned themselves off after a turn. Not only am I happy to be able to drive, but once I get my license it will be a big help to my mom. Right now, she and my dad are the only ones living at home that drive. Therefore, she does a lot of the errands and carpooling. My new favorite thing about being able to drive is probably going to be taking some of the load off for her.

I'll keep my blog updated on my driving improvements!
