This has been a pretty exciting week, I got my drivers license! This Thursday I finished my 50 hours of driving practice and my 6 hours of in-person driving, and after 6 months of waiting and a lot of practice I was eligible to take my test. So after school I drove with my mom to the DMV and waited in line to take my driving test. While we were waiting for the test I was super nervous, my hands were super sweaty and my heart was beating out of my chest. During the test I was taking huge deep breaths to try and stay calm, but I did my best to drive as much as a robot as possible. After the test when I pulled into the last parking spot, and after the instructor told me I passed, a huge wave of relief washed over me. Finally after 6 months I was free to drive on my own. And let me tell you, I didn’t know how nice it really was. Being able to take myself anywhere on my own accord is amazing. Yes, it is a lot of responsibility but the freedom it grants is very worth it. It is super dangerous especially for young people, but being in karate has definitely helped me understand responsibility and I will be super careful as I still learn how to drive the best I can.
