I failed. It’s such a bummer. The test itself wasn’t very hard. I was just so nervous that I made stupid mistakes like not looking over my shoulder enough. I’m going to keep practicing and try again soon.

How to get my driver's license
It made me
feel successful
 "finally a driver..."
How I did it: When I was 18, I tried to get my driver's licence, but I failed in the test and get upset to still trying. Huge mistake! I wanted to go back to the driver's school, but I was always afraid of failed again and again. I have to try mandatoryly for my new job. And, wow, I passed in the first chance in all tests, even getting so nervous of losing my job for don't have the license for so long time since I've been hired. Lessons & tips: You have to be very calm. Be nervous can destroy all your learnings. Try to be always paying attention to the facts in all directions in the streets. At the same moment, try to relax with all this: can be talking with your teacher about other subjects or listen same music. Driving with music is great :D Resources: Driving school with a great teacher. Driver manuals. Some money to pay for them.

How I did it: When I drove with my permit (that means a parent has to be next to you at all times), it was awful.

How I did it: I had lots of practise over the previous year. i had driven with my brother, with an instructor, but just when i got confident enough, i screwed up, made a completey stupid mistake and felt so inadequate and stupid.

He said I didn't use my right turn signal (which I did) and that I didn't parallel park quickly enough.Then I took my second exam and rear-ended someone (don't ask).Then I took it again and passed with flying colours.

I think being able to drive expands your world. I can live and work farther away. Visit people more often and get to places faster. Right now I have to pass up a really great apartment because it’s so far away. It would take me at least an hour to get to my school by bus not to mention the long walk but by car it would only take me 15 mins. So being able to drive would really help me right about now. But right now I have to save up for the really expensive lessons.
