I am now officially a licensed driver! I am so excited. It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for this moment since I didn’t take drivers ed until after I had already turned fifteen. I always felt so left out, because as of now pretty much all of my friends have their licenses. I was always embarrassed when my parents would have to drive me somewhere just so I could go hang out with friends. But now its all good! I got my license yesterday afternoon and not too long after that I was already driving myself places. I was afraid I was going to be really nervous driving by myself, but it turns out it’s more fun to drive by yourself.

I was really nervous Tuesday night because that was the night before my trip to the dmv. I was so scared something would go completely wrong while I was driving. Nothing really bad has ever happened to me while I was driving, but for some reason I knew something out of the blue would happen during my driving test. I went to my parents for reassurance and they said i would do fine. I also talked to my best friend morgan who of course already has her license. She said the test was really easy and that thery hardly make you do anything. Having been in the passengers seat while she was driving I finally got some confidence. If she was able to pass the test by the way she drives, I think I’ll be okay.

We got to the dmv early the next morning so that there would not be too long of a wait. We ended up having to come back later because we forgot to do something before I would be able to drive. We came back right after lunch that day. We got there and got settled by one o’clock. Five minutes later they called me back to take the drivers test. The instructor and I left to take a ten minute test driving test. My dad and I left the dmv by 1:25 with a drivers license in my hand. I am finally a licensed driver!!
