My First Driving Experience Essay

Superior Essays
“Hurry! Hurry! You have to go or you will be late!” said her mom. “I don’t want to leave and I will miss all of you!” she replied. She was teary eyed while pushing her luggage. This was the scenario she had with her mother before she departed to go to the United States. The feelings she had was a mix of excitement and anxiousness. As she got on the plane, she was thinking of how she could adapt to the living conditions in the U.S., and of course her excitement of seeing Rey and his family. It was her first time to be away from her mom and sister and live away from them. She had so much expectation about the land of opportunity when she was on the plane. Going to the United States is a great opportunity for her to experience new culture and …show more content…
This was her first driving experience, so she felt tense on her first day. Rey taught her how to drive and it was bad. Someone told her that the worst driver instructor is ones partner. Later, she confirmed that person was one hundred percent right. Every driving lesson she had with Rey always ended in an argument. One of her friend even recommended her to go to a driving class, if she really wanted to learn fast. However, Rey was so confident to teach her. Finally, Rey gave her the go signal to take her driver’s test. Many people whom she knew and they took the driver’s test said, “Passing a driver’s test was hard”. She was very nervous when she took her first driving test. The woman in charged looked super strict. She told her to take out everything hanging in front of the car. She was sweating and getting nervous. During her test, she was so worried that she was not paying attention. They almost got into an accident. The driving instructor told her, “That was a dangerous driving!” From there she already knew she failed the test. It took her three tests to get her license. She told Rey, “It was better to pay $10 to take the test until I passed it rather than spending money on going to a driving lesson class” after getting her driver’s license. She was very happy that she could go out anytime and anywhere she wants. Taking a driving test is a little nerve racking however, there is always a way to help someone prepare and pass a diving test on the very first try. To get a driver’s license is an exciting venture and life changing experience, but it entails responsibility (Zakhareuski.n.d.

    Today I read about “Driver’s ED” when Remy was talking about her crush Morgan, and which she seems to really like. I realized that Lark was not actually the driver’s instructor. I do not know their name so I’m going to call them the driver instructor. I also found out the driver’s ed car was not damaged that much as I thought, Remy hit a road divider and there was no serious damage. “Driver’s ED” is a very confusing book to me but I get some of it.…

    The thought of getting behind the wheel seemed like far too much responsibility. While waiting for my mom to drive me anywhere was a somewhat aggravating loss of freedom, I felt I needed more time before I went back to piloting heavy machinery. I felt obligated to act almost as I had when I was first getting my license- I even spent awhile only driving with one of my parents in the passenger seat. At first, I was screaming internally from the moment I put the key in the ignition to the moment I parked it at my destination. Changing lanes made me very anxious, I saw all cars as threats (actually I still do), and unprotected left hand turns came close to actually frightening me.…

    As I began to breathe, placing the car into reverse, and slowly backing into the bay. As I am backing up, I felt my anxiety taking the best of me. Continuing the procedures I had learnt at driver’s ed without a doubt, a sense of determination had crossed my mind. I began to focus on what my motive was because the outcomes were to give a good connotation afterwards. Once I placed the cark into park, the instructor says “Good distance, you have passed the parallel parking, we can now proceed to the road test”.…
