I announced, “I have a ten o’clock appointment for Olivia Sestito.” The short time in which I waited for my name to be called, my body overturned with a strong nervous feeling. A few prolonged minutes later, I hopped back into my car and pulled up to the side of the building to attempt my second driving test. The instructor walked over to my side and signaled me to roll my window down after she examined my car. My heart started pounding and my body tensed up. She said, “I’m sorry, but you cannot take your test today.

All things considered, I have entered the world of adulthood. Life constantly baffles me with challenges and surprises. And to persevere through it all my family has been my number one support system. For one thing, my mom has taught me life skills that have formed the unique individual I am. She handed the responsibility over to me of getting all of my paperwork ready to go for my driving test. I failed. The moment I had become hyped up over was ruined because of my irresponsibility. Furthermore, most every failure comes with a consequence, exceptional or dreadful. In behalf of my mom, I understood that there is no such thing as asking countless questions and staying organized. I received the realization that the word “responsibility” doesn’t always have a poor connotation. Taking my time and being prepared is something I’ve learned from my driver’s license

Fear and distress instead consumed my mind, leaving me confused and anxious about my aftermath.…
