Personal Narrative: Lessons Learned While Driving

Decent Essays
A time that I failed to achieve something that brought me down for a while was getting my license. It was during when I had drivers ed, and my instructor made learning how to drive the worst optimum situation I've encountered. I only took 2 lessons with him because he made me feel like I was a terrible driver and yelled at me for doing common mistakes that all new drivers would encounter. It made me feel horrible and stopped me from wanting to drive for many months, it put a lot of stress on me because I know I should have had my license already, I reacted by just not calling to set up any more drivers appointments and to resolve the issue I found a different instructor that was able to do the driving portion of the class with me. It took me

    Driver’s Ed is meant to teach young drivers how to act behind the wheel and the ins and outs of driving. However, Driver’s Ed is not meant to be fun by any means. I found this out the hard way when I took Driver’s Ed last summer. It took all of my strength, will-power and endurance to make it through one of the most boring weeks of my entire life.

    I've always heard that drivers should practice "defensive driving. " It makes sense, we all know how big a car is and how fast it can go, you can find all of those numbers somewhere on the car itself. We all know someone who has been in an accident, be it minor or major. When cars collide, it can be catastrophic and everyone knows it well. But somehow, at least for me, the idea of it actually all being real didn't happen until I had gotten into an accident where I was forced to deal with the consequences of even a minor collision.…

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    After five hours under Mrs. Gonzalez’s 1997 Plymouth, my hands were so dirty I had to wash them ten times just to see my fingernails again. She was a familiar face around the shop, given that neighborhood thieves had routinely targeted her car. This time, though, they had gone too far. Someone had crawled underneath the car and cut out the valuable catalytic converter, and she couldn’t afford a replacement. When I looked at her and said, “That’ll be $563,” her face turned pale.…
