Also, it prepared me further for college life, which I depended very little on my parents.

The steering wheel vibrations, rumbling of the engine smell of hot asphalt gave me such an adrenaline rush at a young age.

My dad would say you’re not ready you’re not mature enough your only fifteen we are not in the country anymore we live in a city now. If we still lived in Virginia or the Country as he calls it there’s less people on the roads in rural areas. They kept telling me I wasn’t ready and that I’ll get in an accident because of my inexperience, one day my dad asked me to take him to the store.

Growing up, my parents couldn 't always afford what I wanted, but I always had food and shelter. My dad’s family brought him to California chasing the American dream. He had to dropout of high school in order to help provide for his family due to economic problems. He was only sixteen having to work in the fields.

Until now, cable is still out of our budget. When me and my sister had homework or projects that required internet we used to go to my aunt’s house where she would let us use her computer. Not too long ago, my freshman year, we were able to get affordable internet for low income.

Have your parents ever made you buy something you wanted with your own money? I know my parents have. I remembered last year I really wanted to get a new Lacrosse helmet. My dad said if I wanted to get the helmet, I would need to buy it with my own money. So my dad and I made a deal. He said if I walk my dog early in the morning I would get an allowance and I would eventually be able to buy the helmet. I had to wake 20 minutes earlier than I was used to, which was tough, but I knew I would be better for the experience because it would teach me the value of hard work and getting used to not having everything handed to me. I also appreciated the helmet more because I worked hard and earned it myself.

An Italian author, M.T. Dismuke, once boldly stated, “The only freedom you truly have is in your mind, so use it”. Each human bears their own individual intrinsic qualities that separate them from everybody else, and without these qualities all would be one and the same.

Dismuke has exclaimed using the free-running creativity locked away within my mind to bring new ideas and creations into the world.

Sweaty palms, a general sense of fear, and surprisingly enough, some excitement. That’s how it felt in the car on my first drive. Learning to drive is actually a crazy thing when you think about it.

With that being said, the experience of learning how to drive has lead me to become a more confident and independent person, despite the many challenges I faced along the way.
