First Time Driving

I’ve always had a slight fear of driving. But my mom and dad pushed me to try driving officially without the “help” from my older brother. Which was my very first time driving, which did not go well, but once I tried with my dad’s help I felt very comfortable driving. Now that I feel comfortable driving and knowing what I need to do, I’m more excited about driving.

My dad showed me where most things I’d need were and what I’d have to do, “Alright now it’s your turn.” my dad got out of the car and so I jumped out too.

He told me to turn on the blinkers and the windshield wipers and told me how to start walking and everything else I’d need. “Ok, drive forward and backwards,” my dad asked me to do so because he wanted me to get a feel for the sensitivity of the car’s pedals. So I backed up and moved forward, I smiled it almost felt like a rush in a way so my excitement was peeking through more. My dad told me where to go and what to try or so I was not completely lost on what was going
