(2 months later)
I placed my hands firmly over the steering wheel.
"Are you ready?" the instructor asked. I nodded.
Today I get my first drivers license.I turned the key in the
ignition and started the car. I had gotten a car for my 17th
birthday,and was dying to finally drive it. I turned around a
corner smoothely.
"Now parallel park over there." The woman pointed
to a spot with her wrinkley finger. I pulled into the parking lot
and parked into the spot. She wrote down something in her
notebook.We went through the rest of the test, and when I was done
I was proud of myself. I did better than I expected. She handed me
a slip and shook my hand. I had passed. I ran out to Andrew and
hugged him joyfully.He spun me around in the hug, then let me go to
go get my picture taken for the drivers license.I smiled widely .
The flash truck me in the eyes and I cringed back. I waited to
receive my license, with Andrew standing next to me holding my
hand. I was so excited! I would finally get to drive my new silver
car! Things were so much better now.
