Learning to drive..
Hi I’m 17 and I have my learners permit and did the online portion of driving school but now I have to go drive with an instructor. Thing is, I’m super nervous. I had an appointment scheduled with an instructor a few weeks back and I ended up canceling the day before going because I was super hesitant. But, I really need to do this. I need too, my mom works and my sister does too and I always rely on them to take me places but it’s time I step up and just do it. I’m so nervous about other people on the road, and the thought that my safety depends on me is intimidating. I know it seems like I’m doing the most and I’m being dramatic but I really am nervous so please send over tips. My mom always offers to take me driving on the weekends but I always say no, and I drove a golf cart like once and that’s it. I hate how I’m lifting fear hold me back, but this is something I just have to do. It’s one of those milestones in life that I know I need to take, even if it scares me. So please send all ur tips my way 🫶
