First Driving Experience
Freshman year
Received driving permit
Longed for this day
Understanding driving and safety precautions
Finally my turn to drive
Down the backstreets of Clermont
Scared to death
Not knowing how to turn corners
Always being told to slow down
Finally getting the hang of how to operate the vehicle
Realizing that driving wasn’t so bad after all

I liked how you caught both the excitement and the apprehension of this new step in your life. You look forward to it for so long, but yet it is a little scary too!
