I hop up into my dad’s white, Chevy truck, sobbing my eyes out, still hysterical of what happened and can’t quite catch a grasp on it.

    How could one test ruin my whole month? My heart shattered to pieces. I almost cried as soon as I heard him say that I failed. I did not want to ever drive again and I wanted to just forget all about what I had been working towards for months. Although, my lack of practice was truly the reason for my failure and it took a lot of convincing and motivation from my family and friends for me to realize that. I soon took it into initiative and began practicing parallel parking with my dad every Sunday evening. My parents allowed me to drive them almost everywhere. Every month after February, I tried to schedule a new appointment, but there were so many excuses from the weather, to the closing of the DPS. Plus, My friend had a car herself and this was also motivation. I am very persistent when it comes to something that I want, and if I want something, I must get it. This drive and ambition helped me to not fall from the original goal. From my daily practices and daily driving, there was no way I could fail again.…

But in that moment I felt that feeling of growing up. I felt so trusted and I thought about all these huge privileges I had just earned.…

I tensed my grip on the steering wheel and quickly put on my right signal. .I slowly pulled over to the right shoulder. I jumped out of the car and noticed my right front tire was flat .I started to panic being alone and not knowing how to change a flat tire. I had just passed my driver license test only six months ago and had never experienced this problem. I pulled out my cell phone and called my Dad. I explained the situation and asked if he could come help change the flat tire. He said yes that he could help but sounded angry when I told him I was in Roseville. I sat and waited in the hot sun for 45 minutes until he arrived. This whole situation could have been avoided if I knew how to change a flat tire.…
