Its been a while since I've blogged and do I have a lot to account for in theses past few months. For starters, I passed my road test and that took a lot of hard work and dedication. Hours of driving lessons with Mr. Tony Gomes and not to mention hours of lessons with my grandpa Sol who is 84 years old. God Bless him. Nothing gives him more joy then to teach his grand children something, even if he's told us this story a billion times. After passing the test I made the most ridiculous mistake. Heres how it went.
I took my road test at about 1:30p.m. and completed it around 1:42p.m, passing with 95 points. 5 points were deducted because I made a wide left turn. So after the instructor and I had pulled over I began to cry because I passed. I never in a million years would have thought I would pass, especially because my mother had no faith in my driving abilities. But that day I proved everyone in my family wrong including myself. I passed and all I could do was rejoice. Because of my excitement Tony deiced to drive me home. We reached my drive way where I was greeted my both my mother and sister. I never received so many pitiful hugs in my life. It was one of those hugs that meant "We are so proud of you, even though we never thought you would make it." How reassuring could that be? My mother said since I was now a licensed driver, was could drive myself into town and she would pay for my lunch. Although she made a kind gesture, I thought to myself, "Really?! Town1 Whoopdedoo! a ten minute drive all by myself. How grown up is that?" I was hoping to explore, go on the high way and open all of the windows. Let my hair be caught in the breeze. But I was allowed to drive to town." Some accomplishment that was. After i finished at the deli i made my way back to the car when some random guy tries to get my number and failed miserably. I hopped in the car and headed for home, which was only 5 minutes away. As I pulled into my drive way I thought I would show my mom I deserved to drive to at least the next town over and not five minutes away. I turned the steering wheel to the left and attempted to pull into my garage. Keep in mind I have never pulled out of the garage and I thought this would be my lucky day, that just because I am a licensed driver I would automatically know how to pull into the garage. As my foot hovers over the break all I hear is a BANG noise. I just thought I hit the can of my dogs poop. I put the car in park and stepped out to see that I did way more damage then I thought. I dented the right bumper and the head light fell out. So much for being a licensed driver huh?
