When I was done with high school I graduated and I went to Think College at UVM in Burlington. I took private diving lessons. I had some good teachers and some bad teachers. One of the teachers was good. That was before Covid. Then she retired from teaching. After that I did not have a good teacher. After a long time we found a different teacher. She was an amazing teacher who was so nice and patient with me and explained everything really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a lot of lessons with her and learned a lot of skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, April 10, I had my road test. I was very nervous. I had to show a lot of skills on the road test. I had to show that I could handle the car carefully. I took my time and didn\u2019t go fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had to stop at the line at a red light. I&nbsp; had to stop and start on the hill. I had to choose a place and show I could do parallel parking. Then I drove back. The tester told me I passed! I was so excited! I was surprised and in shock! I called my sister who was at work to tell her I passed. &nbsp; My mom took me out to lunch. Then later in the evening we went to get an ice cream cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next weekend I went home and went for a drive in my neighborhood!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a picture of me in the driver\u2019s seat.
