“I finally drove the car alone for the first time just now.”

“I just passed my driving test a couple of days ago. I’m older. I am 20. I took the driving test in high school, but I chickened out of taking the actual road test. I have been dealing with anxiety about driving and all of that. I know it disappointed my parents because they got it when they were younger, and every time I went to a family event, they were like, ‘Did you get your license yet?’

“At Christmas my Nana gave me an Uber Christmas card, and I was like, ‘Alright, I gotta get my license. I have to grow up at some point. I finally drove the car alone for the first time just now. It was a little scary, but I had the music blaring and that helped. It’s a big deal for me to overcome a big hurdle like this.”
