Young woman steer a car with the steering wheel

I was so happy when I passed my road test. It was my dream. Sincerely, to drive a car has always been my dream since I was young. I used to see people driving to and from work every day, so I made a promise to myself that one day I would learn how to drive.

So years later, I started studying for my G1, which is a test of sign, signals, and rules. When I thought I was ready, I took my G1 test, but unluckily I failed it. In spite of that, I didn’t give up and I went again after one week and I passed it on the second try. I was so happy because for me it meant I was half way to achieving my goal. After the G1, I waited almost one year to take the G2 test. On this test, it meant I had to show the examiner how to drive a car on the road.

I then googled different driving schools and they all charged different fees; some schools were too expensive for my pocket, but fortunately, I found one school which offered a good package, so I emailed them and booked my lessons . I attended lessons and after I finished my lessons, the school provided me with an instructor who taught me how to drive a car. My instructor was so helpful and taught me well and put up with my all mistakes. Finally, the time came when I booked my final road test. I was close to my success and I was so happy and thrilled. The day before my test, I couldn’t sleep and different thoughts came into my mind. Questions such as, “What will happen if I fail? I have spent lots of money on this. "It was not pleasant!

On the following day, I went to the driving test centre. The examiner was so kind and humble and also made me very comfortable while I was driving, so I felt much more confident. When I finished my road test, my examiner said, "You have passed!” My jaw dropped when I heard that. I had achieved my expectation and destination. I can now say I am as proud as a peacock that has achieved one more life goal and I am very happy.
