Driving

When I came to Canada I didn’t know how to drive. It was a big challenge for me to learn to drive because of Canada's snowy weather. I started taking driving classes that lasted for two months. I took 13 classes and got the confidence to drive. I booked a test for a G2 licence. I took the test but unfortunately I didn't pass it. I took three more classes and booked another test. But the second time again I didn't pass it. My minor mistakes made me fail the test . I felt very unmotivated at that time. I thought I can't do it . But then my husband supported me and told me that failure is always good. He told me that you should learn from your mistakes and prepare again for the test. Now I am ready again to attempt the test, but with this I realise that in Canada learning to drive is not difficult, it's passing the test to get a licence .
