For this challenge I had to sit and actually think about which problem I wanted to describe. Just like anyone else in life, I have had a lot of problems I had to resolve.
I will talk about obtaining my license and gaining independence to go somewhere.
It took my mom going to California a few years ago for me to
finally get in the right mindset to get my license.
I had gone through so many years of just
simply renewing my permit and nothing would happen. Constant criticisms from family and friends about how lazy I was for not going to get the license but in actuality it was fear. I did not feel ready to go for that driving test.
Until my mom decided to go to California for about 6 months....She went to California and
I was stuck. Gloria would offer to take me to get groceries but I had other
places I need to go.
So while talking to
my friend Aarica I learned about this great driving school so I signed up and
got my license after 5 refresher lessons (including the day of the test for one
of the days). It was the best investment I made for myself.
This was my way of obtaining some independence. I was tired
of counting on people for rides. It sucks to ask people for favors and they don’t
always want to do them. It definitely sucked to be criticized and teased.
Gaining my license meant I could go to the store and
anywhere else my heart desired.
Problem Solved.
