Yesterday was the day I took my driving test. I was super super nervous because I didn't want to fail, but end up I did anyways and it was embarrassing. I did the worst parking I have ever done and my dad was trying to argue these 2 points that took about 30 mins. What was worse was that I had to sit in the car the whole time and the girl before me who passed came back and more people came to the parking lot waiting to take their driving test. I was so ashamed. I only told 2 people that I was taking the test and good thing I did because there was so much expectation that I would pass and end up I didn't. I failed and I didn't even get to go on the road. It didn't hit me very hard until I got home and I exploded into tears and was so miserable for a couple of hours. I never wanted to take the test again because I was afraid of failing.
So on our way to dropping my sister off at soccer practice, my dad brought my mom and I backed to the testing place to let me practice again and I did everything perfectly since I had experience on how they were going to test me. He also taught me a valuable lesson that I am beginning to understand and want to use. He said that never feel intimidated by anyone; they are here to help you. The worse they can do is say no to you. They aren't trying to be mean and they can't be biased. My dad was trying to help me get past the fear of what other people might think of me because truthfully I am intimidated by strangers like I am afraid of what they might think of me, but after talking to my dad I am trying to be less afraid of what other people might think because I am only hurting myself if I give into what other people want. I need to think of myself and what I want, and I want my license (: Also, I realized that failure doesn't mean that I am a failure in life; it just mean that I made my life more interesting by having an obstacle and something to work for like a journey. Also it is a great story to tell the future children. (: I am going again next time, but with a greater confidence and getting past the parking! Has anyone else ever failed their driving test?

Was that your first time to take the driving test? It’s sad to hear what happened, but what you can do is take what you can from what happened and move forward. Failing doesn’t mean you can’t drive – it just means you still need to pick up a few things. Anyway, it’s good that your father helped you practice. As they say, practice makes perfect!
