PracticeA Story by Shane MeenanMoral/lesson- Practice makes perfect.I couldn’t wait to turn sixteen and get behind the wheel of a car. My brother was driving for a year and I was so jealous of him. Having the freedom to go and come when I wanted sounded amazing. So the day after my birthday my aunt and I went to get my learners permit. I held the permit tightly in my hand as my aunt drove us to Temple parking lot. Then it happened, she told me to get in and there I was behind the wheel of a car. She then explained about the brakes, gas, gears, mirrors and other stuff. I couldn’t wait to put my foot on the gas and get that special feeling. It was fun but little did I know there would be hours of practice and tests to be taken for driving discounts. My aunt constantly dictating and critiquing my every action. It started to feel like a job instead of fun. But the day finally came and I scheduled my test. My aunt and I drove to Huntingdon Valley and waited for my turn. I guess all the practicing and my aunt dictating paid off. I got my license. That night I grabbed the keys off the counter and headed for the door, finally freedom. I guess anything that really matters does not come easy. My parents made me do hours of preparation but now I feel confident. All I can say is in the end it was well worth it! © 2017 Shane Meenan |
