In our life, we do so many difficult things knowingly and unknowingly. For some difficult tasks, we get appreciation and some remain unnoticed by others.
Last year I passed my driving test. I was the last one in my group of friends to do this – and they all thought it was arduous task – so I was expecting a difficult time preparing for it.
I got my sister to ask me lots of questions about the information to make sure I could respond correctly and knew all about the rules of the road and what to do in certain situations and things like that.
I booked some lessons with a driving instructor and, personally, I found driving very easy. That might be because I had always been fascinated by watching my father drive the car when I was little, and, in fact, after the third lesson my driving instructor said that I was a natural driver.
After a few more lessons I applied for the road test and I was a little nervous on the day – but everything went very well and after the test had finished the examiner informed me that I had passed – and done it very well on the first attempt – which most people don’t do.
He congratulated me and I was extremely happy and all my friends were surprised when I told them because most of them had done the test more than once in order to pass. So I had been the most successful in passing the driving test in my group of friends. My family arranged a special celebration for me because they were so happy about how well I had done in the test.
