Adventures in Driving!!

Do you remember when you went to take the test to get your permit?  Do you remember your first time behind the wheel?  How old were you?  15 years and 6 months? 16 years old?
For the teens in the group homes, getting a drivers license at the age of 16 is not their reality.  Teens living in a group home have to wait until they are 18 or out of the group home until they can think of getting a permit or license.
then they have to find someone who is willing to teach them how to drive.
i am currently teach two young ladies how to drive.  Taking them to get their permit and watching them fail their first written test was not easy.  Remembering to encourage them to keep studying the material and take practice tests.  finally, the both have their permits and are currently practicing their driving.

Most people say I am crazy, but I have the privilege of hearing the excitement in the girls' voices as they passed their written test.  To be apart of the accomplishment of another step to independence, is a honor for me.

I will keep you posted on their progress.  Until then, keep driving safe because the girls are watching you and telling me of everything other drivers are doing wrong :-)
