Today is Friday 19 January, 2024, and I ticked off my first goal on my bucket list: Getting my driver’s licence! I’ve been scared of doing the test and failing since I was 16, but I finally decided to step it up and do a bunch of things that scare me this year, rather than procrastinating it.
I was really nervous for both the eye test and the DKT. My legs felt like jelly and I needed to pee, but honestly, both were quite straightforward. I had done 2 years worth of practice DKTs, and I knew all the answers and got full marks!!
The funny thing is, my Dad and I came out and he said “Start the car.” So I did, and then he sat in the passenger seat thinking I would drive us all the way home. Girl- I can’t even, I just know how to start the car, since that’s the only thing my mum had taught me (legally). Anyway, I told him he can’t be the passenger princess, and I sat at the back and pretended like he was my taxi driver.
Overall, I’m really proud of myself for getting my licence. It took a lot of effort and hard work, but mostly just mental will and saying no to my inner voice.
ps. I sent a photo to Kate and she said she was really proud of me!!
