"A Huge Mistake"
I finally had it! I had the golden ticket in my hand! Okay, it wasn’t really golden—it was actually blue, and it wasn’t really a ticket—it was my driver’s license! Finally, after all the driving classes and practice drives, I at last had the little plastic card that would provide me the autonomy to drive wherever I wanted. Only one thing was missing: I didn’t actually have a vehicle yet, but I was saving up and figured I would have that sweet, sweet freedom eventually. Until that time, however, I had to share my family’s beat-up sedan with my overbearing older sister who monopolized the car for her so-called job every day. It was so incredibly frustrating.
