First Time Driving

As the sun rose, my mom was waking me up. "Megan it’s time for church, get up sweetie!" After I picked out my dress, put it on, and tied my shoes, I was ready to go. I quickly gulped down a glass of apple juice and dashed out to the car with my mom right behind me.

As we sat waiting for my brother, he popped his head out the door and yelled, "Mom!"

There I was alone in this huge piece of machinery that will move with a pull on a stick. So just as brave little me would do, I pulled that stick! "Crash!" Right into my neighbor’s camper! As my mom jolted out the door with her face turning from a smile to a panic, she screamed, "Megan, what did you do?"

With my pigtails bouncing, I sat there not knowing what I had done. The next thing I knew the cops were there. Well I had no injuries since I was not moving that fast, but my mom did get a fine for the damage. From that day on I learned that I would not drive a car until I could see over the dash.
