It was a very busy Saturday in my uncle's house where I live. The bathroom is being renovated. At around 7 PM, the floor tiles were laid and the new vanity was almost installed. the plumbing is just being fitted and it will be all done. It is almost dinner time as we eat by 8 PM but we still have nothing to eat. I don't cook so I normally just assist my uncle. But this time my uncle is supervising the work being done he can't cook our dinner. I am not that confident to cook by myself so we thought of buying chicken from Mary Brown's. I was asked to buy the chicken and upon learning I would be driving alone, I immediately got the keys and left. The place where I went was probably less than 5 miles away but for me it was a very nice feeling and experience to drive alone. It was my first time to use my uncles gray Camry since I got my driving license 5 months ago. I hope I save some money to be able to buy my own car.

Good story, it's always a rush doing something for a first time, and driving is a good feeling, doing it alone gives you an ultimate sense of freedom and adventure. I remember my first time driving alone, it was the day my father gave me my car, though he did not teach me how to drive it, he just gave me the keys and I drove three hours home without knowing the directions too well, it was interesting. At that time I felt a little vulnerable, never driving that car before and never driving alone, and never driving so far on a route I did not know... Then when I was driving and found out the wiring didn't work so I had no break lights, or head lights, though good thing it was sunny out, and also it was good that a cop did not find me with turn signals and breaking lights haha. I thought my father was a little careless at that time to give me a defective car, never teach me to drive it, and then tell me to drive home alone on roads I never saw... That's basically how my father is, but at least he gave me a car haha. That drive definitely taught me how to pay attention to road signs I will tell you!
