you’re not the only one, and you shouldn’t blame yourself. everyone starts at different times. all you have to do is the next right thing, and find people you trust to help you learn and that you both remain patient with the process. ❤️

get a driving instructor!! they will be way more patient and helpful than your mom. i went to driving school and i was able to take the driving test with them which ended up being way easier than if i did it at the dmv. they had a specific way of teaching parallel parking that only worked in their parking lot with their cars but i didn’t mind 😂 i learned how to parallel park on my own afterwards

I’m also 21, just got my learner’s permit (again!), and signed up for lessons from AAA. It’s pricey, but cheaper than anyone else, and so worth it!
