I PASSED!!!

Comments:
: Greetings! : At 8:40 eastern time Tuesday October 28, 1997, I became : a legally liscensed driver! : I was a nevous wreck, but I got the nicest trooper (no : that is not a contradiction in terms). He was very helpful : and actually had a personality. : I have definitely driven better in the past than I drove today, but : I drove well enough to pass. As he was filling out the : paper work, he looked at my birth date and said "You've : waited a long time for this." By this time I was a little : teary eyed and I explained that when I was 16 they told : me I'd never drive but between my eyes improving and : the improvements in contact lenses now I could try for : a liscense. He congratulated me and told me to be safe. : To all of those considering driving or in the midst of : the process. Good Luck! I am by no means an expert. I : still have a lot to learn, but I am looking forward to : learning!! It is an arduous, frustrating process, but the : pay off is big! I hope you all know someone like my friend : Jeanne. She was and continues to be a huge supporter and : didn't even bat an eye when I bashed in the back left signal : on her van. She is a patient teacher and a true friend. : Thanks to all in NOAH and on these boards who offered their : support and best wishes. : Take care, : Lee Laughlin, L.D. (Liscensed Driver:-)
