Write an essay on your first drive in a motor car

Explanation:
We pulled up in a next to empty parking lot; it was about 10:30a.m. as I looked down at the clock. The driver got out and walked around to my door and told me to get out, I looked at her kind of funny but somewhat scared not knowing what to think. She opened my door slowly and told me to get out, my mom then told me that she thought I'd like to drive. I looked at her oddly considering I was only fourteen at the time and said "sure".
I got out and ran to the other side half excited and half scared. I was thinking and somewhat hoping that it wouldn't be that hard and that it would be something like one of my favorite games 'Pole Position'. I got in and pressed my foot on the brake, put the car in reverse and went flying backwards. I soon realized that screaming "woah" would not make the car stop.
My mom calmly looked over at me and said, "Try the brakes", of course knowing exactly what would happen she braced herself as the car came to a screeching halt. Finally backed out of the parking space she had put me in, I put the car in drive and we went flying forward, also knowing this would happen my mom braced herself again.
She then told me that neither pedal needed to be pushed to the floor. I made it around the parking lot a few times it was kind of jumpy but I'm sure most people's first time is.
From there I kept driving in parking lots until I got better. The next thing I knew I had gotten my learners permit and I was legal to drive with an adult. My mom took me down to DMV on my birthday and as soon as we got out my mom tossed me the keys and said, "I've been driving for 40 years I'm tired of it".
I looked at her like she was crazy I had never driven on a road around other traffic, this proved to be interesting. I drove down Iron Bridge to my dads work, crossing over lanes of traffic and such just trying to get there
