Driving

Yes, I did. I earned it by enrolling in a driver's education course, studying for and passing the written driving test, and then passing a behind-the-wheel driving test with a licensed instructor.

3. When did you get your driver’s license?

I got my driver’s license in January 2023. 

4. Do you think it is difficult to drive a car?

I believe that all young people should have the opportunity to learn to drive, but that it should not be mandatory. Learning to drive can be a valuable skill to have, but each individual must decide if it is something they want to pursue.
