I have been driving for over 30 years,but I can still remember what happened that day when I drove a car for the first time. My mum had driven our big Plymouth to a 27       and deserted back road and 28        it. It was a oneway road and had a 29       built with river rocks along the side of it,but Mum knew there was little 30        of meeting any traffic on it that day. With a smile,she gave me the key and 31        seats with me. And then she told me to 32        the car,to put it into drive and to 33        push on the gas pedal.

  In spite of excitement,I 34       what "gently" meant.  After I pushed on the gas pedal,the car sped 35       . Before I could turn the 36       ,I heard the scratch of metal against the stone wall. I 37       the car and looked over at Mum. Her face was 38        and her hands were trembling. Slowly,she opened her door and began checking the car. Then she walked 39        around the car to the drivers side door. I kept waiting for her to 40        at me but she just 41        and said, "Well,that's enough for today. We'll try again tomorrow."

  As I 42        that day,I am amazed at the 43       amount of kindness,love and 44        my mum showed me. In the years that followed,I messed up many times in many ways. Often I didn't feel worthy to be 45       ,but each time I could feel Mum's gentle voice, "We'll try again tomorrow."When we fall today,don't stay 46      Rise up and be ready to try again tomorrow.
