I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.
I remember that, when my mum 1 me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been 2 for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was 3 me at the same time.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was 4 to leave its warmth and 5 to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself 6.
The first thing I thought of after getting up was to 7. I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly 8, but was still too big for my appetite that day. I kept telling myself that I 9eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this wasn’t a(n) 10 day. Besides maybe it would 11 me a little. But I doubted it. I left the kitchen because even the 12 made me feel sick.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t 13, so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had 14 time, so I thought we could practise parking. I 15, with the wheel hitting the pavement. After that, the little bit of confidence I had was 16. I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving 17 site.
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my 18 I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The 19 that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The 20 of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.
