1. Happy First Time

I could hardly believe that i finally had the chance
to drive in the humongous parking lot, across from were my
favorite uncle lives, which is the best place
ever.....Illinois!!!!! We took our rental a,"highlander," to the
parking lot,that took us only 3 seconds to get to. When we
got there my older sister went first and then i went. I
switched seats,put my seat belt on and was very excited
but scared to be behind the wheel. He told me to check
the mirrors. Then i put my foot on the gas really hard. But
thankfully the car wasn't in drive. Though when i put it in
drive he told me to press the breaks. I pushed really hard
like i did the gas and my annoying cousin Kayla 15 and still
acts like a child and my older sister 13 who also acts like a
child also were pretending to cry.
I drove around for a little while in the parking lot,and i
didn't even hit a curb unlike my sister. I was so proud of
myself for being able to drive carefully,safely, and happily.
