Taking Responsibilities

I have never minded...I didnt care... I didnt even look at....

Now finally noticed the importance of them.

Im going to driving skool these days. I started to go to Matsugazsaki driving skool from 11th of this month. Since then, I go there every day. The system of the skool is kinda severe. I have to take many lectures and practice driving a car w professional driver. I have two big paper exams. One is to get a learner's permit and the other one is to get a license. In addition to these exams, of course I gotta take driving tests two or three times. I already bought a book to study for the paper exams. It costed 1,000yen. Until I go to the skool, I have never imagined that all of the car drivers took every classes and lectures in driving skool as well.

I have heard that in the US or other countries' systems of driving skool r more easy and simple. At first I was jealous to my friends who came from those countries and already have licenses. My skool is too severe, I thought.

However, the more I learn about traffic rule and driving, the more I get scared. I was thinking that driving a car is not such a big deal. Just step the accelerator or the break, or engage the clutch. Yet, I was completely wrong. It was very difficult to adjust those pedals. Also, timing is very important. I have to look at not only just in front of me and my car but also further away to get more information which is necessary to avoid serious accidents. I also have to look at sign board such as "Right of Way for Pedestrians"or "Halt sign" and so forth. However, my sight r becoming narrow whenever I drive a car.

Before I practice driving a car, I always do an image training many times, but during the driving there r no room for thinking about 1seconds later. Im always in a hurry. I check right and left side, then also look at the room mirror, but still dangerous. My engine stopped five times in the middle of the crossing road the day before yesterday. I lost countenance and was get into a panic. The reason y the engine stopped was that I mistakenly used third gear instead of low gear. They seemed similar so I didnt notice the difference. Timimg and Adjustment r very important but difficult. I always cant change the gear from low to second smoothly. I will take an examination to get a learner's permit. Tmr is the day of evaluation by my teacher. I hope I can pass it without any probs...

I was a pedestrian or a rider of a bicycle for a long time.21 years exactly.　I have ridden on a car many times of course, but not on the driver's seat. I have never controlled the vehicle which has very big power which can destroy things made by concrete or even can kill many people at once. I took 10 lectures about traffic rules already at my driving skool. It seems troublesome but I think these r very helpful and valuable. I didnt know that I didnt know many of the meaning of traffic signs. I didnt care rather than I didnt know, actually.

Driving a car means I have to take responsibility if anything serious happened. To tell the truth, Im scared of it. Car is very attractive thing coz it has very strong power and high speed. People r tend to yearning for both of them. However, I decided that I will remember it has risks whenever I drive it.

Now Im practicing driving the manual car not the automatic car. It is very tricky and difficult. However, I will do my best. Coz I wanna take my family es, my grandma and grandpa to somewhere in gratitude. I will drive a car and go to many places w them as they used to take me before. If I could drive, they can drink and sleep. They dont have to worry about anything. If they were happy, I would be happy too. I rly wanna return a favor. I will continue my part-time job as long as I can.

I will leave Japan soon. Provably from this fall, I will study abroad. Before that and after that too, of course, I wanna do what they want me to do. To go shopping often w my grandma is my dream. I will buy anything what she wants. They r getting older and older so I wanna be w them as much as I can.
I rly need the driving license!! I gotta get it!!
