Last Tuesday, May 11th, was my 17th birthday and everyone knows what that means...license! I was extremely nervous and it took me a while to fall asleep the night before. That morning, I left the house at 6:45 am to do a refresher course which I recommend to everyone! It really helped me to be more confident on the actual test. At 8 am I was already in line waiting anxiously, I was first! Around 8:05, a man came into the car to replace my instructor to give me the test. He introduced himself as Edgar and throughout the entire test, he sang "Happy Birthday" to me. After parallel parking (he gave me a high five!) I was no longer nervous, but I knew I couldn't get too excited. The test was quick and easier than I had expected. Getting my license was definitely the best birthday gift I could get! There are so many restrictions against teenagers now that it kind of killed it a little bit, but I'm still about to drive so I'm happy! I personally do not agree with the red stickers that are on my license plates and many of the other rules, but it is the law. There has been talk of Kyleigh's Law being overturned so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The day after my birthday, I had to take my first AP exam which was English. The test was three hours long and filled with writing essays and answering multiple choice questions, but it wasn't as horrible as I expected. I'm anxious to receive my score back and to see how well I did. I fortunately only took one exam, but there are many kids who had to go through this multiple times. Good luck to all of you who took the exams!
