Personal Narrative-Changing Age

Maturity and rationalization is not yet achieved or experienced by teenagers. In the era of technology there are several distractions for drivers of any age to maneuver. Parents can play an educational role by enrolling their teen into a driver’s educational program. Some states require students to complete a comprehensive graduated drivers licensing (GDL) program prior to receiving their license. The brain function is still developing in teenagers and may impede the quick thinking process necessary to become a responsible driver. For the safety and welfare of teenagers the age requirement in Arizona for a driver’s license should be increased from 16 to 18 years of age.

In the article by Donna St. George titled, ‘’Teens Are in No Rush to Drive,” she writes about teenagers who have been waiting to obtain their driver's licenses. They have more activities to do. Parents shuttle their kids a lot and drive them everywhere that there used to be driven everywhere. There’s enough technology people don't need to meet their friend to talk to them they can just obtain on the internet and text them. There are new laws requiring more hours to have safer drivers. The driving school is expensive and some parents can't afford it. Gas and insurance also are very expensive.

Well we all can't wait to drive and get our license at 16 but some of us are, sometimes a little careless. Did you know that in2013, 2,163 teens in the U.S ages 16-19 were killed and 243,243 were treated in the emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor vehicles crashes. That means that six teens ages 16-19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries. Others are like how would i get to school think about this if there was no cars you would ride a bus or your parents when you were 15 and under you didn't drive and it wouldn't be a problem if you didn't drive till you were 21 nothing would change. Being teens we like to do teen things like party and hang with friends and thing but you have to think

Driving has become an integral part of today's society.The ability to commute long distances and perform daily tasks quickly (such as picking up food at the grocery store) is evidence of our advancement in technology.Naturally earning the ability to drive is a cornerstone in anyone's life,"sixteen" being an age well remembered for this new-found knowledge. This changed however when Oregon passed a law limiting these privileges called "graduated licensing" - and although its intentions are well meaning graduated licensing's result is far from perfect.

I am fully aware that many young adults are eager to get behind the wheel but doing it safely is the best method. Experts claim,” teens in these states may be waiting until they turn 18 to apply for a license because that allows them to bypass the restrictions”. Honestly, this is the reason for which I haven’t studied to receive my permit and get experience behind the wheel, may be also because I’m lazy it is another reason for which I think teens wait until 18. Waking up early on Saturday mornings to get a feel what it’s like is much more simpler than studying for it to get a permit when 16. I personally think I’d be wasting my time, but in this case it is more beneficial for the driver's

Half way through my sophomore year, I got my driver’s license. Every teenager looks forward to when they can go driving around town. I turned sixteen on February sixth in two-thousand fourteen. Teenagers can get a little rebellious on the roads. On April twenty-third of the same year, I learned that it isn’t good to be rebellious.

Driving is well known necessity in many places, many young teens await their time to drive. To young teens, driving is what they look up to they tend to ask their parents to drive even if their one year under 15. The driving age in Hawaii right now is 16 years of age, but to get your permit it is 15 and a half. That seems somewhat fair, but we all know their are a vast variety of different people with their opinionated facts and questions. Turning the age of 15 is a ginormous step into the adulthood, it is when you are legally allowed to drive a car. It totally matters on what kind of person you are, because it could take some responsibility or understanding the risks of driving. In this essay I will be explaining why people think the driving

How would teenagers react to a law that states that one must receive a high school diploma in order to obtain a driver’s license? I, for one, would not be a jolly camper, as I rely on the ability to drive for functions similar to school or work. I also see countless young adults would oppose this law for the same reasons. In this essay, I will dive into the effects of this law, including the hidden obscurities that would have those effects tied to them.

My early years were a patchwork of typical suburban activities--school projects, basketball teams, and zany summer camps. I hung out with friends from church who lived generally carefree lives with few heavy responsibilities. Naturally, I fell into the same boat just through my own assimilation into that core group of friends. Recently, my father stepped down as the lead pastor of our church to pursue a different calling as a missionary consultant to churches across the United States. The week after my parents said their final good-byes to the congregation, my brother went off to college in Arizona, followed by the start of my senior year of high school. Everything was happening so quickly at that time, but it wasn’t

I keep aging and it doesn’t stop, I keep hearing a constant ringing noise from dawn to dusk. I am not sure if it’s the age or anything else, but I sense my soul has passed on to another life, as my body wanders around decaying with each step, losing who I was yesterday. Staring into the mirror is not the same as it was the other day, my ears are dropping every single day. However, when I am lying in bed I sense peace with this ringing noise and I sense myself drifting away into another universe only to wake up in hell.

Majority of siblings today experience different events in life whether it be their social interests, different personalities, even their age difference. My brother and I do not see eye to eye on a lot of things because of these factors. I tend to be more of a leader and he is more-so a follower. Travis is very anti-social and does not want to be involved in the world around him. Me, on the other hand, I want to see as much the world as I can and be involved in college and in the community. Although my brother and I grew up in the same household together, we both have experienced different things throughout our lives and find different things more appealing more-so than others.

     If you had told me when I turned sixteen that I couldn’t get my license until I turned eighteen, I would have thrown a fit. Now that I am older, I realize that I had no business driving an automobile at 16 years old. I was the typical teenage driver. The cool one, who had the “Detroit

Within days of turning sixteen, I made an appointment for my driving test. In the early seventies, the process of acquiring a Driver's License was not as complex as it is today. Less than two months after turning sweet sixteen, I proudly held a piece of paper allowing me to legally drive an automobile. My bank account had grown enough to purchase a quality, used car, but I lacked the finances to purchase the required expensive,

The next day, I prepared to go to my moms work at the school while she stayed home. I wish that I could have just stayed at home, but my ‘mom’ insisted I needed to go because it was a teacher work day. So there I was, stuck driving a van- My mom had given me a long lesson the day before- as my mom sat at home playing my video games.
