That hour drive felt like an eternity. I was anxiously and impatiently squirming around in my seat waiting for my dad to arrive at the lot to take my road test; I couldn 't wait. Thankfully, the skies were clear and the roads were dry; I couldn 't have asked for a better day to take my test, but still, I couldn 't even feel my body. I felt like every minute that passed by was a whole hour within itself; I just wanted to be there already. My dad was trying to give me motivational pep talks to help me feel more confident, but they weren 't really helping. I knew I was ready; however, I felt like I would crack under all the pressure. I just wanted the test to be over with already and it hasn 't even started. Finally, we arrived. There were …show more content…
I saw the conductor mark down on her scoring device; I knew I had caused myself some points off. I had to force myself to stop thinking so much or else I would never pass. I got back on track within a few seconds; I still thought I had a chance. It came time to do my three-point-turn; I nailed it. I used my blinkers correctly and checked every mirror during the turn; I was thankful I remembered the correct motions to follow. I had to exaggeratedly turn my head to make sure the conductor realized I was making the effort to check all my mirrors. I made sure she didn 't think I wasn 't checking my surroundings correctly. I was also nervous when it came time to parallel park, but I nailed that too. I didn 't even have to finish pulling up all the way to the curb before the conductor motioned me to move on. I was on my way back to where I started; I had to make a right turn. I exaggerated my breaking a little too much even though I saw no cars were coming; I knew that mess up was going to cause me points off as well. Sure enough, I saw the conductor look back down at her scoring device and mark a mistake; however, I still felt confident. The conductor and I pulled back into the lot; I saw my dad look up from his conversation. I could tell he was trying to read the expression on my face to try and tell how it went, but even I wasn 't too sure yet. As the conductor was figuring out the points in her scoring device I started losing a little confidence and doubting myself. The
“I got a C. I didn’t know how to do anything,” I told her glumly. Mom took my face in her hands.
On December 18th, 2017, the Trump administration implemented new safety regulations that require commercial truck drivers to use electronic logging devices. And these are some of the current trucking-related headlines “Trucking is right now … experiencing a severe crisis”. “Trucking Industry Struggles with Growing Driver Shortage”. You might think to yourself: “I haven’t noticed it”.
The speaker in the sample persuasive speech appealed to logos many times in her presentation. She stated different statistics about teen driving and how many people are affected by them. One example that she used was that at sixteen years old the brain of the teenager is not fully developed and not fully grown, and therefore they cannot effectively judge. Plus, she uses statistics to show just how many lives have been affected and killed by teen driving or had teen driving involved. I also believe that the speaker appealed to pathos because she touches on the emotional side of the topic. She quoted and talked about a father who had his teenage son killed in a car crash. He was devastated and urged for something to be done about teen driving.
She assured me that I would be fine, that I won’t succeed if I don’t even try. I wonder now if she said that because she didn’t want to sit in the car to wait for me for longer than she had to. Maybe she dismissed the thought of me failing, and she didn’t want to delay my success. The testing center would give me two hours, anyways. I could write a believable essay in two hours, couldn’t I?
As I breezed through the multiple choice sections and on to the free response questions, I began to feel a steady sense of ease as the information seemed to be coming back to me fairly quickly. The information, for the most part, had been imprinted onto my long term memory from the previous semester. Months later, when the memory of that stressful morning, and the night leading up to it, had since faded from memory, I received my score report for the exam. I had scored a perfect 5 out of 5. All that anxiety had been for nothing and in the end, I had received the score that I would never have thought possible on the morning of the
As I walk into the school, I take a deep breath repeating the words “I can do this, I’ve done it before.” Laying my paper down to the table, the woman gives me the okay to head up to room 222. Walking up the stairs I could feel my heartbeat pound harder and harder, as if I had an elephant pounding on my chest. Realizing this was my last chance to take this test before I started applying to colleges, made my stress level rise uncontrollably.

Brace yourselves everyone! This is Dave Smith here at the scene of the wreck on I-92. A semi pulled in front of them, and they swerved to avoid hitting it. If I were them, I would take the back roads like Route 66. Route 66 has small town restaurants, stores, and everyone knows everyone. It does not have those huge semi's that zoom past you. It is not busy at all. This road has landmarks, and stuff that you might never see again.
I opened the doors and walked into the building where a young, peppy lady sat at the wooden desk in front of me and excitedly greeted me saying, “Hi! Can I have your name please?” It was the day of my driving test and my nerves are getting to me more than ever before. The words “Andrew Tenore,” came out in a sputtery mess. “Thank you, take a seat. Goodluck!” she called. There was a couple other people waiting with me, all with the same blank, distressed face as myself. As I sat there, for what felt like forever, I began to have thoughts about how this test could go.
I will now be providing you with a few facts, personal experiences, and reasons on why you should travel!
Vroom! Vroom! We have to go hit the road, but what are we going to pack to travel the world? You would probably pack a million things. What if you could just take your items in a book bag? All the item have to be inside not out or attached to the bag. So what would you pack? I would pack my phone, charger, clothes, passport, identification, maps, shoes, and lastly, but definitely not least, money or a credit card.
Shopping for the car is something everyone must learn because there are many factors that must be considered because beside purchasing a house purchasing a car is the second biggest purchase must people make and the purchase of the wrong car can affect you in so many ways.
For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
