Austin Cottingham 6 - Taking Drivers Ed.
With school schedules you have very little wiggle room for other classes that you may need or enjoy, this could be for example drivers ed, agriculture systems, or a music class, for us band nerds. I have a very messed up schedule this year so I could not take drivers ed. This was a bit of a worry of mine seeing as how my family needs the cut on the monumental insurance total that you get when you are a teenager, because companies do not think that younger people cannot drive and that is mostly true because a lot of crashes are caused by teens or distracted driving by teens. We had to turn towards another school over the summer or get bashed by the insurance, so we chose the drivers ed program at Green County Tech. Being honest I was a tad nervous going into a new school and meeting new people for at least two weeks. Me and my dad went to Green County Tech before the drivers ed started and talked to the office about the hours of the drivers ed course. The hours for the drivers ed course was from eight in the morning to noon. The course started and I had to drive from Brookland to Paragould every day ,(except for weekends). This was very tough at first because of the crazy traffic on the way to Paragould and in Paragould. I had to turn around once in the MacDonald's parking lot because a guy sped up and wouldn't let me over into the other lane to turn. The drivers ed classes were actually really easy and the people in the class were younger than me except for one kid in the back right, the teacher was also really nice. The actual driving part of the class was really easy even compared to the other even easier class that we had to take a week before the actual driving portion. Anyways the driving portion was almost over before I knew it. We only drove for thirty minutes and there was only three of us driving so in total you only had to drive around ten minutes. This was my time at Green County Tech and it wasn't half bad. If anyone needs a drivers ed course over the summer this is one of the easiest.

ReplyDeleteI understand your statement about it being difficult to fir Drivers Ed in our school schedules. The READ program gives all of us little to no wiggle room with our schedules. Though it will all be worth it when we graduate with a high school diploma and associates degree simultaneously, with no student loans! Insurance rates are crazy for teenagers. Then again, you are right about teens causing a lot of crashes. It is probably better that you were older than the others kids, so you do not have to talk to them lol. I hope the rest of your Summer Vacation is great!
