Driving

June 27 marks an ENORMOUS day for me. It’s the day when I take my drivers evaluation to get my license renewed.  I have tried three times already, but they always tell me the same thing. I need to work on my processing speed, which means you can’t do simple things quickly. It’s kind of related to reaction time, or “the, interval between stimulation and response.”

      The difference between this attempt and the others is, I have an excellent job which I have had for a year. I’m an Information Project Specialist at Parent to Parent of Georgia. Basically, I can handle more now! I have to be at work at a specific time and have assignments that are due. I also have to be a good multitasker or do multiple things at the same time. These are all good things in order to be a successful driver!

         It’s been 8 years since I’ve been unable to drive. I only had my license for 6 years before the privilege to drive vanished from my life!  My hope is that I will not have to spend hours waiting on Marta anymore or have to ask my kind and patient mother to take me to CVS. I don’t want to ask ANYONE to go out of their way for me.
