Fourth of July has long been the day to commemorate not only the official decision to end our dependence on the British, but the plan to do it and the execution of that plan. This year will be no exception. Most folks will celebrate the day barbecuing, picnicking, going to concerts or a ball game, and of course, watching fireworks.
For many people, driving is a milestone in their personal growth. This is an activity that helps to solidify a person’s sense of independence.
I remember as a teen having to depend on others for a ride to certain activities. Whether or not I could attend, was usually decided by whether or not I could find a ride. There were certain places my parents would not drive me to, and other places where I didn’t want them to drive me. The bus, my bike, and my friends with licenses, were my “go to’s” for transportation. My parents believed we needed to be 17, and have adequate and professional driver’s training before allowing us to apply for a driver’s license.
As a young adult, if you’re not driving yet, that feeling can be just as tough. Depending on others to get you around, just doesn’t feel right when you hit a certain age. Many still don’t have a license because their life is too busy to take driving lessons. In our society where everyone seems to be going and coming at all times of the day, it’s difficult to imagine life without a driver’s license.
If it’s time for you to end your dependence on others to get you around, make the decision to drive, make the plan to take driving lessons, and execute that plan! We can help you gain your personal independence this year. We offer driver’s training when the student is available, because we know how busy most people are. Call us soon, and next Fourth of July you’ll be celebrating Independence Day with a new sense of freedom!
