I have been unemployed for 3 yrs now and I also have 3 kids so, I guess you should know that I am on welfare. Every time I look for a job all I see is drivers needed. I neither have a drivers licence or a permit. I needed a job so, I had to do what I had to do. I needed to do a driving lessons course and although I didn't have the money, I had to find it. I searched for the most affordable one and I did find it. The course would take me 8 weeks in total. I enrolled in the driving lessons course and payed my money. The classes was to begin in 1 week time so, it gave me time to prepare. I had to hire a babysitter and of course I couldn't afford it but, I had to find the money. Being a single mother of 3 children it tends to me difficult for women to deal with children and do classes but, I had to do what I had to do. I hired a babysitter and she wasn't really what I wanted but, she had to do.

My driving lessons course started on time and the teacher was very stern and he looked very unapproachable. He lead us in a car the first day of class and told us to name the different parts of the vehicle and explain each. It was quiet difficult for me but, I lived past the moment. he gave us constant pop quiz and told us we must always be prepared. My teacher was the type of person that didn't tolerate idleness in his class and once you failed a quiz it was double quiz for you the next time around. The driving lessons course became so difficult throughout the course and sometimes I felt to give up. During the remainder of the class I did well and I got an A at the end. The next task was the practical and I feared the actually taught of it. The instructor was actually very nice and he guided me throughout the entire driving process. I wasn't good in reversing at first but, he assured me that everyone had the same problem and practice makes perfect. I completed the practical side of driving and I applied for the chauffeur job and to my surprise i had to pay for insurance which I didn't have the money for so, the company paid until I received for first pay.
