I had to meet with my voc rehab counselor today. It actually went well. She finally got it through her head that I don't want any daycare jobs. We are going to try and find me something involving doing research for lawyers or working in the records department for the sheriffs department. I like doing research and I'm good at finding information on just about any topic. I have to get my drivers license so I can get one of those kind of jobs. I hope I can pass my drivers license test.

That's a cute name, Schatzi!

When you take your driving test, make sure you don't get behind the wheel until the tester tells you to.

Make sure you know how to parallel park and make a U-Turn.

Make sure you come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

Usually, driving tests are not that hard. They don't expect you to be an expert driver right away. That's why insurance is so high for people with 3 years or less of driving experience.

I failed four times already. If I fail again, my permit will be suspended. There is no parallel parking or a U turn on the test. There is a three point turn. I have been working on improving my three point turn as that is what I lost a lot of points on.

Thanks for the encouragement, Kraftie and HistoryGal.
