Building Confidence Behind the Wheel: My Journey So Far

Three months ago, I finally got my license at 24, after years of putting it off. Driving with my instructor felt easy, but now that it’s just me and my mom, every trip feels like a test. I still get anxious at intersections and worry about making mistakes with cars behind me. What’s helped is practicing short solo drives—like today, when I dropped something off for my mom. Each small trip boosts my confidence. I also started reviewing road rules online and watching YouTube driving tutorials. Little by little, I’m learning that it’s okay to feel nervous.
