First Solo Commute: From Nervous Beginner to Confident Driver

Today was a milestone for me—drove myself to work for the very first time! I’m 21, got my NYC license back in July, and honestly, I had zero driving experience when I met my husband. He bought a Mercedes Benz and didn’t hesitate to let me take the wheel. I made it to work in 16 minutes, feeling both careful and confident. I’m curious to see how the drive home at 3 PM goes, but I’m not too worried. For anyone just starting out, my advice is to trust yourself, take it slow, and celebrate every small win.
