If They Only Give Us More Time

If They Only Give Us More Time by Alex Tow

Driver education is vital to reduce injuries and deaths caused by driving. In Oklahoma, there are several programs to consider to obtain driver education and also to be informed. There is no excuse for not taking safety driving education because it is offer in the high school and also by private schools. As millennials, we should rely in the experience of our elders and take matters about driving with caution, care and interest.

It is shocking to know that the death toll among teenagers is so high. At this moment, I have my driving permit and I drive but I feel somehow scare of the freedom and the huge responsibility. I always depend on my mom and dad driving me everywhere and now my older sister. I wish to tell you that it is easy but it is not, the kids at my school talk about car wrecks all the time and that make me wonder. My mom is constantly bugging me to drive more and practice to get my license but I don’t think I am ready. Other kids probably think that I am crazy; the fact is that I am not ready. I want more time to know the roads better and figure it out for myself. I know I am different but I don’t want to fall in the pressure of this rushing world. Someday I will drive with confidence, I will know all the rules and drive safely.

It is true that knowledge is power but in driving practice is everything. I am taking my time that’s all. I hope every teenager and youth like me will take the time to consciously learn and practice. And I also wish our society will not place such a great pressure on us. How do you address social issues without being preachy? Right? Please be safe.
