I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.
I remember that, when my mum      me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been      for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was      me at the same time.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was      to leave its warmth and      to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself     .
The first thing I thought of after getting up was to     . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly     , but was still too big for my appetite that day. I kept telling myself that I     eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this wasn’t a(n)      day. Besides maybe it would      me a little. But I doubted it. I left the kitchen because even the      made me feel sick.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t     , so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had      time, so I thought we could practise parking. I     , with the wheel hitting the pavement. After that, the little bit of confidence I had was     . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving      site.
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my         . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to e back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The      that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The      of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.
