I want to learn many skills such as cooking, driving, swimming and so on. Among them, driving, which I think is very difficult, is one of the most desirable skills for me or at least as good as others. Actually, I had a great deal of fear in my mind towards driving, so that I could gain confidence. My father got me enrolled at a driving school named BRTC, where Mr. Abdullah was my instructor who was very confident, supportive and well behaved. However, on my first day, he helped me to gain control over the steering. Though we were driving on the ground with no vehicles around, nevertheless, I was still scared and trembling, but my instructor motivated me to boost up my confidence. Once I got on the highway, frankly speaking, every time the truck was coming from the other side, I was getting off the road in fear. But this time, my trainer got a little angry with me and said, you must keep the course if you want to learn this skill. However, slowly but steadily, I got more and more confidence and comfortable with driving on the road in different conditions. I was feeling that I have learned. Thank you.
