So a skill that I recently learned from my grandfather is driving. As my father is very busy with his job, my grandfather decided to teach me how to drive. I believe that driving is a very important skill, not just for me but for everybody. For me personally, driving taught me independence. As a child, I always craved a sense of freedom and wanted to be an individual person who could complete tasks without depending on anybody. As someone who absolutely loves traveling, I believe that driving is also a necessary skill if one needs to travel to nearby locations. Recently, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take my car and travel to Sabudara, which is near my hometown. The hills were absolutely stunning, and I felt a sense of freedom. It was definitely a wonderful experience for me to go to the hills by myself in my own car without depending on anybody. I thank my grandfather, my instructor, who made this possible because it was due to his wisdom and patience with me that I was able to achieve this.
