My elder sister, Barbara, was going to get her license to drive. She has always been a nervous ， and of course, taking her driving test made her even more nervous. All her friends passed on the first try, but she didn't feel . She knew that her blood seemed to go cold when she got nervous.
The big day of the test came, and out she went with the person who conducted the road test. We all went with her to her. We waited anxiously in the parking lot as she left with her driving inspector to show her skills.
Later, as they drove into the parking lot, we were waiting for a sign that she had passed. But when I saw her ， I knew the news was not good. She was not smiling.
The driving instructor got out of the and walked inside the building. We looked over Barbara. She her head and put her hands over her face. She was very upset. What would her friends say?
Her next driving test came about one month later, and this time, she was ready. We all went to the testing site the instructors worked.
“Don't stick around at the testing site. It makes me ！” She told us. So we agreed to go for a walk. We had about an hour to wait until she would be finished.
Later, as we were walking, we heard a horn honking. We turned to look and it was Barbara driving in the car by herself! She had passed the test, and she had her . She had come looking for us.
We all got in and went for a long drive. She did . She was the proudest girl on Earth. I turned to my dad and said, “I can't wait it's my turn！”
My poor dad, who had just gone through months of teaching my elder how to drive, said with a smile, “I can！”
That day, I realized that it was not easy being a parent!
