Part 4-First Driving Test

​The day of my first test came.  I was anxious and worried and really didn’t know what to expect.  My driving instructor came with me and we drove to the testing centre.  I pretended to be calm and focused, but inside I was very scared. 
 
During the test, I followed all the instructions of the driving examiner and thought I had done a good job.  However, in the end, the examiner told me I had FAILED! He said it was because I went over the speed bumps too slowly three times.  If you do any mistake three times, it is an automatic fail. 
 
When I was told all of this, I was devastated. I gasped, held my breath and could hardly believe what I was being told.  How could going over a speed bump too slowly be something to fail me on?  I couldn’t understand!  I was so frustrated! What was I going to do now?  I depended so much on driving and I FAILED!
 
I let my instructor drive me back to my house, crying most of the way.  He tried to reassure me, but it was very hard to swallow.  I went inside my house and booked another test date.  I was lucky and got one in a month’s time.  Ok, I could do this. Then I broke down and cried and cried.  I felt so humiliated!  How could I have FAILED the test!!!!!
