Transport Thoughts

Last year, my mother told me she would buy me a new car if I would take a driving course. I really wanted to this new car because I was currently driving an old beat up ugly van! Not only was it an ugly van, it had several issues with it as well! The air conditioner did not work, and the sliding door would not operate as well. My friends teased me about my van, and called it the cheese wagon, because it was painted a bright but dingy yellow color. I would say that it was more like an old rotten cheese wagon! I started the new class and I had to pass with an A, because my mother said that any other grade would not be accepted! The driving instructor was an old lady that wore these pointy black glasses. I wondered if she even knew how to teach a class being as old as she seemed to be! I soon learned that she was a very nice lady, and that she knew exactly what she was teaching. We had small books with different safety precautions, driving laws, and other useful information contained within them. At the end of the course, I discovered that I was not going to receive a new car (any time soon) because I did not pass with a good grade. I would simply have to retake the course! When I applied for the second time, the old lady was not there! There was a new man instructing the class. I asked where the old lady had went, and the man said that she had decided to retire after her last class. I really missed her, and decided to visit her. When I drove up to her house, the lady was sitting on her front porch swing drinking tea. I talked with her a while, and told her that I had to pass this new class in order for my mother to buy me a new car. The lady said that I should just fix up the old van and decorate it with my own artistic paintings. I thought this was a great idea! I talked to my mother, and she agreed. I decided to continue the new class, but instead of receiving a new car, we would buy the materials to decorate my trendy van. After the repairs and art, my friends now love my vehicle! I now visit the old lady several times a week for tea, and love our new friendship!
