Petra is my toyota car. She has been with us since 2006. She has survived many choques, 1 with mom and 4 with me. Yeah, I know. 4?! What the hell its wrong with u, why do u have a license ?! I asked myself the same thing. My family made fun of me, some friends included, and even though it was a joke like: " ur prima, who doesnt have a license yet, can drive better than u" , and I know they didnt do it to hurt my feelings, but it still hurts u know. Cause even though they are jokes, they can enter ur brain and stay in ur subconscious. But, moving forward, today, in my fourth choque, petra made me realize something. A very important lesson. I was always questioning the reason why I always chocar el carro even though I was careful. And then it hit me, I wasn't being careful, I was driving as if I had years of experience. In other words, I thought that I knew what I was doing, because I was afraid of admitting to myself that I wasn't good at something so simple, because then my family's jokes wouldn't be jokes anymore. But that was stupid, jumping into things before u are ready isn't gonna help u progress. And ignoring those hits that u get will get u nowhere. If u need to stop, and look at all the angles, dont be scared. Bajate del carro, verifica si tienes que darle para al frente o para atras, and dont worry, in the future, u'll be glad u did. And also, dont neglect those hits u took, if u ignore them, everytime u see them, u'll be hurt. So, go to them, wash them by yourself, reflect on what u did and what u should do to make it better next time, don't just cry in ur room, do something, and eventually people will come to help u. And u wont be alone.
