Throughout the past six years since my accident there has
been many “firsts". I remember the first time I pushed my glasses up on my nose
by myself…the first time I pushed my own chair…the first time I typed an
email…went to work…and so much more. Today I added something else to that list;
today, I drove to and from work by myself!
As many of you know, I purchased my pickup back in January
and have been teaching myself how to drive ever since then. I know what you’re
thinking…it’s been ten months and she’s just now soloing? To answer that
question, I must ask - have you ever tried to operate your gas/brake with
one hand and steer with the other, all while having little hand function? Let
me tell you it’s a bit difficult!

However, after a few more modifications and plenty of
cruising the back roads, I finally felt completely comfortable to venture out
by myself...wait, I’ll take that back, my PARENTS finally felt completely
comfortable! I, myself, was ready a while ago! =)
Anyways, here is to another first…may there be many more in
my future!
