While in Tokyo for eighteen months working my parents decided to leave me under the supervision of my awesome big brother. Their jobs require them to travel often and I never wanted to leave my home and my friends. I was always acing the classes I would take as apart ofthe agreement of letting me live with my brotherandmyparents even took awaythe car they had bought for him,they said it wasinsurance. If I got hurt, that car would be headed of to the junk yard.I was so happy, my brother never tried to keep from certain possibly dangerous activities because I was a girl, he just wanted me to have fun. For my sixteenth birthday he even bought me my very own motorbike. This gift was my brother and I refer to as "under the table" which basically means that my parents are not meant to know about it. We had always done "under the table" things because throughout my whole life my big brother was basically my best friend. He had a motorbike when he was my age and he used to take me places on it all the time.

Annie is already 22 years old but she has yet to learn how to drive. When she was schooling, she took the bus to school. At university, she stayed in hostel and hence she does not need to travel far to attend her lectures. However, now that she has graduated and got a job which she will be starting soon, she decided to take up driving lessons because her work place was rather far and if she takes the train, she needs at least 30 minutes of travelling time. While if she drives, she could save more time.

Learning to drive is a unique experience; it is fun for some people, but for me it was about of confusion and edginess! I first decided to learn driving in my late teens, primarily due to encouragement from my boyfriend. I had limited funds, and did not want to ask my parents to foot the bill. So we searched for driving schools that offered cheap lessons. However, many of them charged fees that were way beyond our means.
