    Ok, so Tomorrows the big day! DMV test! I spent the last 3 hrs of today being tested as if I was at the DMV by my instructor, this was the 'get ready test' passed! He didn't cut me any slack acted like an examiner would(he been there enough to know the drill). I will do this!

    Study, Listen, Practice, repeat! If you aren't sure ask questions, YOU CAN DO THIS, don't quit! At first it seems overwhelming, just relax, study, practice and repeat! It's not has hard as we THINK! It gets better EVERYDAY! Follow your dreams and they will become reality!

    Congrats to you! It is always intimidating when you first start the process but after you complete the thing you realize that it was not as difficult as you thought.

    Right now I am instructing new recruits to drive school buses safely and many of the students are scared and worried that they will not be able to complete the training. So far, all of them have progressed very well.

    I took the course for a Class A at a local Community College 4 years ago. Went to work for a large company where I was just a number then after a month I had to leave when my wife became very ill and needed me around. She suggested I drive a school bus for a while. That was 4 years ago and I am still doing it!
     
    harlycharly55 Thanks this.
