I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.
I remember that, when my mum         me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been        for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was        me at the same time.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was         to leave its warmth and        to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself       .
The first thing I thought of after getting up was to        . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly        , but was still too big for my appetite(食欲，胃口) that day. I kept telling myself that I         eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this wasn’t a(n)         day. Besides maybe it would         me a little. But I doubted it. I left the kitchen because even the       made me feel sick.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t        , so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had        time, so I thought we could practise parking. I       , with the wheel hitting the pavement(人行道). After that, the little bit of confidence I had was        . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving        site (地点).
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my       . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The        that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The         of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.
