<p>I told him that I am willing to pay for the insurance since I have some savings. I even ask him how much, but he won’t give me a straight answer, he keeps on saying that I should expect more than $500 a month. I am not buying a car just yet. I just need the license, so I can drive by my own, and more practice for me. I can always borrow my brother’s car since he doesn’t go out much. </p>
<p>I sometimes drive with my father, and I think he is always being obnoxious on purposejust to discourage me. I really need the license because I am already a junior, and so far I dont have any volunteer and work experience because he says I should concentrate in my classes. I felt helpless because now that I applied for Work-Study, I realize no one would hire me because they think I am lazy. I am not lazy, I am just naïve. So, now I am applying to fast foods, and taking computer classes to enhance my skill. I am also joining a lot of clubs, and looking for volunteer opportunities. I realize my mistake, and I want to change starting now. I think my independence starts with getting my license. </p>
<p>So, I am taking the test anyway, no matter how much he tries to scare me because I have to think about my future. I just hope he wont interfere tomorrow. Talking to my father will not help me, I think I just have to rebel. He doesnt seem to appreciate the fact that I never gave him problems all those years, and I have never disobeyed him. I dont want to live my life in fear anymore.</p>
