    you have no idea how badly I needed to see this video!!! i’m 25 and severely anxious myself, convincing myself to go into a car and drive is so so hard but the feeling of accomplishment after doing so is amazing!!! seeing your reaction to driving alone somewhere you wanted to go and actually doing it made me about cry, i’m so proud of you and i’m proud of all the other anxious girlies out there in the world trying to learn how to progress in life

      Trust me I feel the same, I have such anxiety with driving. I got my permit when I was 29 and my license at 34 and just started officially driving Nov. at 36.

    you seem so sweet. I just got my license the other day at 21 years old. The anxiety of feeling like you're not the right age to do things or putting off things that make you scared is so real. congrats on a successful first drive alone!!

    Seeing how you react to driving by yourself. And the anxiety you had towards it makes me feel so much better about how I feel towards it. 16 about to be 17 and I can take the practical test anyday but driving feels so scary. It seemed as if my friends have already gotten so good and used to it. It terrifying me. I will be working to getting my license and driving small distances this summer.

    • @avagriergossett
      @avagriergossett  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      im so happy that I could make you feel better, you don’t deserve to feel bad about anything, there is absolutely nothing wrong with not getting ur license once ur of age!! I was an absolute NERVOUS WRECK when it came to driving but since finally just taking the drivers test and getting out on the road by myself, it becomes second nature. I promise promise promise that it will become easier and you’ll become so much more comfortable behind the wheel. Don’t let your friend’s progress discourage you, everyone feels comfortable at their own pace, there is no race :)) 💗💗💗

    I think you should try just know that it will be a very big adjustment since you’re used to homeschool but it’s not impossible. I relate to that I was home school most of my junior year until I graduated early and decided to go to college in person. I go there everyday and feel like I don’t belong and feel alone even though I’m around a lot of people.

    • @avagriergossett
      @avagriergossett  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Obviously it is totally up to you but from what you’ve said I think you’d have a much better time going back to in person school!! Online school isn’t for everybody and that’s ok! I transferred because in person school made me very depressed, but from what you’ve said, it sounds like you’re the opposite. I’ve never thought about going back to to in person, I honestly hated it, but I think since you’re questioning it, you should go back. Online school has made me much happier even though I do struggle sometimes. For you, it doesn’t sound like online school has made your life easier or happier, and I believe that people need to do what makes them the happiness even if there are some downsides. You may get sick a few times while you’re transferring back into the in-person atmosphere, but I think you having friends and leaving your house is very important, and worth it. Again, it’s totally up to you, but from what you’ve said, I think, transferring back is the right choice for you

      yeah so basically you just find your states online school (there’s normally a few) just by looking online! I recommend finding one with the best rating, A being the best. Then you just enroll into that online school when enrollment starts and talk with your current school about transferring credits :) it’s pretty simple, and thank you

      I’m gonna be honest, starting to drive is quite nerve wracking but it definitely gets easier. I never believed anyone when they told me that, I thought I’d always be an anxious driver but once I started to drive by myself, I finally became comfortable!! I wouldn’t say it’s hard though, the hardest part is overcoming the fear of driving itself. I know it’s cliche, but you really just have to put the car in drive and just go and you’ll become more comfortable with more practice
