Morning My Dynamic Duo’s of Total Driving,

I don’t know how to show my gratitude to you Beth, for returning my email from Total Driving School and Mrs. Francis for helping my son Nickolas learn how to drive AND getting his driver’s license in three sessions (YOU ROCK☺). When Mrs. Francis, pulled up to my Apartment and introduce herself, her demeanor, her passion, and her motivation to teach Nick how to drive, I knew Nick was in good hands.

Since I have a tracker on Nick’s phone for other reasons, I was able to track him the entire time while he was driving. I couldn’t believe Mrs. Francis was taking a chance on driving my son Nick with no experience in driving on a busy stretch of 71 highway. (Mrs. Francis is definitely a Super Woman). I waited in anticipation to see how his first session went.

After two hours of pacing the floor and tracking his driving. I received a ping from the tracker that he was in the area. I ran downstairs to greet Nick to see how his first experience of driving on a busy highway went, Nick said it was scary, but Mrs. Francis helped him stay calm, focus and confident that he could do it. I ask if Mrs. Francis had a break on her side because when I took Driver’s Ed. My instructor did. He said no. Again, Mrs. Francis has the patience of JOB in the bible.

On the third driving session, he stated that Mrs. Francis, said he was going to get his licensed today and he did!!!

Thank you Beth and Mrs. Francis for helping Nickolas get his license.

You ladies are my ANGELS!!! Charlie’s Angels does have anything on Total Driving Dynamic Duo’s ☺

Thank you again, for a VERY proud parent.

So I called Francis (our amazing instructor), the same way all of our clients have and asked her to schedule my newly permitted 15 year old daughter. I had been excited about the idea of her learning to drive. I have said I am ready for her to get her license and take some of the driving responsibilities in the home off me. I’ve joked with her that she’s getting keys to a good-enough used car and she’s taking her sister with her!

So the day of her first driving lesson came, and turns out I wasn’t ready. Francis pulled in the driveway and got out of the car. My daughter walked to the passenger side of the car, as she’s accustomed to, and Francis says, “nope, you’re in the driver’s seat.” As they spent some time in the driveway going over some things in the car, I took some pictures then realized it was time for me to go inside and they were on their way.

Now, Francis does this every single day. Nearly every driver she instructs has had little experience behind the wheel, if any at all. Every student she has is someone’s child taking a major step in life. Prior to this day, I had not thought about it quite like this. I had not realized the emotions I would have about this step in my child’s life. But does every mom go inside and cry?? I literally did that! What is wrong with me?? Why is something like this making me so emotional?? I realized that day that my child was growing up. I realized that maybe she is ready for this type of responsibility-driving. I also realized the anxiety of every parent who have been our clients.

So parents, I want you know I am now where you are. I am now the client, with a child who is the student. I am now watching her drive away with her driving instructor and anxiously waiting for her to come driving back down the road and hear how she did.

Parents, I cannot thank you enough for your trust in me and my instructor with your child. It took me watching my own child drive away to really put myself where you are. I promise to keep your child safe and provide them with the necessary tools to be safe, confident drivers.
