Teens Are in No Rush to Drive
What new reasons did you discover for why fewer kids seek their driver’s license?
I think the reason fewer kids seek their drivers license is because families now have two cars, so parents can drive kids and they rely on their parents to drive them whenever and wherever they want. When teens get their drivers license it take 60 hours of practice with an adult. Back in the day, it would take them 6 hours. It takes longer now because people want teens to have more experience behind the wheel. Because of that, teens need to practice more hours. If you want to go to private driving school it will cost $300-$600.
Some teens are not ready to take the responsibility and some teens are. Some teens get their license at age 16. Some teens want to get a car so they can go to work at an early age. Some teens don’t want to get a car or a job but that’s their choice. Some teens see really cool cars but they can’t afford them. Their parents can’t afford them either and they have to earn more money or pay the rent. A lot of people need to pay rent so they don’t have money to pay the price of a new car.
There are a lot of nice cars that are really fancy. A lot of people have different taste in cars. When teens get a fancy car they will have to spend more money than they usually spend on a regular car. They also have to pay for gas and insurance. Some teens grow up and when they turn 18 years old, their parents say, “Go get your own car. I’m tired of driving you.” Other teens don’t want their parents to say “get your own car.” Sometimes teens go to the DMV to take a written and a driving test to get their driving license. Sometimes they don’t pass the test the first time so their parents have to practice with them and they have to make another appointment to try again. Maybe they will pass that time. That is when they get their drivers license but, sometimes it takes a long time. It can take 1-4 or more times. Some parents can punish their teens by taking away their driving license or they make their teen drive them or their siblings.
Potential
I have the potential to ride my bike and get better at the things that look hard. I can do this in gymnastics. Yesterday I passed level 1 and now I’m going to level 2. I knew I would pass one day. On a video we just watched a man named Tim had down syndrome and he had the potential to work. He had his own restaurant and he seemed very happy when he goes to work and when people walk through the door into his restaurant

The Cat Who Saved his 4 year old Owner
On a security camera a little boy was riding his tricycle and he was just parking it by his mom’s van when his neighbor's pit bull heard the tricycle sound and ran to the little boy and bit the boy’s leg. The dog dragged the little boy off the tricycle and then the boy’s cat ran out of the house and attacked the dog. The dog ran away and the cat kept chasing the dog to make sure he was off their property. So, while the cat was chasing the dog, the mom went to check on her boy outside and ran back in when she saw he was ok. The little boy ran inside with his mom. The cat came back and went inside the house too. The boy was ok, but he had two big bite marks on his leg. He had to have ten stitches on his leg. Ever since the dog bit him he’s been a cat lover since then. They had to kill the dog. They have had the cat for 6 years now. How they got the cat is because the cat followed them home from the park. The cat was named Tara.
