Glenn and Margo, the directors of the GSP program (we lovingly call them our GSP parents) were both very brave and generous today and let me borrow their car. Now, for those who don't know, I passed my driving test this January and haven't had the opportunity to drive since - let alone in a different country where they drive on the opposite side of the road!
Well, I can happily report that I have been driving their car for almost 11 hours today and I have had an absolute blast! I was so worried I was going to find driving a huge American car in America massively intimidating - but it was just totally amazing! To be fair, I did spend the first few hours praying just to be sure, but it was just one of the most exciting and enjoyable experiences of my life.
I love driving. I got to take some of the GSP students out to lunch, to the local shopping mall - I was kinda like the official GSP taxi service for the day. I even got to drive on the Interstate (which is like a 4-lane motorway for UK folk).
I cannot even begin to describe how ridicously excited I am to have had this opportunity! I feel like the happiest person alive. This is suck a dream come true, to be here in America on an amazing Navigator programme AND driving a car! And that's not even the best news! Glenn told me this evening that his daughter is lending me her car for the GSP!!! I am super psyched!
Thank you God, for making this happen! For answering such a huge prayers I never thought possible! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
And to everyone who helped get me here - THANK YOU! This day couldn't have happened without your support!
Peace out!
