Personal Statement: Why I Want To Drive

607 Words2 Pages

I have been wanting to drive because it will be one of the most useful life skills after I graduate from high school. To me, being able to drive means to have a convenient, interesting life, and being a helpful person. My life will be more convenient when I can drive by myself. I am jealous of the day students who can drive off campus to have food when they do not have classes. For those of us who can not drive, the only chance to get out of the school is to up for the school shuttles that can only go certain destinations. Also, when I am home in China, I always wish to drive by myself. This is because that I feel guilty when I have to wake up my brother to drive me to school in the morning. I could take a taxi or wait for the bus, but I can not afford being late to classes if they are not on time. If I drive by myself, I could go to the market and buy necessities whenever I need to instead of waiting for the school shuttle once a week. Also, I will feel a sense of independent and relief when my mother does not have to yell my brother to get out of bed …show more content…

When I can drive a car, I can go to places where I would like to without many restrictions. For instance, I can take a yoga class that is outside of my school; I can drive to a part-time job; I can also go on a road trip with my friends. Especially when I am in college, driving seems to be necessary since the place is ginormous and the public transportation is not as convenient as cities like Boston. Without knowing how to drive, I will reduce my enthusiasm to do many of these activities because they are troublesome to get to. Even though I need to go to different places in one day, I do not feel restrained because I can rely on my personal schedule instead of worrying about to cause trouble for others. Thus, by driving by myself, I could spend more time outside from dorms and classrooms and be more

  • Persuasive Essay On Driverless Cars

    977 Words  | 2 Pages

    While having the opportunity to catch up on your homework, some office work, or just relaxing in general is great, we'll also loose the experience gained in driving. Driving any vehicle requires your full attention on the road, car, and surroundings at all times in order to avoid an accident, and instills in the driver the responsibility to ignore any other, less important impulses. No longer needing to practice this discipline when the car drives itself, many people won't even need to care what's right outside their own car window since the autonomous car can deal with it. Passengers will become dependent on such technology leading their lives, and ensuring their own safety when they need to be responsible of it themselves. Google already hopes people will take to this autonomous dependency for their own economic gain, "While Google has never said how it plans to commercialize automated vehicles, it’s clear that keeping people’s eyes on the Web instead of on the road could itself mean a substantial boost to the company’s revenues." In creating an autonomous vehicle, Google expects it to allow people more time for using their search engine and clicking on their ads, which will earn them about an extra $2 billion each year. People need to take responsibility for their own actions when driving rather than entrust an autonomous car to do it
