Profile For Michael R.

I am in what is I hope my last week of trucking school with Smith and Solomon in South NJ just outside Philadelphia PA. i have already failed my first road test at the DMV and am taking the second on July 19 2014. I failed the first due to not stopping by the measured right turn con. I just kept going around the cone I dont remember the instruction to stop and blow horn but anyway that's in the past. So now I have to do the Straight line and 90 degree alley and cone again this weekend. Me and my best friend are going to be team driving once we pass. So after being told we failed our school said no sense coming back next week we have other guys that have to test and prep this weekend in NJ you have to wait 10 days in between testing which sucks. So we show up after not driving for a week and I am shifting like it was my first day and Im totally psyched out not to mention my school instructor intimidates the crap out of me to the point of my legs shaking and brain farts. I did so bad today my buddy was like hey man im worried your gonna pass Saturday. So needless to say im really nervous and scared im going to fail again. We have an orientation lined up at the end of the month if we both pass and im nearly broke so passing is so so important. I am constantly nervous and thoughts of the test going through my mind are haunting me. I know I sound like a softie here but im just being honest. i have a 16 yr old to provide for my unemployment is running out and I need money like now I just hope I made the right decision I know this is what I want to do in many ways monetarily and personally. has anyone gone through these feelings or problems. Just looking for some advice and peace of mind. Thanks
