victoria will be having some lesson during her free periods at collage, so that will help, hopefully. this instructor is willing to pick her up and drop her, where she wants, (with in reason).   first school i rung would not come to our house, he said it was to far from the town.    we want her to learn how to drive, not just, how to pass her test.   wish you where nearer Rita

Yes I wish I did too but she'll be fine, level headed and you guys to guide her.

I had a sad lesson today. 5 years ago I taught Ameera, a 23 year old pakistani girl,very sweet and nervous. It did not help one day close to the aftermath of the July London bombings on a lesson when someone pulled up alongside us and asked me if I was teaching her to be a suicide bomber? Ameera heard and it bothered us both. It scared me a little.

I then taught Ameera's husband and today I started to teach her sister. Having asked how Ameera was I at least was prepared, or was I?

Ameera had a brain tumour diagnosed 2 years ago, she had it removed but it has come back aggressively. Her family were told yesterday she only has weeks... Mercifully she is a little confused and is not aware as to how poorly she really is. When I knocked today, she heard my voice and struggled to get to the hallway. She remembered me and we hugged, she clung to me. They all live together so can help each other but are truely living with the problem. She looked awful, she fits and has had a type of stroke. I did not really know what to say or do but she laughed when I suggested I was open to blackmail to retard her sister of being quicker to learn than her.

Another valuation of life taken on board today.

Oh how sad that story is Rita
