Street Legal.

As I woke up lying in my bed yesterday, I was thinking of how I was going to spend my fourth day of summer. I then remembered that my mom was going to take me to the Driver License Division in West Valley to take my learners permit test. I jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs to get my mom to take me. She called the DLD to see what we had to bring, but they never took her off hold so she pushed the information on learners permits button and it told her to take a birth certificate, parent signature, Social Security card or tax information with my name on it. Since we couldn't find my SS card we took the tax information instead. Once we got to the DLD in way out west Taylorsville the lady told us that we HAD to have my SS card and we couldn't use the tax information. My mom and I decided to go to the SS offices in downtown Salt Lake City, once we got there we talked to the worker and he gave me my new card, and we were off. Another DLD location is at the fairgrounds right next to where we were in Salt Lake City. We got there and the receptionist gave us a number, so we waited. We waited for about an hour till our number was called, and we made our way up to the station they called us to. We talked to the worker and he filled out information and told me which computer to go to and my password. As I approached my computer I hoped that I would pass the test, then I sat down and started the test. As I answered my last question I though "Wow I didn't get better than 80% I'm going to have to take this again... UGH" I hesistated then hit the submit button and crossed my fingers. As the new screen popped up the first thing I saw was a green bar that said "Congratulations you've passed! 86% 43 out of 50" then I took a sigh of relief stood up and walked over to the counter where the guy took my card and took my picture. I stood up waited for my permit to finish printing and then left with my mom.... I'm now street legal. Look out Sandy, UT.
