Orientation Sucess/ waiting on a trainer

Thanks for the advice. Im nervous sitting at HOME 😂 but im going to go forward.

BREATHE! Take your time in everything and don't let ANYONE pressure you into doing something you aren't comfortable with. Also, get your trainer to let you do ALL the backing. Always GOAL and go slowly when backing!

Most importantly, have fun and enjoy yourself!

Great!! I know what you went through. I'm there now! I test Wednesday, I'm struggling with shifting, and the skills. The off set, and straight or the only two we know will be required. The other will be the 90 or parallel . Only two days to work on skills. A couple road trips are scheduled. I know one includes u-turns, going north on four lane then u-turn south. Already did three road trips and feel my shifting is awful. Yesterday instructor had us skip from ninth to seventh, then on down to fifth, and back up to ninth, repete to fifth. Wish me luck Wednesday, if I don't pass this, next test is a week later. Only test on Wednesday. Keep us posted!!

Good luck on your test! You're actually learning more than I did in regards to shifting...we weren't taught how to skip gears. At least you'll have time to sharpen your skills if you don't pass the first time. I had 3 chances to pass the test, and I tested 3 times in 3 days.

hey Lemmy! Just rear this entire thread ! Congrats again. Please im excited and ready for my new journey. if you can do I can!

Thanls and keep us updated. i should be starting school next week☺
