My camp for driver license

I’m going to talk about one of my memories; it was a little bit hard, funny, and important experience for me.

About 3 years ago, I joined a camp to get driver license after graduate my high school.

Usually we can get driver license two different ways.

You can attend a training school whenever you can, so you can get it with your normal life style.

However, you need to reserve a class and practice with trainer, and sometimes you can’t reserve easily because many people want to do especially during graduation season or summer vacation.

In contrast, you can join a camp about 2 weeks.
You will be decided your day schedule, so you have to focus only getting it.

However, to join a camp is cheaper than to attend a school, usually a camp is less than 3000 dollars, and a school is more than 3000 dollars.
I was a high school student and I didn’t have much money, so I have chosen a camp. lol

I went to Tochigi, which is pretty countryside, with my best friend.
We had been so excited about to join the camp because it was our first travel as only usJ

However, we were very surprised when we joined because we had to drive at first day, and at night. I was so scary and tired.
I finally got my room which is like a monthly apartment at 10 pm at first day.

I had 3 roommates, one was my best friend who came there with me, and others were 2 girls who came from Tokyo.
Our ages are close and we could get friendly easily.

The apartment we stayed had two floors, boys stayed first floor, girls stayed second floor.
There were many people whose ages are close to us, so we could get friendly with them as well.

We had a party every night, and couldn’t have enough time to sleep, so I was always sleepy when I had a class or driving practice.
 It was too dangerous and hard time, I was always scared.

We spend time together every day, so when we left from the camp, we cried because we were like brothers and sisters.

Now, however, we are keeping touch, and sometimes meet each other.
I don’t need to care them and I always have fun with them.

This experience have become one of my best memories and made my important friends.

I miss them and I’m looking forward to meet them after I go back to Japan!!
