Oh God, this is one of the happiest days of my life. She passed!!!!
She was almost sick with nerves last night, and I knew she would dread it all day at school, so we skipped first period and went to the DMV instead. We had a brief crisis when I realized I had misplaced her Social Security card, but I finally thought to look in one last place and there it was!!
She passed vision easily, but got hung up on signs. The examiner, bless her loving heart, and I mean that sincerely, said, "What would you think that sign was if it had a big black cross on it?" DD remembered railroad crossing then, thankfully. On the last one, she completely blanked but managed to come up with "It's No Something, I think." This woman, who will wear a crown in heaven, said, "Yep, no passing, that's good enough!!" Again, God Bless Her and all her extended family.
DD squeaked by with the written test, but as I told her, "The guy who finishes last in his class at med school still gets called Doctor!!" She was wavering on the last question - she had missed as many as she could and HAD to get it right. Would I be this giddy if she had missed it?
So now I am driving with a new teen driver!! She drove me to school and she did a beautiful job. Now for a year of practice and then I have a licensed driver!!!
Can you tell I am THRILLED this is behind me??

My dd is almost 18 now and having her drive at night on the highways is what she is doing now. 
For the learner's permit, she had to show two different forms filled out by the parent and the instructor, a transcript from her school showing that she was enrolled and not on academic probation, a Social Security card, and her birth certificate. She had to pass vision, sign and written tests today.
. DD13 figured out that in a year and a half she and DS13 will get their permits
