the driving instructor
I was having my driving lessons in the morning, and today I was alone with the instructor, who by the way is a very nice fellow. He doesn’t believe in just getting the fellow pass the driving test, but puts his patience and energy in making him a responsible and ethical driver. He tells the drivers to drive slowly when there is water on the road to avoid splashing, to not horn at old people and instead wait and all sort of good road behaviour. And suddenly he started talking about how difficult its to run a driving school. It was like he didn’t have anybody else to let out his feelings about this. And luckily I managed to say some supporting words, instead of messing it up. I supported him, talking about issues that he is facing. Just few lines. But generally I felt proud about this fellow who is doing the things in a good way, taking on the extra responsibilities and issues that comes along, and all this with perfect modesty. A rare breed.
