The first time I drove a car

The first time I drove a car was when I was 14 years old. I had no idea what I was doing, one day my youth pastor told me he was going to teach to drive a stick shift. The first 30 minutes were very jerky; literally. I was really bad at the clutch. I didn't know that I was supposed to use it every time I used the break. Also I didn't know you were supposed to shift up one gear at a time. I just wanted to put it in the gear I wanted it in. Needless to say, I stalled the truck several times before we actually moved. Another thing that I had trouble with was trying to shift gears in the middle of a turn. I stalled the car in the middle of several turns. I still haven't mastered that. The next time I went driving I did get across the parking lot before I stalled the car (I was trying to turn and shift gears at the same time; it didn't work). After all the driving lessons I still can't drive a stick shift, but I at least know how and I can if I really have to. I just hope the person whose car I'm driving won't hate me for messing up the gears.
