Dear State Legislator

Dear State Legislator,
The bill you are considering to pass needs to be reconsidered and taken back in for discussion. Go back and think of the reasons again on why you want to pass a bill to not let people have their driver’s license until they have a high school diploma, and not only think about the teenagers driving the cars, but other situations you are affecting by considering to pass this bill.
When kids, like me, graduate high school they are about 17 to 18 years old, after high school we go to college where it takes up more of our time for classes. When did you think we would have the time to go out and take a drivers class and test just to have our permit and then go back again to take another test to actually get our license? A lot of kids are not waiting for the fall to take classes they are taking classes in the summer to get everything done.
If the bill is passed for kids, like me, to not have a license till they carry that diploma across the stage, how will they have or get to their jobs to help save up for colleges? I mean aren’t we all wanting people to go to colleges so we can get a better education so we can have better jobs and create better things for our economy? Not all parents in this generation can or is willing to shofar their child to work every day or every other day when they have other stuff that needs to be done. That’s why the requirement to have a job is 16, because your able to drive to work by yourself and learn what it’s like to be responsible to be somewhere and learn what it’s like to have to be responsible of something in your life instead of always having to blame your parents on why you happen to be late, or why you can’t show up. You learn to take responsibilities for your own actions and decisions and learn what the real world is really like, and get a little taste of it now when your younger so you know how to start out in the real world and be able to take care of yourself and not have to depend on your parents all...
