Parallel parking
When did you learn to parallel park? My dad made me learn before I took my driver's test (even though I didn't have to during my test.) I had a 1976 GMC Sierra Classic long bed in high school that I had to learn to parallel park. Trust me, if I can parallel park that thing I can parallel park anything! I just saw this girl, looked to be in her mid 20s, trying to parallel park a minivan in a spot almost twice as big as her van. She tried for about 5 minutes. Then she drove to the end of the street, turned around, and drove straight in to park behind me. At first I thought the space may have been kinda short. But no.....it was huge! It wasn't a complicated park at all! Almost as easy as driving into a space and having to straighten up a little. Why don't people understand how to do these things? I always thought it a basic skill of driving. Guess it's not. I just hope she doesn't have to parallel park when I am one of the cars she is trying to squeeze between. Actually, I shouldn't mind....she will probably give up and find another place to park anyway.

Hm. let's see. I skipped driver's ed. because I didn't want to waste a class on it (and because my parent's insurance offered a discount for either good grades or passing driver's ed. so there was no $ incentive to take it!). My Dad tried to teach me, but I have to admit, when it really "clicked" for me was watching a video of one of those crazy European cars (I think it was VW) that had the "auto" function for parallel parking. After that it was pretty easy for me. :)
I had to be good at in college, though, because when I finally did get a car on campus, it was my parent's old 1985 caprice station wagon (two tone blue, oh yeah!). So, after parallel parking THAT thing, parking my Sentra is a breeze! :)
I didn't have driver's ed either. It wasn't even offered at my school. My dad was also really big on teaching me how to use my mirrors and backing up in general. Now, I didn't learn how to drive a stick till college and one of my roommates taught me that. :)
i HATE to parallel park! I will drive waaaaaaaaaaaay out of the way just to not have to do that. I did learn how to do that in drivers ed!

"Why is the family so important to Muslims?"
The family is the foundation of Islamic society. The peace and security offered by a stable family unit is greatly valued, and seen as essential for the spiritual growth of its members. A harmonious social order is created by the existence of extended families; children are treasured, and rarely leave home until the time they marry.
