Before meristem I had a driving permit, but I didn't feel comfortable to drive on a major road yet, let alone a major highway. When I heard about the driving program, I was looking forward to being a part of that. Within the first week, I started driving on major roads, and the second week I drove on a highway. The driving program helped me get the confidence to drive without being nervous. As I already had a permit before meristem, Bond did most of the work to help me on the path of getting a license, which I currently have. I would like to really thank Bond and John for helping me through this process. I highly encourage that anyone at meristem go through the on campus and Bond program. I definitely benefited from this program being set up, and I believe that many other students will benefit from this as well.

The driving program has helped support me in driving not just effectively, but carefully. They were so calm and patient. Thank you so much John and the rest of Bond Driving as well.

Peter's development challenges while growing up caused him to first avoid and then insist that he never wanted to drive. Instead he developed skills biking so that he could gain the independence he craved. However, as he matured he started to see the benefits of driving but still had fears that he might not be able to succeed. Slowly, he let down his resistance. Last summer after staring at an online course for months, he found motivation to plow through the course and get his permit. When Meristem teamed up with Bond Driving this year, he was motivated and ready to go. The experience has helped him get a sense of independence and greatly helped him in his journey. He can still use plenty of practice while at Meristem and would benefit greatly from the ability to use a car.
