I live in California by the way..
Me getting a job and transport and my own apartment is high priority, sadly over high school, (unless I can take it online) right now, my mom can barely manage to maintain me AND her bf (yea, asshole chooses him over me.. hes a lazy fuck)
So yea.. even a month would make a huge difference >_>
But... for a permit you have to have someone with you to drive. So how would this help your situation anyway?
this. and you HAVE to be fifteen and a half. they're rather anal about that.
