Her dad was with her and made her tell the principal what had transpired. At this point she realized that she had matured and could not run away from her problems anymore. When I asked how she felt about the incident, she recalled, “ I was terrified, and felt horrible knowing I had hit the principal’s car, and I thought my was thinking that I was a bad driver and could not be trusted.” But afterwards she felt calm and serene, as if taking the responsibility for the accident had somehow transformed her into a more mature person, not quite an adult yet, but closer than before.
