TU NGUYEN ESL 6 MY CRAZY EXPERIENCE I’ll never forget the first time I got a parking ticket. It was the morning of the second day of the new semester in August 2017. I drove to school and parked my car near school. I was excited about beginning a new semester. I was learning with my new teacher and meeting many new friends. After I took the test, I left my class. I saw a ticket on my car. I was surprised by this ticket because I always read the parking signs when parking. I went home and told my friend. She said I should complain to the DMV. I complained online and they said they would answer me after they double checked. I still have not received a response from the DMV even though it has been a month since I got my ticket. After that, I have not parked on the street close to my school anymore. I have parked my car at Public Parking since then. What an experience. I’ll never forget it! 29
