Meet the new drivers in Abraham family! Over the years, my sister @sopranotiara and I have checked off some unusual milestones together. We started college at age 7, became community college classmates, graduated with bachelors from the same university, and went on to doctoral program in our teens! Today we celebrate another shared milestone: officially licensed drivers. 🥳🎉 Honestly getting a driver's license seemed more stressful than passing PhD qualifying exams and defending a dissertation😅 It turns out that understanding complex AI research papers is one thing; remembering to check mirrors, blind spots, speed limits, pedestrians, cyclists, traffic lights, road signs, and not accidentally hitting a curb is quite another thing! Though we both had 6 hours each of driving instruction with a professional instructor, most of the credit goes to our dad, who somehow condensed years of his driving wisdom into a two-week crash course. He patiently taught us, answered our silly questions, resisted the urge to grab the steering wheel, and remained surprisingly calm throughout the process. We got our driver's licenses and Dad deserves an award ⭐️ Our 26-year-old @Acura TL brought us home from the hospital 23 and 20 years ago when we were born, drove us to soccer practices, swimming lessons, piano and choir rehearsals, and even across college campuses. Nearly 300,000 miles later, it helped us earn our driver’s licenses. To everyone on the road: please keep a safe following distance and know that we're trying our best. 🤣
