Patience and a good attitude will take you far.
Deshea H. is awesome. He had such a positive attitude and SO much patience. After one lesson with Deshea, my daughter was driving with her dad and said, "Deshea was so nice to me...why can't Dad be more like that?" LOL
Aside from Deshea, a contact from Coastline helped me immensely because we had some issues with my daughter's permit and they handled the situation with me with such care. Thank you!
