Hello, I’m Damini, your driver today. I reside with my parents and two siblings who are pursuing their education. When I first joined the driving training in 2019, little did I know how much it would shape my destiny. Fast forward to 2023, and I am proud to be a professional driver at Sakha, armed with two years of experience and a heavy vehicle driving license. My aspirations have grown, and I now dream of traveling to Europe to become a trailer driver. Beyond the thrill of the open road, my profession is a means of financial support for my family, and their pride in my achievements is my greatest reward. As I navigate the bustling city streets, I encounter new faces daily, including foreign diplomats during my work with the Canadian Embassy. This experience has not only honed my driving skills but also boosted my confidence to communicate in English. I firmly believe in the power of hard work and dedication, and my journey is a living testament to that belief. I take pride not just in confidently navigating roads but also in guiding other drivers through challenging situations. Despite facing skepticism and sarcasm from those surprised to see a woman behind the wheel, I stand tall, confronting them with confidence. Driving has empowered me to shatter societal norms and stereotypes. Those who once questioned my decision to pursue driving now seek my guidance for routes and various applications. Beyond the roads, driving has fueled my dreams of building my own house. It has given me the strength to declare to my family that I will only marry once I achieve this significant milestone. My journey is not just about driving; it’s a narrative of breaking barriers, embracing independence, and standing tall in the face of societal expectations.
