Happy ! On this, , check out the photo below of Little Sister Jaylen after passing her driving test. Jaylen worked with Big Sister Hannah for months to prepare. They practiced parking, freeway driving, and more. With help from Hannah, Jaylen even submitted a short essay and was selected to attend driving school. Since then, Jaylen has completed the course, received her license, and is now driving herself to and from school. Jaylen's mom expressed that they couldn’t have hit this amazing milestone without BBBSAZ and Jaylen's Big, Hannah! Thanks, Hannah!!
