Amber1,

Try a few (just a few ... not £1000s worth !) more lessons and remember.....

Nothing is scary until that moment where you land, your instructor taps you on the shoulder, gives you a wave and promptly hops out whilst the engine is still running .....

a.k.a. first solo

That silence will never feel so loud... and your brain will be trying to convince you not to do it !

But up until the first solo... its all just boring repetitive practice until it gets into the students thick skull...

Are you possibly doubting the instructor or school ? Maybe try another one ? Or a different type of aircraft ? What did you fly ? If you flew something twitchy like a Traumahawk (Piper Tomahawk, PA-38), then perhaps try a more stable flying platform like a Warrior (PA-28).
