Narrative:

As a student pilot on first cross country (long one) I came very close to thunderstorms. I was scared to solo after that. For this reason, on second attempt at long cross country, I took a passenger, who was a pilot, with me. I told a few instructors what I did and they discontinued my training at that flight school. At the same time I didn't log the hours because I understood it was a mistake.
