Yes. Florida requires 40 hours of driving time, which gets you pretty qualified. The real challenge is getting a driving instructor on board with your excellerated timeline. There's also the written test. Read the manual two or three times (slow read, reading all the illustration captions and all. Not speed read.)

Stay up late, past what is comfortable, Sleep in and nap during the days leading up to when you start your night shift. I tended to keep my sleep schedule on my days off. Black out curtains absolutely necessary. A fan or white noise helps with day time activity.

Food schedules just work themselves out. You may find yourself socializing with other night shift workers, though the bars and clubs are not going to be for thing.

I feel for you about getting bullied and teased about your height. Unfortunately, it's not really about your height: a bully will just torture you over anything, so getting taller won't help. It's the same for good nature teasing, too. They will. Just shift to teasing you About your feet or ears or haircut.

I know its not what you want to hear, but wait and let nature do is thing. If there was anything that actually worked, it wouldn't be a secret: it would be as well known as viagra and someone would be making money hand over fist selling it.

Just make sure you don't stunt your growth: which it sounds like you are already doing, eating healthy and exercising. Stay away from chemicals that might confuse or shut down your growth plates. Look at your father and uncle on both sides of the family. You might get a few inches in them with healthy living, but ultimately that's your expected range.

Very early in your tenure, find out what their pain points and annoyances are and either make them go away or help them understand why you can't. Sometimes it's really simple things, like not having access to the best/closest printers, or BS excess process. Once they see you as someone they can go to with their problems, you are the boss.

Put it on flashcards. Or rather, write in longhand with a pen or pencil your important notes. The act of writing it out embeds it deeper in your memory than reading or typing it. You don't have to use the flash cards, though they can help you identify the areas you need to focus on, i.e. read it and write it again. Or sing it, or recite it while dancing.

Math, you just have to keep practicing. Find more problems online to practice, do it on paper with a pencil.
