Learning how to ride my bike (FC)

         When I learned how to ride a bike I was between the ages of seven or eight. While I was learning how to ride a bike, I found it very difficult for myself especially because I never rode a bike with out the training wheels on them. So maintaining my balance was the most difficult part. Some people that I know or a few of my friends took them all about two weeks to learn with hard practice, I learned within two days of hard work. I would usually practice with my mom or dad. We would go to the park or to a free open space with lots of grass just in case if I fell I wouldn't get hurt as badly. The first day of training was horrible I kept on falling, as a young girl I was very negative towards the obstacles that I could achieve. Meaning that while I was training, I felt like giving up and never  trying to learn how to ride a bike again, but my parents are very supportive towards everything and anything I do. So with there help, I gained my confidence back and worked even harder. Within hours of practice I already had the hang of riding bike, but had a few things to fix. The next day, I went to the park again and when I first got on the bike that day I fell automatically. Once again I lost my faith and confidence so I wanted to give up, my mom said "Try one more time" . So when finally I gave it a second try and I was riding the bike with great balance and I didn't fall. I was so reliefed and excited , I was in denial I couldn't believe that I knew how to ride a bike without my training wheels. At the time, at such a young age this meant a lot to me. If it wasn't for my mothers support I would've never gained back my confidence to learn how to ride a bike. In the future, I will do the same with my children, I will help them learn and support them through everything and anything. Just like how my parents did with me.

  1. I love the fact that you didn't give up when things got tough. Parents who really love you are always there and those lesson and support that they have for us should always be carried on to our children. Riding a bike was very difficult for me too, but it was a challenge that I mastered. I have to say that learning how to ride a bike was one of the best part of my childhood.
