THE DAY I LEARNED TO RIDE A BIKE

I’ll never forget the day I learned to ride a bike. I has fifteen years old and

I didn’t know how ride a bike. That ashamed me, everybody knew how to

ride a bike except me, so I had to go by bus to everywhere.

Someday, my two uncles and my dad decided to teach me to ride a bike.

Believe me, it wasn’t easy. I felt embarrassed and hopeless, I thought that

never will learn how ride a bike. But with very much practice I made it ¡I

learn!
 I was happy. I felt fulfilled. So, I went with my family and friends to a big

park in bikeway. I felt sure of what I knew, so I was comfortable. Half

way, I didn't see the woman crossing the street, until it was late. I braked in

a dirty water puddle and I fell off my bike. I hurt my face and arms and

legs.

Just that happened, I was afraid to riding bike. It was a long time before I

got back on a bike. When I finally did, I felt alive again. Feeling the wind

on my face and the adrenaline made me feel happy.

So, the moral of the story is: Sometimes we can work for something, we

can try a lot for do it. We can do anything, and sometimes we will fail, we

can fall out, but if we never give up, we can face anything, even our fears.
