#4 How i learned to ride a bike

Learning something can something can be a scary experience. One of the hardest things Ive ever had to do was to learn how to ride a bicycle. I was always afraid of falling to the ground when riding a bicycle, but i decided that biking was an important skill that i should learn. I also thought that biking would be a good exercise and help me become physically fit. What i didn't realize was that learning how to ride a bike would also make me become a confident person.

New situations always make me nervous, and my first time riding a bike was not an exception. After  I tried to get on the bike, i was having difficulty with balancing my self, I became embarrassed because every time i get on the bike I always end up falling, So I decided that I needed wheel supporters to help me learn how to balance.

As I constantly practice day by day, I experienced many things, like scars, bruises, cramps but these things didnt stop me. I was so desperate to learn how to ride a bike, because of the thought that i was the only kid on the neighborhood that doesn't know how to ride a bike. I promised my self that someday i would not only learn how to ride a bike but to be good at riding a bike and when the day comes that i would have a son, i would teach them immidietly on how to ride a simple bicycle as soon as they are able to ride one, so that they will not experience the shame that i had experienced being the only kid in the neighbor hood that doesn't know how to ride a bicycle.

Little by little I learned how to ride a bike, I tried different types of terrain whether it be dry,slippery,rough/bumpy.I am not fast learner but it was no problem at all. After days of more practice i finally decided to take off the wheel supporters so that i can prove to my self that i had overcome my weakness of biking, I was so surprised that for the first time i did not have to fall off from my bike. I was very proud of my self, Since that day on I never fell of from a bicycle ever again.

Learning things are not quite easy for me, but in the end my persistence paid off. Not only i conquered my fear of riding a bicycle but i also learned that patience and constant practice is the key to everything. Now when I am faced with new situations I am not so nervous, not like before. I may feel uncomfortable to begin with, but I know that as i practice being in that situation and as my skills  get better, I will achieve a goal you have set for your self.

If you want something, you should dream for it, if you are going to dream for it, you should dream higher than it so that if you dont reach your expectations at least you wont be dissapointed by the result. Things are achieved by patience and practice and not by giving up.
