The Hardest Thing to Learn When I was 8 years old I wanted to ride a bike but I didn’t know how and my Dad agreed to teach me when I asked him and I was so excited that my brother wanted to learn as well. When we were ready our Dad thought us by using training wheels first and then he showed us how to pedal and where the brakes were, but when we rode in training wheels for an hour he took them off and we were afraid of falling and we were also very eager but nervous of falling. When we were ready our Dad just told us to look forward and pedal so we pedaled as fast as we could but we always fell and bleed from our arms and legs. Every time we fell we could taste the blood in our mouth for hitting it too much. Everything felt dusty because of all the dirt. We saw blood on our legs and arms and it was slowly dripping down. We heard our screams of pain and, we smelled all the flowers in the grass when we fell in the grass. It was really painful but it was going to be so easy when we could do it better but it had to be longer till we completely learned how to ride a bike. We kept trying everyday but it took us 6 days to learn because the park we practiced in had so many holes so when we rode our bike it was really hard to ride because of all the holes. When we were ready to ride by ourselves our cousins came and they …show more content…
Although accidents happened because of those dogs and a kids and parents got bitten in the arm and leg the owner just payed the cops to leave her alone. When I always past that house I had to be ready to pedal as fast as I can and the woman payed the cops every time her dogs did something bad. For me and my brother it was almost impossible to learn how to ride a bike but frequently the impossible could become possible if you don’t give

The skin on my left hip was almost completely scraped off, but I was going to do it again. I wasn’t going to give up. Gaining speed down the hill with a huge smile on my face, I knew that I would get it this time. As I quickly turned the bike’s handlebars, my shoe laces got caught in the pedal. At the age of five, I was unaware of Newton’s first law of motion: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. I flew off my bike and hit the ground full force, slid across the pavement, and came to a stop. I told myself that I needed to learn how to ride this bike, and my final attempt, after many hours outside, turned out successful. My mother says she remembers the moment when I walked through the door of my house and stood in the kitchen, insisting that I taught myself how to ride a two-wheeler. I was bloodied
In reading the Top 10 Thing Middle- School Students Wish You Knew, Rachel Vail states that middle schoolers “sometimes I just can’t focus.” I agree with that statement. I want to learn, I just have the urge to daydream. Daydreaming is an escape mechanism which I have always done. I've realized that one must be focused in order to maintain good grades, which I find very challenging. When I find myself daydreaming, I sometimes have to pinch myself to get back on task. Even while reading I find my mind wandering the pages. None of these habits are good to have in order to keep your grades high.
It all started for me when I was five, my dad told me when I could ride my bike without
When I was 5, I wanted to ride a bike when I tried, I was terrible. I would move one inch and fall right to the ground. I would peddle faster than I really should. I thought I was doing good but I fell. I would be doing good going forward but when I turn I would hug the ground.
This is the second time I've been to college. The first time I dropped out when I was 19. Now I'm 24 waking up on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the same idea in mind. I've never been a morning person because of my narcolepsy. And I've never been a star student. So, whenever I get in predicaments like these I wanna runaway. I want to finish
grown up. I knew that riding a bike without training wheels was going to be hard and was going to
Things I wish I’d Always Know. The author is Eric Weinstein. What Eric Weinstein talks about here is what he has learned over the years as a writer. He has learned that you have to read, read, and read. He also has learned that you have to write, write, and write. You must follow the rule or freak it, but do what you do for a reason. To hell with originality. Transcend self-expressions. He talks about all five of these and has learned over his years of writing. What I learned from reading this is you have to read, write and be yourself. I think that he had a good story to tell. I also believe his hard work has paid off. I think that he taught his students a lot for them to want to move on with creative writing.
So my first lesson was how to balance on the skateboard. Albert told me where to put my feet and I stood on the skateboard. I was so scared I was going to fall and I did. He help me up and told me not to be so scared and shaky. So I tried again And I did it really well. I even leaned forward and back so once I started riding I would already know how to turn. So now I needed to learn how to balance on the skateboard with one leg and it only took a couple tries to get it down. So once I learned how to balance on the skateboard Albert told me to step on it and he pushed me.I was going so fast on the skateboard but then I remembered about my training. I started to balance and I started to turn and then I was riding a skateboard. All I had to do know was balance on one foot and kick back by other leg so I can push myself. I started to do that and I fell.
On my fourth birthday, I got a black and red bike from my grandpa that I had wanted ever since I was three years old. I wanted to ride it instantly, but my mom wouldn’t let me ride it until I had a helmet and training wheels, because it was my first time riding a bike. My mom and I went to Walmart to get a helmet, while my dad was putting on training wheels.
You Must Do The Thing You Think You Cannot Do.” It's sad to see that people can't do what they want because they're afraid of how others might judge them. Courageous people need to be brave, be themselves, and be proud of who they are. Courage creates a more positive society. Melinda and Heather are two fictional characters that have shown courage in one form or another. On the other hand, my brother, Shpat, is a real life example of how courage can impact the society. Each act of courage, either factual or fictional has created some type of impact on society. In the story, Speak, Heather, was courageous in many ways. Her courage, in this case, had a negative impact on others. One example which shows how Heather was courageous in a negative way was when she told
According to French philosopher Descartes, “The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of the past centuries.” Reading awakens the mind. It ignites the brain. It tugs at the heart. It remedies the soul. Through experiences in reading, people gain insights and wisdom by meeting the great men Descartes refers to. The experiences and themes an author incorporates into his or her writing leaves a reader with a greater depth of knowledge than previously possessed. My intrigue with reading is derived from its unparalleled ability to educate, inform, and inspire me within a matter of minutes. Reading continues to have an impact on my life by teaching me new lessons all the time. My experiences with reading have taught me two main lessons: never be afraid to stand up for personal beliefs and live life to the fullest.
It was in August. I was 8 and my dad told me that we were going to ride our bikes near the Appalachian Trail. I didn’t want to, but he had a rule that if you wanted to do screen time, you had to do something outdoors. So, we got in my dad’s red truck and headed to Vernon, New Jersey, where my dad wanted us to ride our bikes. When we got there, we pulled out our bikes from the truck. That’s when my bike tipped over and fell on my leg. When it fell, I felt a sharp pain where it landed. I pushed my bike off and realized that my leg was bleeding because of a cut. The cut was deep. As soon as my dad saw this, he ran over, took off his sock, and tied it on my leg. Then he helped me into our truck and drove home. On the drive home, he told me that
The first time i rode a bike was in 2012. I was in 2nd grade at that time and my other friends did not need training wheels. My dad taught me. It was spring and there were barely any clouds in the sky. My dad took the training wheels off and I sat down. At first I went slowly. My dad held onto the back while I practiced pedaling. We practiced this for several hours and when it was getting dark we went inside. The next day I practiced pedaling again. But, my dad had let go and I did not even notice! By the time that I realized, he had caught up to me and I did not fall. The next time that he did that, I lost balance and I fell. I started crying and my dad told me not to give up.
Later that day, my sister and I went to the track at Memorial Park. My sister was teaching me how to bike. In the beginning, I was not happy and really wanted my dad to teach me instead of my sister. I was whining a lot whenever I passed my dad, but he always ignored me. Eventually, I gave up and allowed my sister to teach me how to bike. When I was finally able to ride the bike, my sister and I rode on the track together. We were talking to each other while paying attention to the road because
