“I am so dumb! I’m never doing this again!” This is what I said after doing something dumb while learning to ride a bike. It hurt a lot and I wasn’t very motivated after my parents laughed at me. What did I do you might ask? Let me tell you my “scary” instance.

So I was learning to ride my bike around my neighborhood. My parents were helping me learn and they told me to just go try it after they told me the steps. I tried and… BAM! I ran right into a truck parked there. I was FURIOUS. But I tried to go just ONE MORE TIME and something even worse happened. I tried. I was feeling good. Then I lost control, panicked, and GONG. That’s all you heard. I hit my bike… INTO A POLE.

Bonus story: Once I was staying the night at my grandparents’ house and I went outside with my uncle who had a pit-bull. His name was Tank. I was 5 or 6 at the time. I went to help him feed him. As soon as I went to go into the corner where my uncle had some junk and the food. On my way there I got pounced on. All of a sudden, I had a 150 pound dog that was two times my size, pinning me to a wall. I thought that was it. It was going to bite me and I would soon be ASCENDING to the heavens. All though, nothing happened and my uncle helped me get him off. It was still very scary.

The thing that I learned from these experiences is don’t run into a pole and don’t corner yourself with a pit-bull. Especially outside.
