My sister told me to try and ride with only one training wheel at first to learn to keep my balance. The first couple of times i fell off but i didn 't stop trying. my sister started holding onto the back and let go when she got the hang of it but i would tip right over again

A couple days later my sister went to help me again she grabbed on the back and held me up right. as she let go one of my older cousens came zooming past on his bike knocking me over. as i was falling i tried to grab onto the bike but it just made it land on me. i started crying not knowing how to feel, depressed,disappointed in myself for losing my balance. from that day i stopped riding i didn 't want to get hurt again all my cousins would come over and try to say …show more content…
