An Unforgettable Childhood Experience

     In everyone’s childhood experience, there must be some unforgettable memories.  Some of them are sweet and happy, while some other are bitter, or even making us feel frustrating.  When speaking of the frustration I have been through in my childhood, I thought of the process of learning to ride bicycle.

     As a child living in city for a long time, I have been yearning for the sense of freedom when riding bicycle.  However, my road on learning it wasn't so smooth.  At first, I couldn't ride bike without auxiliary wheels nor can I steel it without others helping me.  So, whenever I ride bicycle by myself, I couldn't find the balance and would easily fell down.  What’s even worse is that I got serious injury during the practice.  I remembered clearly that I burst into tears at the moment I fell onto the ground, since I was hurt not only physically but also mentally because I couldn't figure out the reason why I kept failing.  Thus, I became scared of riding bicycle and felt really frustrated about learning it.  Nevertheless, with the encouragement of my parent and friends, I made up my mind to trying it again.  After the tutorial of my cousin, I finally achieve my goal of learning it and brought my faith back.

     Through this childhood experience, I learned how to overcome fear and frustration by adjusting my attitude and state of mind.  Be confident and brave to accept the challenges would be the key to cross the obstacles in our heart.
