It was Christmas day and here I was looking at my brand new two wheeler. Wow, I was so happy. I couldn’t wait to get on it. I was nervous though because I had never ridden a two wheeler bike before. How would I manage?

Dad took me and my bike down to the skate park. I put on my helmet, my legs were shaking like jelly. I climbed on my bike and pushed off. THUD ! Over I went, Darn this was going to be harder than I thought. I pushed my bike back up to the top. Here I go again...... THUD! I’ll never get used to this. Oh well, Dad said to keep trying that I would soon be riding like a pro. I tried and tried all Christmas Day. Each time I tried I managed to go a little bit further than the time before. I thought to myself ‘maybe I will get the hang of this’.

After four days of practice I could finally ride my bike. Not quite like a pro but I sure was getting there.

Five years later........... I am riding like a pro. That was my challenge and I learned that by practising lots you can always overcome a challenge.
