Peddling On My Own Learning how to ride a bike for the first time was a nerve racking independent moment. I was about five years old when my sister informed me that I was too old to still be riding a bike with training wheels. That was the time I decided not to depend on them anymore. Even though I had some doubt, my sister and I went outside and started to take the little wheels off my bike. After my bike went through the transformation, I was now ready for the big moment. With butterflies in my stomach, I slowly got on the bike, and with my shaky hands, I gripped the handles tightly. Meanwhile my sister was holding on to me to help keep my balance. I was so afraid the she would let go, yet I was determined to ride this bike on my own. Next with a little push from her, I started to peddle. The faster my bike went the faster my heart raced. Finally I looked back nervously and noticed that my sister let go of my bike a long time ago. I was so excited that I accomplished freedom on my bike that I forgot to peddle. The next step I remember, I was lying on the ground, yet I did not care because of the adrenaline rush. I will never forget the exhilarating moment and growing up stage of riding a bike without training wheels.

Worst Day
My fathers name is Robert Oeleis, he died on Aug 28th 2003 of a heart attack. It was about six in the morning I was sleeping restlessly and the phone rang and I missed it then it rang again.

This was the start of the worst day of my life in the short seventeen years I had been alive. She proceeded to tell me that my father has

    Riding a bike without training wheels is a uniquely exciting and yet intimidating experience in nearly every child’s lifetime. Many can still remember the anticipation felt when watching the wheels on their bikes disappear one by one; many recall the slight uneasiness that came with gripping the handlebars for the first time and feeling the tremble of the transformed object beneath them. Of course, such a transition rarely comes easily and is often accompanied by an endless supply of band-aids and tears. However, after all is said and done, the struggles and the wheels are almost always stored away and forgotten. Similarly in life, it is important to accept challenges and be willing to set goals that exceed one’s comfort zone. As human beings, we often find ourselves dependent on the safety of our “training wheels,” and are burdened by the limitations we place on ourselves. However, it is imperative that we learn to break free of these borders and pursue higher goals as sources of personal growth. By overcoming our fears, we may discover hidden strengths and talents and defeat the obstacles that…

    In Susan Glaspell’s, “Trifles” and “A Doll’s House” by Henry Ibsen, we noticed the vast similarity the two stories share. Two different woman make a decision to take matters into their own hands by doing what they want to do, no matter what the outcome may be and in spite of what society thinks. These two women come from different homes and lead very different lives yet, these two women share similar situations- both are victims; both are seeking individuality, and initially, both women end up alone. There are many ways that Nora and Mrs. Wright differ first; both come from completely different households……

    I was the only kid that year who got a bike and could not ride it. All of my hope and dreams of riding alongside my siblings and friends turned to dust. You see, out of all of my friends I was the only one who did not grasp the concept. Every day after school the kids would zoom by me on their bicycles and there I sat pushing my bike along. After months of pushing my bike, this one summer day I was pushing my bike down the street as I usually did, and my grandmother who unknowing to me had been watching me out of the front door came over to me and said today is the day that you stop pushing this bike. The lesson started my grandmother helped me on the bike and walked along side me holding me up so I could keep my balance, when she let go…

    It happened on a day like any other, but little did I know while I was sound asleep, that I might never have the chance to see my father ever again. It was around midnight when my father was on his way home on his motorcycle. He was only two blocks away from home when all of a sudden a car illegally ran a stop sign, took a sharp left turn, and caused the monstrous vehicle to collide with my father head on. His body flung over the hood, and he flew onto the side of the road. With no helmet on,…

    I was born in Scottsdale, Arizona on March 15th, 1999. I lived in Arizona until I was five years old. My brother Ben is two years older than me which is the perfect age difference to create competition between us. When Ben found something new to do, I had to do it too. It didn’t matter that I just turned three years old, I had to ride my bike without training wheels because Ben just did. Now I can’t remember exactly what I thought watching him do this, but I can assume I wanted to be like him. So when my dad was done helping Ben, I asked to have my training wheels taken off so that I could give it a try. Reluctantly, my dad did and when we got to the top of the hill he gave me a push to start and I ended up losing control and crashing into a cactus. Even with that initial bad experience of riding without training wheels, I still wanted to be like my brother. This admiration quickly had me riding a loop around my house daily so as to improve my skills.…

    Holding on for dear life, wobbling, I struggle to balance as I plunge into the culvert beside the driveway. Constantly attempting to balance and petal, as a young toddler, I appear frustrated and tired. At the age of four, the biggest obstacle consisted of learning to ride a bike. Ever since a young age, toddlers learn the basic skills of life: talking, reading, and walking. Skills like these come natural to many, but to me, it was like riding down a steep hill unable to brake. Trying to balance, steer, and pedal, huge obstacles of learning to ride a bike stand in my way of success. With more practice and dedication, the rider gains experience and knowledge of how the bike maneuvers. Meanwhile, shifting together the parts…

    I remember when I was four or five years old, my parents left every morning to go to work. I remember my parents saying “ Don’t you go out and start practicing on your new bike” and make me promise not to, which of course I would promise them. One hot summer afternoon, my Grandpa was babysitting me. I remember looking at my new bike standing beautiful in the backyard. “ Why don’t we go outside and practice on your new bike” my Grandma said. What he had said surprised me, because I never thought of breaking a rule. “ This will be our little secret, Ok?”, I quickly nodded my name and smiled. We went outside and practiced almost everyday that my Grandpa babysit. We practiced form the…

    Passion for Bike Riding

    My first bike ride with my uncle was a disaster. I prepared to the fullest extent. Knee pads, helmet, elbow pads, the whole nine yards. I was ready. As I stepped out of house into the bright sunshine of midday I heard a voice. “You ready buddy?” I heard my uncle call. I nodded in response “Yes sir!” “Well let’s get to it then” he replied. He wheeled the cherry red bicycle from the side of the house into the empty driveway. “Hop on” he said. I did as I was told. I was a nervous wreck as I climbed onto the two wheeled wonder that stood before me. The leather from the seat was of course extremely hot from the heat of the sun and scorched my leg as I sat down. I guess my anxiety showed because my uncle said “Don’t worry bud. I got you.” The voice which was meant to be reassuring did nothing to calm me. “Well let’s start then. Go ahead peddle now.” I began to peddle on his command. The wind blowing on my face was alluring. I wanted to go faster. I sped up, while my uncle still followed behind. “Ok I’m going to let go now. Let go now. Don’t worry you’ll be fine” he said. I wasn’t really paying attention to him when he spoke. All I was focused on was enjoying the ride. Immediately after he let go however, the ride became terrifying. The bike that felt so secure before now began to wobble and shake underneath me. I attempted to adjust my weight in an effort to stabilize the bike which leads to more disaster. I fell down immediately luckily landing on grass instead of concrete. “Ah!” I screamed as I fell. The bike landed on top of me constructing my leg. My uncle immediately came running over to see if I was alright. “It’s alright. Its part of learning to ride a…
