To be honest, I tried to learn lots of things in my life, but in all of this I always face challenges. Here I would like to talk about one such memory when I started learning about riding a bicycle from my father at the age of 13. It was a very humbling experience for me. As my father is very skilled at riding a bicycle, he has won many races in his life. He tried to teach me various skills and methods to ride a bicycle, but I always faced difficulties. Because I couldn’t overcome the fear in my heart, and that is the reason I could not achieve any success. It is also due to my experience of feeling pain from falling. I think it all comes down to my fear. If I had a passion for riding a bicycle, I would have definitely succeeded at that time. One day I felt very vile riding with my dad due to my lack of proper learning. I felt terrible and fearful, and I was angry with my dad. But still, my father did not lose his confidence. He always tried to teach me different methods and encouraged me to learn music skills on YouTube and Google. It might have helped me in an easier way, but I still couldn’t find success. One day my father injured his hand due to many mistakes while riding a bicycle. That day I decided that I would not try to ride a bicycle again in the future, as it was a very fearful experience for me. So that is the time when I started to learn about riding a bicycle, but I always faced challenges.
