I tried to recall the memory. I remember learning how to ride a bicycle. It happened when I was about 7 years old during the summer holidays. My father took me to the park near our home and helped me learn. At first, I was scared; I thought I would fall. He held the bicycle while I tried to ride. I fell, and I wanted to stop, but my father and my mom told me to try again. After some time, I could ride by myself, and I was very happy about it. I remember it as a pleasant memory because I learned something new and spent good time with my family. I felt stronger and more confident. This memory affected my life because now I know that if I keep trying, I can do difficult things. It taught me not to give up. When I face a difficulty in strategy or other parts of life, I remember that day and try again.
