Well, to be honest, there are many things that I could not afford in my past, but I have now. The one thing that I wanted and needed was a bicycle. It was a year ago when I was in grade 7, and I had to walk 1 km to get to school. It was difficult for me, especially in the hot weather during summer. So, I decided to buy a bicycle to make my commute easier. I started saving money for 9 months to buy my bicycle. When I finally had enough money, I told my brother that I wanted to buy a bicycle. We went to a market named Carhano located in Peshawar city. When we entered a shop, there were many bicycles, but I liked the Toyota one because it was not that expensive and had features like double brakes and aluminum. I bought it, and it brought me so much happiness. The first time I rode the bicycle, I felt like I was in an airplane, flying. It satisfied me greatly because it made my daily commute much easier and enjoyable.
