How I learned to ride my bike

Was learning how to ride a bike worth it if I was continuously crashing into the fence, getting bruises, and getting frustrated?

The air was warm and the air conditioning was the best invention in the world, my siblings and I were eating breakfast at the table and Nate said to me “You are going to learn how to ride a bike today” with Zack agreeing.

Scared I say, “ um ok”. I felt my heart beating out of my chest.

Zack then said “You will be ok” as if he read my mind.

“Wait what!” I thought “ Great, I am going to break my neck and my brother is secretly “Dr. Fate the superhero”,” I thought in my mind which usually makes me feel better but it didn't happen.

First, we took off the training wheels on my bike. When we started I was continuously crashing on the wall. I was so angry and upset at the same time that I threw the bike, wait, let’s be truthful I was only 5 so I pushed the white, pink, and teal bike and ran into the kitchen, got water, and sat on the couch to watch TV.    “Nobody can make me come back outside nobody,” I thought.”

When I was simmered down, my brothers convinced me to come back and try again.

They said “hey come back outside you have to lose a few times to win” Once they convinced me I was very determined at that point that I was willing to get many scratches and it happened. After many falls I finally did it. I was so proud, I jumped up and down and hugged my brothers saying “I did it! I did it! I did it!” I was so proud of myself and my parents did not even know.

We wanted it to be a surprise and when they found out they were so proud of us they gave us a great big hug and a kiss.  Then we ordered takeout. I was so excited for all of my bike rides with my family to come.

Looking back on that day, I will always remember the day my brothers didn’t give up on me and they never will.                                                                          -Lizzy

The summer of 2020 was my best summer ever.  I traveled to South Carolina to visit my family.  It was the very first time I went on vacation without my mom and dad.  I stayed for over a month.  I had so much fun I babysat my new baby cousin,  I went on another mini vacation to Colombia, South Carolina with my Aunt Rene to visit her friend Mr. Rosa.
 My cousins Jaidah and Jordan came to visit while I was there. I stayed with my grandparents. My Mama and Pop Pop lives in Simpsonville, South Carolina.  They have a beautiful home with a pool less than 2 blocks away.  I was excited but also  nervous.  I knew my parents were going to be leaving soon so I was scared.  I had to face my fear. I was scared Because it was like my second time without my parents. After a week  they were going back in New Jersey without me.   The day my parents left I was sad but I knew they would be coming back. 
 Let me tell you about how I babysat my baby cousin. His birthday is on April 4th 2019 so right when I arrived  in South Carolina he was one year old at the time.  His name is Chance.   What I did with my baby cousin was fun.  We went to the pool almost everyday.  He was very scared at first because the water was cold.  I was holding him in the water so he could get used to it.  When he was no longer afraid he started laughing and splashing a lot. We went to the park and he had a lot of fun.  I pushed him on the swings.  He kept laughing and smiling.
I took care of  Chance for 3 days.  He slept with me and my mom.  I had to help at night when he would wake up because he was hungry.  It was not easy because I was so tired.  I didn't realize how hard it is to take care of  someone.  It takes a lot of  responsibility
My grandmother bought a red wagon for Chance to ride in.  My mom and I took him for long walks around her development.  It was so hot one day we had to make sure he kept his hat.  He kept trying to take it off .  It was so hot that when we went back to the house we were so wet from sweating.  
After more than 6  weeks of  being with my grandparents it was time for us to leave.  I was  so sad to leave Chance but I was also excited to see my mom and dad.  Chance and I created a great bond during our time together. I really can't wait until I can go back down to South Carolina again !

My First Time Surfing

Have you ever gone surfing before? I’ll tell you about the first time I went surfing. It was in the summer on a scorching hot and humid day. I left the beach house that day and noticed how bright and sunny it was. My eyes had to squint from the light. It took thirty minutes to get to the ocean and I am glad the car had air conditioning to keep me cool. I remember when the air conditioning in the car didn’t work. It was like torture. But that’s a story for another time.

Anyways, those thirty minutes in the car felt like they were moving in slow motion. I felt excited to learn how to surf and frankly, a little nervous. It was a long walk from the parking lot. “How cold is the water?” I wondered. “BBBRRRR!” The water was ice cold but I got used to it fast. Then I thought, “All I have to do is get on the board and balance and I would be surfing!” It turned out surfing was way harder. I waited for the perfect, tall wave to strike and then I tried to stand up on my bright blue and yellow surfboard but I fell immediately. I tried two more times and the same thing happened. I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to give up. All of a sudden large, dark clouds appeared. I thought to myself, “This is my last attempt!” because a storm was rolling in. I had to try it quickly and I climbed up on the board. I got my feet in place just in time. The wave lifted my surfboard and pushed me forward. I was flying toward the crowded beach. “I did it!” I shouted. My dad yelled, “Nice job!”  I started surfing! I felt accomplished. “EEEEEEHEEE!” We heard the whistle of the lifeguard. Thunder cracked and we rushed out of the water. We had to race to the car because it started raining. “That was pretty fun,” I thought to myself.

That day I realized I had the best day at the ocean in my life! I will always remember that I learned I should never give up. When I keep trying then I will accomplish my goals.

My first injury

Sometimes life can have ups and downs, this is a down. 2 years ago I was in third grade. When I came to school it was a nice spring day  80 degrees,  at lunch my friend Adian said come play soccer. The score was 1 -1  I fell and hit my knee on the dirt   ouch I said as my knee felt tight. Next

My knee felt tighter as  I walked back inside. I Thought  ouch hope I'm ok   after recess when we went back inside  pop my knee felt  out of place like a rag being twisted. I  said to one  of my classmates to pull out my seat. I thought to myself why me  great now I had just had a knee injury. My mind was racing. I thought I would never be able to play basketball again what was I going to do with my life? Oh no why now I thought.

I did not want to look at it  . The teacher  took a look. She   had to get a wheelchair and had to wait for my dad to get there   I thought to myself  will I  look back at this as a bad experience My answer was probably and I'm writing about it now And what happened to me  it wasn't a good memory but I still do remember it and I think I will for a long time unless I get Amnesia when I'm older   and forget  what I think is that bad experiences build on your character and as long as you keep pushing forward you will be just fine.

My first time getting stitches

It was a bright sunny day! I felt so happy that I was going to my cousins house to play while my dad helped my uncle set up their brand new TV. Me and my cousin were playing when we heard the doorbell ring, “I wonder who that is” Said my cousin. I looked out the window to see who it was and it was my Aunt, coming home from the supermarket.

My cousin ran over to the door and opened it for my aunt. I sat down on a comfy chair in the living room while my aunt walked in the house with her dog. Once the dog found me I got so scared because the dog was about to pounce on me! “Ahhhhh!” I said, I leaned over into a sharp table that cut a small part of my head! I bursted into tears I was crying so hard, I felt like I couldn’t even feel my head. Everybody came running to me!”Sienna are you okay?!”

My head hurt so bad and I was trying not to look and the blood on the table and floor. My dad called my mom immediately and my mom “What?!” My mom said “Im coming right now!!” (Who was also at the supermarket) said she ran out with nothing and drove over as fast as she could. The whole time I was waiting I was crying. I was watching a movie with my cousin when we heard the doorbell ring, It was my mom. I was so afraid of going to the hospital that I tried to fake sleep so I wouldn’t have to go. My mom didn’t fall for it but she carried me to the car anyways. The hospital was only 15 minutes away from my uncles house. When we got there I was terrified! I hated the hospital. They said I needed stitches! I started crying when they said that because I thought stitches was surgery.

I was so scared to go in the room. They said to lay down on the side that didn’t get hurt. I wanted to cry but I didn’t because there were people outside the curtain. When I was done I was so happy to leave because I could cry. It hurt so much I hated it. The cream for my head felt so horrible and gross!I was light headed and disgusted.  When I got home I immediately went to sleep because I was very tired from this long day.

That was a crazy day and I still have a little scar from the time I got hurt for the first time. I will always remember this because that was the first time where I hurt myself badly. Now when I look back at the day I hurt myself I always remember to be careful and be safe and to always look at my surroundings before

Have you ever had a friend that said something that hurt your feelings? Don’t worry it has happened to me many times, too. I usually just ignore it, but this time it hurt more than the other times and if I knew this was going to happen I would never go on the bike ride.

“Mom, mom. Can you please drive me to the  high school to ride bikes with my friends?” I ask my mom as I cross my fingers.

“When?”, my mom asks with a sigh.

“Now,” I say hoping she'll say yes.

“Fine, go get your bike and  I'll get it in the car,” she responded while I jumped up and down with joy.

I go and grab my bag with a mask, my phone, some water, and snacks. I run out the back door to the garage to get my bike out, my mom puts my bike in the car, and then we are off. We get to high school and see a bunch of my friends waiting near the tennis courts. I jump out of the car with excitement, grab my bike, and got to my friends

“Hi guys,” I say walking up to them.

“Hi Mimi,” said Alexa as she ran up to hug me.

“Hey,” said Jamie,” How are you-,” she started, but before she finished her sentence she was cut off by James yelling,” Bet you girls won’t catch up with us before we get to the football field!” as he rode off with Jackson.

I took that as a challenge and immediately got on my bike and started riding towards them. I caught up to them and we made it to the football field. I was pretty tired and needed a break so we all sat down for a little.  I got out my phone to watch some Youtube. The first thing that came up was a contemporary dance from a show called The Next Step. I was so excited about this cool dance I decided to show it to my friends.

“Hey Jamie, look at this cool video I found,” I say as I show her the video.

“Um, ok no offense or anything, but I kinda think dance is kinda cringy,” she said as the video ended.

After I heard her say that I was sad, angry, I thought if she knew that it would hurt my feelings she wouldn’t say it. Not only did I feel I feel hurt, but I also felt bad for the people in the video because they worked so hard for that to look good and she still said what she said.

“Oh ok, I’ll just show someone else then,” I say walking away in a disappointed tone.

“Hey Mimi,” Jamie called after me ”, What time is it?”

“About 5:30”, I responded, then I realized I had a dance in forty-five minutes.

So I quickly called my mom to come to pick me up. I rushed home and quickly got ready for the dance. I went to rehearsal and decided to show some dance friends in the video hoping they would like it. I showed my dance friends the video and they all loved it and at that moment I realized that I am so lucky to have these friends to make me feel better when somethings wrong. So, when I look back on that day I now know that what she said isn’t important, but it is what or who makes you feel better that matters
