Learning how to ride a bike was a painful, but useful lesson that formed me partially to the person I am now. The process was so painful that I wanted to give up, but my father helped me and I succeeded in riding the bike. The learning process was a formative experience that taught that not giving up could mean success.
The most formative experience part of learning how to ride a bike was not learning how to ride it, but that even after falling several times keep trying to learn to ride the bike was the most formative experience. On the 1st year elementary school I received my first bike from my parents. It was all very exciting, but since I didn't know how to ride a bike my father promised me to teach me how to ride it the following weekend. On that weekend, my father taught me the basics of how to ride it. The first try was a big failure and fell on the group. The second try was even force. When I fell, I scratched my arm and started to bleed. I repeated this process a couple of times until I was sick of it and I wanted to give up. However, my father persuaded me to give it another try. He stood next to me and held me in such a way that I wouldn't fall again. This time I succeed and even rode a few meters on my own. That experience taught me that not giving up easily and being persistent was the best way to achieve a goal.
Learning new things and trying achieving a goal comes with challenges that will either keep challenging us to go on or to give up. Learning how to ride a bike was for me the necessary formative experience to teach me that in life nothing is easy and that giving up wasn't the solution to achieve a goal.

The most important part of learning to ride a bike was not learning how to ride it, but keep persisting to succeed to ride a bike. In my first elementary school year, I received my first bike from my parents. It was all very exciting and I wanted to try it as soon as possible, but since I didn’t know how to ride a bike I had to wait until my father would have time to teach me how. On the following weekend, my father taught me the basics of how to ride a bike. The first try was a big failure and it was quite painful. The second try was even worse. I fell again and I scratched my arm and started to bleed. I repeated the same process a couple of times until I was sick of it and felt like giving up. However, my father persuaded me to give it another try. He stood next to me and held me firm so I couldn’t fall. This time I did succeed and even rode a few meters on my own, which gave an exciting feeling of accomplishment. That experience taught me that not giving up easily and be persistent was the best way to achieve a goal.
Learning new things and trying to achieve a goal comes with challenges that will either be an incentive to keep going or to give up. Such an incentive was for me learning how to ride a bike. It taught me that in life nothing is easy and that keep trying is important.
