Bicycle

I never learned how to ride a bicycle when I was younger mainly because I was afraid of falling down. Years back, I never tried to learn because I was afraid of taking risks and end up have everything blow up in my face. But I grew older and I was jealous of the other kids who were having the time of their lives simply by riding their bikes and that was when I thought to myself "Hey! They're kids like me, why should I be afraid when they aren't? I want to ride a bike and I'm going to!" And that was the start of me taking risks. As I predicted I fell down, scratched my knees a couple of times but after a while I was getting a hang of it. I was really happy I took the chance to take that risk because it helped me become the person I am today. Yeah, I'm still scared of taking risks, but who isn't? Now I've learned that some risks are life's way of throwing opportunities at us to become better individuals and it's up to us to take the chance, that opportunity, that risk to become that individual or not.
