Wide Awake

When I was around eight years old my mom had a surprise gift for me, hideing in a large closet. Later that evening she brought me to the door if the closet Wondering what the meaning of this was, I opend the door and saw a shiny, eye-popping bicycle! She told me that I had been diligent in my school and she was proud of me. I thanked my mom and then imedieatly took it outside to ride. I remember the wheels making a whizz sound that got louder as I rode faster along the road, and being thrilled at the speed. Also I started to learn how to use no hands which was difficult but once I had it I would proudly show my friends confidently waving my hands in the air as I pedaled along.
