I was astonished, I was riding a bike all by myself and I knew what courage felt like after that moment. I closed my eyes for awhile and when I opened them I looked back, but Amy was not next to me, she was far behind. I started pedaling and she held onto the bike. I knew I could not do it, but I was willing to try it. One day, she told me it was time for me to ride the bike alone. I always felt confident riding with Amy because she would hold onto the bike, and I knew I would not fall. In the summer of fifth grade, my friend Amy gave me bike lessons. I remember believing that no matter what I did, I would never accomplish riding a bike by myself.
