MY ACCOMPLISHMENT
This is how I learned how to ride a bike and achieve my goal. First I
started on the grass. My Mom held on to me and I told her to let go.
Also I practiced every Wednesdays after dinner. I practice a lot!
Then I started riding my bike on the street but first I needed
to learn how to start. My Dad said put one foot on the
pedal that’s up and push of onto the one that’s down. I tried but I fell of
my bike. The next time my mom held on to me very softly and I did it and I
Tried by myself and I did it! I started biking on the rode and that’s how I
learned how
to ride my bike and accomplish my goal.
CONCLUSION
Helen Keller and I both persistent to
achieve our goals. Helen Keller
persisted to become an activist for the
