Advice In My Life

Decent Essays

During my early years of life, I found it very interesting to block out my grandma’s advice and do what I felt was necessary. Being as though I was a child, you can see that my way of doing things was absolutely incorrect. So, that resulted in some very interesting things taking place in my life.

You would think that I would have been outside, but I was not in the mood for running around and playing tag like the other children did. I wanted to ride on my brand new pink scooter that my sister and I had to share.

We got to the end of the street and was time for us to turn around. I began to make the U-turn and as I did I began to speed up just a little. All of a sudden, I felt the scooter began fall on its side. We were still on the scooter and it was sliding on the rough road, tearing up my knees in the process.

    Ryne Garrison Suddenly I Became Me Looking back now, it is easy to see that I was a very different sort of kid growing up.
