When the time finally came I had a huge smile on my face as I sat in front of the big wrapped mound. I savagely attacked and threw the paper everywhere. Underneath, the bike was blue and green and had hot wheels logos all over it. It’s amazing! Of course it had training wheels on so I wheeled it outside with help from my mom. I jumped on and pedaled around the cement pad. I didn’t fall over!
Then during that summer my dad decided that one day we were going to go up to the school and I would learn to ride a bike without training wheels. The weekend my dad had off work finally arrived

    Officially, starting from that day, my life was filled with elation and happiness. I never want to forget the time I started reading Maximum Ride.
