Some activities are hard to learn. And maybe some are not. But the best way to learn is to have perseverance and keep trying.
When I started to learn how to wave-board, at first it was probably one of the hardest things I have learned to do. Being the visual and kinetic learner I am, I first saw someone wave board and I tried on the sand of the beach as well. It was time to get to get in the water. First, my cousin went. As he went. I took notes. He was a natural. When it was my turn, I entered the water. But I was not a natural. I’m wearing the wave boarding “shoes” and floating in the water. They throw the rope I am supposed to hold on to. And then, the boat starts its engine. And once it manages to pick me up, I fall face forward. And again, and again, and again. But I just keep on trying. Eventually, I was able to wave board and I lasted a while. But it was all a learning process that happened because I didn’t give up.
Although, when I first removed the training wheels from my bike, it did not go as planned. I thought that I was ready and able to remove my training wheels, so I did. At first, it was perfect. I was being held on by my sister and she was telling me what to do when she would let go. But once I arrived at the sidewalk, she decided to let go. And right then and there, I realized there was a small bump with a crack in the middle of it. Once I had spotted it, it was already too late. The wheel of the bike entered the crack and I flew off my bike. I slide I hit the ground which led to a huge scar on my knee. Till this day, when I see my scar, I know that I cannot learn just by listening to what one has to say.
