Learning a new skill is quite challenging. I vividly remember the challenges I had to face to learn to ride bicycle. My father could not afford me children’s bicycle, which has safety wheels on either side of the bicycle to keep you from falling. So I had to learn bicycling on my father’s bicycle. It was far to bigger than me; I had real difficulty controlling it. Since my height was very short, I could not mount the seat meant for riders, I just hung on it and ran along as it moved. I fell hundreds of times, injuring myself; but I never gave up.

Initially my cousins helped me balance it. thus slowly, gradually I learnt to maintain balance. Finally I succeeded in riding it. I was greatly thrilled to have ridden it without falling.

I remember that I faced a lot of difficulties in learning swimming. The Yamuna River flows near to my village and I had the fear of swimming. But the children of my age often went there to enjoy and play in the water. I too wanted to enjoy but was always taken aback due to my deep seated fears. However, one day I decided to go in the river in the presence of my uncle. He held me with his hands and I gave my first attempt in shallow waters. Slowly I started to move my hands and legs and gradually began to float in water. I repeated it again and again and within some days of rigorous practice, I gained a lot of confidence. Eventually, I overcame my fears and learned to swim confidently.
