One morning, as I was rushing to get to school, I accidentally tripped and fell down several stairs, landing on my left ankle. It was very painful, and I couldn’t put any weight on it. The fears of being injured and of missing school were both very strong, since it was right before exams and I had a lot going on.
Last September, my mom and I were a part of a group bike ride called “Climate Ride.” A little over a hundred people rode their bikes from New York City to Washington, DC. It was 300 miles, and my mom and I rode it in five days, on a tandem bike for two. When we got to DC, the whole group rallied on the Capitol steps. The purpose of the ride was to bring awareness to climate change, an issue that I’m interested in, so the activity was enjoyable. It was nice that I was able to spend quality time with my mom, and we became very close throughout the ride. And all through the trip we had no injuries—everything went very well. read
