Personal Narrative: The Challenges Of Overcoming

Have you ever faced a challenge that is hard to overcome? The answer is probably yes. Was it an adrenaline rush? Maybe so because mine was.
On a Wednesday, August 5th, at about 8:00 in the morning in the summer of 2015 I decided to call my friend to see if I could come over or if he wanted to hang out today. Not to long after that he offered me to come over to his house and I said “yes, I will come over for a little bit.” Therefore, I get in the shower, eat, put some clothes on, and then I put gas in my dirt bike. Shortly after that I realize one of my tires is flat and I also need to put some oil into my dirt bike so I could get to his house safely and efficiently.
About thirty minutes later I am able to pump up my tire and I also put oil

into my dirt bike. However, there was one problem I put the wrong oil in it so I let the wrong oil out. Therefore, I look in my shed for the correct oil that is needed for my dirt bike and I put it in there. After this I start up my dirt bike and let it warm up a bit because it is very old. While I’m letting my dirt bike warm up I call my friend again to confirm that I’m allowed to come over his house and I won’t get into trouble for doing so.
About an hour later I get on my dirt bike and I drive out of my yard which I was a little sketchy about because I could barely see at this time in the morning. I proceed to go onto backroads where I think it would be safe and I plan to be extra careful because usually deer jump out onto the road where I would be driving at. I got halfway into Mardela and I run into a patch of woods, which made the roads very slippery so I was a little scared. In addition to that it was very cold and dark in the patch of woods so I could barely see.
By this time I was almost in the main town of Mardela everything was going great and I still had a sufficient amount of gas. I rode through another patch of woods which made my ride even more slippery than a couple of minutes ago, but this time around I’m on a turn and I almost fall off of my dirt bike which scared me half to death. About ten minutes after that happened I arrive at my friend’s house successfully with no trouble at all.
While I’m at my friend’s house we played videogames, rode the dirt bikes, and played football outside. When we went back into the house their mom offered me something to eat and I say “yes I would love something to eat.” Their mom fixed a homemade pizza which was probably the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. I congratulate their mom and tell her how good the pizza was.
Later on I tell my friends “goodbye”, but they insisted I stayed for a little longer but I couldn’t. Therefore, I get on my dirt bike, start it up, and then I leave. I proceed to get on backroads again where I think it’s safe. However, it wasn’t when I’m almost at my house I see a police officer, but we were driving on the opposite side of the road. At first I thought he was going to pull me over, but oddly enough he didn’t. At this point I am relieved and I go home with no other trouble. Besides the fact that my tire is going flat again.
The lesson of this story is don’t do something if you think you are going to get into trouble or risk your safety. No matter how rigorous the challenge is rise above it and do the best you can!
