My most important educational experience

My most educational experience throughout my child hood would be learning how to ride a bike. I know that might not sound to educational...but it's something my dad taught me how to do and as a child its one of the first things you do. just like learning to tie your shoes or learning to read. all of which your parents are supposed to be there for you and help hold your hand while you learn. It is the early years in a child's life that are the most important. I remember my family went on a camping trip together and my dad taught my cousin to ride a bike for the first time and he was little and probably wouldn't even remember this now but he started crying and looked at my dad and said his dad should have been teaching him and after that he thanked my dad with joy. Its the simple little things in life that matter the most. And i feel like learning how to ride a bike taught me to want to be outside more and play rather than sit inside and just watch TV. And it's also something i want to be able to teach my kids when i become a mom someday. Being able to teach someone something is so amazing. And watching someone accomplish it after trying and trying is probably even a greater joy. I am very family oriented I am a home body my family is so important to be and i believe i am that way because i was taught that family always came first at a young age and my parents both taught me how to do so many things and formed me into the person i am today.  Yes  this might not be school educational or learning how to play an instrument but its educational in a different aspect. Everything we learn is educational because when you think about it we wouldn't be sitting in this class typing this blog right now if someone didn't show us how to do it. Riding a bike is something everyone assumes you can do because yes it is so simple but it's also that something we learn early on making it important. When i think back on the majority of my childhood memories I am outside with my sisters or the neighbors and we are either riding bikes or doing some sort of activity outdoors. And it was always so much fun we could be out there for hours riding them using our imagination. If i didn't learn how to ride a bike I am not sure what my childhood would have been like I'm sure not horrible but i know i wouldn't have any of those memories with me and that makes me sad to even think about. Like i said though it's the simple small things in life that matter the most, the stuff we typically take for granted, the little stuff we learn how to do and forget that someone actually had to put the time in to teach how to do that.
