Read the passage and answer the following questions.

Learning  how  to  ride  a  bike  for  the  first  time  was  a  nerve  racking independent moment.  I was  about  five years old when  my sister  informed me  that I was too old to still be riding a bike with training wheels. That was the time I decided not to  depend  on  them  anymore.  Even  though  I  had  some  doubt,  my  sister  and  I  went outside and started to take the little wheels off my bike. After my bike went through the transformation, I was now ready for the big moment. With butterflies in my stomach, I slowly  got  on  the  bike,  and  with  my  shaky  hands,  I  gripped  the  handles  tightly. Meanwhile my sister was holding on to me to help keep my balance. I was so afraid the she would let go, yet I was determined to ride this bike on my own. Next with a little push from her, I started to peddle. The faster my bike went the faster my heart raced. 

Finally, I looked back nervously and noticed that my sister let go of my bike a long time ago. I was so excited that I accomplished freedom on my bike that I forgot to peddle. The next step I remember, I was lying on the ground, yet I did not care because of the adrenaline rush. I will never forget the exhilarating moment and growing up stage of riding a bike without training wheels.
