“My scooter”

Long time ago, when I was a kid, everything seemed to be fun and freedom; I used to see the world as something really big where bad things happened to others, but not to me, I had a very optimistic point of view, but there are certain things that shift it as they happen.

At that time the scooter was the trend of every children in the streets, I remember that if you hadn’t had one, or at least something with wheels, you couldn’t be able to hang out with anybody. I worked really hard at school to convince my parents to buy me one, but they told me that it was dangerous because of the cars that suddenly appeared on the street and bla, bla, bla.. But as a kid, you had a tremendous power of persuasion against your parents, so at the end they agreed.
One weekend my family, my scooter and I visited my grandparents; all the family was there and I remember I felt very happy to see them all, specially my cousins who were more or less the same age as me and also had their scooters. We were like the Biker Mice from Mars, with the only difference that we hadn’t had bikes… we had scooters.
So “the gang” decided to make some races along the street, and f----ck yeah! It was really funny, we were all having a good time: lots of laugh, lots of candies and a great variety of scooter tricks. However, I didn’t mention it was my first time without the supervision of my parents in the scooter along the street, so I didn’t listen a word of the advices they told me before I go. So, you can imagine what happened next…
I was racing with my cousin, the race was really close, nobody knew who was going to win…the goal was in the other side of the street. In my head I said: “God, I feel like Superman, I’m riding so fast that I think I can fly, I’m going to win this race nothing can stop me… nothing”. Suddenly I saw my cousin breaking so hard, and the first thing I thought was: “Yeeeey I won! I won! I won!” , but everything went black.
When I opened my eyes I saw the face of an old man that was really worried about me, I didn’t listen a word of the people that was surrounding me, I saw the faces of my parents with a very strange face because they were happy but with tears in their eyes and my cousins were crying. Despite the fact that I was knocked down by a car I was a really lucky guy, I didn’t suffer serious wounds, only several scratches and a big bump in my head. Since that day, I learned to listen the advices of my parents or older people and the most important one, to see both sides of the street before I cross it because, trust me, you don’t want to be knocked down by any car or bus.
