4. Is there a symbolic item in your life that reminds you of your past self or inspires
hope for a future outcome?
In life, any task worth your time takes time to accomplish everything worth having
has to be worked for, no item reminds me of this fact more than my bike. You see,
one day Bridget, my childhood best friend said to me, “Jonas, the fact that you
can not ride your bike without training wheels is most pitiful” for the rest of the
day she continued to mock me for my inability to ride that bike. So I went to my
father and told him “father, my inability to ride a bike without training wheels is
making me an object of mockery to my peers”. My father looked up from this copy
of Issak Asimov's I robot and responded “that will not do, come son it is time I
teach you how to ride a bicycle. My father, taking off the glasses and setting them
down on the table, rose from his armchair and shouted to my mother “I am leaving
to teach our son Jonas the proper way to utilize a bicycle for riding purposes”.
“Very well” my mother shouted, “be sure to bring him back before 9 o'clock”. My
father then proceeded to take my bicycle and load it into the back of that family
honda civic before ushering me into the car.
