My earliest memory

   My earliest memory was experiencing a bike crash at the age of 6. I remember it happened 9 years ago in the summer in the afternoon. It wasn't meant to be a memorable moment that I would call " nice". To me, it was a funny and cool moment. I am actually thankful that it happened or else I wouldn't be sure of what to write right now for this English essay. This is what basically happened that day.
    It was one warm and sunny afternoon. My brother, sister and I were riding out bikes in the yard. We were about to start a race with our bikes and see who was the fastest. I was super excited and happy. I had 100% confidence that i would win the race and be cool. I was looking forward to the part where i would win and my brother would shout out '' GOOD JOB VIV!!! YOUR BETTER THAN ME !!'' and also where he would go running to  my mom and say'' Mom!!! Viv  beat me in our race!!!''. I was also hoping my sister whos a minute older than me would be admiring my biking skills and saying '' Cool viv!! i want to win toooo!!''. So there we were, at the starting line. My sister and I was at the starting line but starting a bit in front of my brother since he was older. The race was about to begin.
     My brother yelled ''3! 2! 1!''. We all started to bike in our fastest speed. My heart was thumping. I rode very very fast but was still slower than my brother. My sister was behind me by a bit. I was telling myself i had to be cool and get number one. I stepped harder on the pedals on the bike to ride faster. Sadly, i still couldnt catch up to my brother. As i stepped harder on the pedals, i saw my brother getting closer to the finish  line. At last, he made it. I was still trying hard to at least get second place. As i got closer to the finish line, I realized that i was about to crash into a tree instead. I was at the side of the lane instead of the middle. The side of the finish line is where the tree was. I didnt know that until i got closer to the finish line. I tried to stop the bike before i crashed. However, i was riding too fast and also scare at the same time that i couldnt control the bike properly. At last, i crashed in to the tree and hugged it. I didnt cry. Instead, i was scared that i would get in trouble for crashing into the tree. My brother and sister asked '' Are you okay??''. I said '' Yes''. I quicky then went to the mirror in my house quietly and checked if there were any injuries. I was also checking if there were blood. I wanted to erase evidence that proved that i crashed into the tree since i thought i would get in trouble. 
 
      In the end, my brother told my mother. My mother kept asking me '' Are you okay?'' a lot of times. She kept checking my face for any injuries. I felt relieved. Even until today, I still dont understand why i thought i would get in trouble for crashing into a stupid tree.
