Chapter 10
"It hurts," I admitted.
"You won't realize the value of being perfectly fine until you get hurt." While treating the wound on my arm, my father said
"Father, I'm afraid to ride a bicycle right now; I don't want to fall again," I explained.
"You won't learn until you fall; we fall, we stand up, we fall again, and we stand up again; that process will make you stronger and more fearless in life; don't be afraid to fall." According to Ravon Elsher
A 13-year-old teenager like me didn't understand my father's simple but profound conversation until I experienced it.
That was the only conversation that was going through my head as I was falling from the mountain, but that falling was going to end my life, so I wouldn't have been able to experience anything else.
