It was a bookshelf I wanted to make for my room. I found a simple design online and bought the wood, nails, and a hammer. I was excited and started right away. But I didn’t measure the wood correctly—one piece was too short. Then, I hit my thumb with the hammer while nailing. It hurt, but I kept going. When I finished, the bookshelf looked wobbly. It could barely hold my books without leaning to one side. My dad saw it and laughed, but he helped me fix it. He taught me to measure twice before cutting and to hold the hammer properly. We added extra support to the bottom, and soon it was sturdy. Now, that bookshelf is in my room, and every time I look at it, I remember my first try. It’s not perfect, but it’s special because I made it—with a little help. DIY isn’t about being perfect. It’s about trying, making mistakes, and learning. 31. What was the writer’s first DIY project?
