The issue of the animation is hard work in pursuing dreams. One's dreams can be pursued if they would only work hard for it, and this is what the story intends to show.
Story
The story follows a little boy named Simon, who comes from a poor family - but he has very big aspirations to become a racer. He wasn't...entirely sure what sort of racer he wants to be, however. One day while talking to his friends, one of those friends asks him what he would like to be when he grows up. Stumped, Simon looks around to glance at a bicycle parked not too far from them, and promptly answers with 'I want to be a bike racer when I grow up and win lots of races!'
On the way home from school on the same day, he finds that a brand new bicycle is on sale, but he has no money to pay for it. Determined that the bicycle would be his, he embarked on a series of odd jobs - two of which include walking an extremely fast puppy, and dealing with mice (which Simon is actually very afraid of) in a house.
Many odd jobs later, Simon manages to get the bicycle and uses it for his entire duration of his childhood to adolescence. In the end, he manages to become a racer - but instead of a bicycle racer, he turns out to be a champion Formula One racer instead. He never forgets the bicycle that had been his starting point, however.

Reflection
I think I could have done better in a lot of aspects in this task - such as creating a better story or adding more to it, and coming up with a much better animation. Time constraints and lack of communication are one of the major issues in creating this animation, hopefully I can do better on future projects.
