Stage Fright

We were cleaning up from the booth and putting everything away. I was going over the lyrics inside my head and remembering everyone that was gonna be there. I was a little nervous but i new i was gonna do great. we went into the ballroom and i looked at the stage. Helen tapped my shoulder and said  "You'll do great" Thanks i said. Everyone grabbed a chair and walked it up to the stage and sat in the seating order. There were only a few people there but i was really nervous. Like what if the music doesn't work. Or maybe i forget the lyrics and freeze?!? It was Thomas's turn then Helen's then mine. Helen sat back down and i stood up. I knew it was my time to shine. The music started playing and i counted in my head "1 2 3 4" i started singing and i could feel my knees shaking and feeling like they where going to snap off. i performed once in front  of the hole 3/4 5/6 and 7/8  but those where my friends. and it much harder trying to sing in front of your friends and strangers that you probably only talked to for 5 minutes or so. I sat back down and heard people clapping everyone was looking and smiling at me. I look over to Mrs.Roberts and she mouthed the words 'Amazing'  At that moment i new i did an awesome job. 

Last Football Game

I was on the way to my brother’s football game. I was with my sister and my mom on the way to meet our dad and aunt. I got there and we sat down next to them. We both saw Michael's friends. There were five boys sitting next to each other with the all same hair cut cheering for Michael My sister new some of them because when she graduated they were going into their second year at Seaholm. we watched the game start my brother played center he was number 72 but number 74 at home games he slammed into the other player and they fell right on their back and then the announcer said "Michael Aquino with a tackle on number 23!"

The crowd went wild and everyone was cheering. Later in the game it was four to zero our lead. My dad’s friend Todd was sitting next to us and his son was playing to his name was Blaire he was QB and he threw to my brothers friend Andrew. He ran down the line and jumped into the end zone. It was now 5 to 0 still our lead. My brother played the whole game! When in half time they took off their helmets and their heads were steaming my sister and I laughed. It was 6 0 and the game ended leaving us wining then I remember it was the last game. My mom said "I’m glad I don't have to clean that stinking helmet again".
