Almost a 300

This Friday was the closest that I had ever came to get a 300 in bowling. I had the first 10 strikes in a row and I knew deep down in the pity of my stomach that I was going to do get a 300. I told everyone before hand that if this does happen that no one is gong to watch me while I bowl. And what does everyone do, hover around where I bowl and watches me. I went up to the approach, getting ready to shoot what maybe the greatest shots of my life. I've waiting for this day for about four years. I went to go and throw the ball and my nerves shot threw the roof and the ball went straight into the gutter ball. My team, my family and myself couldn't believe what happened. I guess it was too stressful and I was pretty nervous. It was so upsetting to think that it took me four years to get up to this point and just come down on myself because of a few nerves that were shot. But my parents were still proud of me that I accomplished what I did, and I guess in a way I'm proud of myself too.
