Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list _______ in our past that we felt _______ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.

This seemed like a very _______ process, but there’s always some _______soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then _______ that we find ways to _______ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever _______ my communication.

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my _______, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff _______ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies (伙伴) and I decided to play a ________ on him.

After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a SOB (畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious________. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ________ found out.

Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name ________ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still ________. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Sheriff Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few ________, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused (停顿). “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”

“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a ________ discussion. His closing words were, “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you ________ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it ________ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”

Jimmy inspired me to ________ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to ________the past wrong doings.
