Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list   1  in our past that we felt   2    of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．

This seemed like a very  3  process, but there' s always some   4 soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then   5  that we find ways to   6  people, or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever  7   my communication．

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my   8  , I remembered an incident from high school．I grew up in a small town．There was a Sheriff   9  of us kids liked．One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a   10   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 s．o．b．（畜生）．The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious   11  ．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I   12 ．No one ever found out.

Nearly 20 years later．Sheriff Brown's name   13  on my list．I didn't even know if he was still   14  ．Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed．I tried his number．After a few   15 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused．"Yes．" "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins．"

Jimmy inspired me to   19   all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to   20  the past wrongdoings．
