As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she knocked into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.
“ 36 ”the boy shouted．Then, with a silly smile on his face, the boy 37 his right leg and walked the way Amy limped（跛行）when she walked.
Amy closed her eyes. “ 38 him!” She told herself as she headed for her classroom.
But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy’s 39 way. It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone laughed at her 40 . Kids made fun of her about her 41 or her limping. Amy was 42 it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing（嘲笑）made her feel 43 alone.

“There is a Christmas 47 contest on the radio station,” Amy’s Mom announced．“ 48 a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize. I think 49 at the table with blonde（白肤金发的）curly hair should enter.”
A 50 took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Amy went to work on her letter. “Dear Santa Claus,” she began.
While Amy worked at her letter, the rest of the family tried to 51 what she might ask from Santa．Amy’s sister, Jamie, and Amy’s Mom both thought a three-foot Barbie doll would 52 Amy’s wish list. Amy’s Dad guessed a picture book. But Amy wasn’t 53 to tell her secret Christmas wish just then. Here is Amy’s letter to Santa, which she wrote that night:
Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Amy. I am nine years old．I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me 54 the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy（脑瘫）. I just want one 55 when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.

Parents’ blessing will play a great part in the growth of their children. My father wrote me a valuable letter before his death, one part of which always 36 . “I know you will do 37 great that will set you among the very best one day in the future.”
Since I first read his 38 at 12, they have lived in my heart. 39 ,I knew that my dad’s believing in me gave me permission to believe in 40 . “You will do something great.” He didn’t know 41 that would mean, but whenever I felt 42 of myself, I remember my father’s words, and 43 he were here, so I could ask, “Is this what you were 44 about, Dad?”
Many years have passed, and I believe that my father 45 have been proud when I 46 from basic training and became a rescue swimmer. Lately, I’ve come to realize he’d want me to move 47 to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in someone else.
Yes, it’s time to all of us to 48 writing our own letters to our children. They look to us with the same 49 . “Is this it, Daddy? Am I doing fine?” It’s why every child growing up says, “Watch me!” Our children don’t 50 because they are not afraid to fail. They are only afraid of failing 51___.
Remember to give your children 52 to succeed. If you don’t have children, then write a letter to someone who 53 you. They are waiting for you to believe in them. Trust me, love will be 54 real and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “ 55 ! You will do something great.” Not having that blessing from someone they love may be the only thing holding them back.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list__36__ in our past that we felt __37__ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very __38__ process, but there’s always some __39__soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then __40__ that we find ways to __41__ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever __42__ my communication.

The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious __46__. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one __47__ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name __48__ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still __49__. 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 __50__, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”

I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to __54__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 __55__the past wrongdoings.
