He said he didn’t want to __50 much of my time, as he knew I was busy and he needed to __51 his personal things. He had tears in his eyes as he shook my hand and left.
I’ve never seen him since, but I imagine he’s doing well. Meeting him __52 my life. Now when I’m in a hurry, or have a bad day, I try extra hard to speak __53 to those around me.

I 18 my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me 19 and said we had to continue until one of us 20 .
