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．
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school．I grew up in a small town．There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked．One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a 45 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 46 ．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I 47 ．No one ever 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 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused．"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 51 discussion．His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 54 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 55 the past wrongdoings．

Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read a book on tape.
But it 36 a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a youngster I stuttered(口吃) so badly that I was completely 37 to speak in public.
38 , when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a retired college professor. English was his favorite subject and 39 was his deepest love. He held a book of poems as if it were a diamond necklace, 40 pages as if uncovering treasures. When he heard our school was teaching Shakespeare and other classics, he could no longer 41 not being a part of our school.
When he 42 that I not only loved poetry but was 43 it, we became closer. There was, however, one 44 between us－Professor Crouch could not bear the 45 that I refused to read my poems to the class.
“Jim, poetry is 46 to be read aloud,” he said. “You should be able to speak those beautiful words.” I shook my head and turned away.
One day he 47 me. After handing in a poem, I waited for his 48 . It didn’t come. Instead, one day as the students gathered together, he 49 me, “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this poem.”
I stared at him in 50 . “Why,” I started, anger 51 me. “of course I did!” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it 52 memory.”
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there, 53 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way 54 !
Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me, and encouraged me to read other writers’ poetry before public. I discovered I did have a(n) 55 and found my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.
