Well, I think everybody should apologize if they made a mistake and apologizing is not something bad. It’s even something better, even something good, because by apologizing we can get rid of the misunderstanding between us. The last time when the person apologizes to me was actually two years ago. It was an exam day and I said to my group mates that it won’t be very hard to complete this exam. I shared with them the materials which I had. A friend of mine, his name is Heida Law, he’s actually my neighbor, he started to provide them. He started to do misinformation between our group because of his reputation. A lot of students in my group trust him more than me and he started to give them the wrong materials to prepare for that day. Because of this, everybody in our group failed the test and after it he came to my cell. He came to me to say that he was wrong and he wanted to apologize for what happened because that action made me feel a bit bad about him. After it he apologized to me, he bought some chocolate and he said that he’s a very sorry for what happened. When he accepted his mistake I said, don’t worry, everybody makes a mistake.

Well, I think everybody should apologize if they made a mistake, and apologizing is not something bad. It's even something better, something good, because by apologizing we can get rid of the misunderstandings between us. The last time a person apologized to me was actually two years ago. It was an exam day, and I told my group mates that it wouldn't be very hard to complete this exam. I shared with them the materials I had. A friend of mine, his name is Heida Law, he's actually my neighbor, started to provide misinformation within our group because of his reputation. A lot of students in my group trusted him more than me, and he began to give them the wrong materials to prepare for that day. Because of this, everybody in our group failed the test. Afterward, he came to me to say that he was wrong and wanted to apologize for what happened because that action made me feel a bit bad about him. After he apologized, he bought some chocolate and said that he was very sorry for what happened. When he accepted his mistake, I said, 'Don't worry, everybody makes mistakes.'
