<P>I work on an <FONT color=#dc143c>assembly line</FONT> in a car factory. Most days, I just <FONT color=#dc143c>assemble</FONT> car parts. Occasionally, they’ll ask me to <FONT color=#dc143c>assay</FONT> an unknown drug substance. Once in a while, I’ll be asked to <FONT color=#dc143c>assist</FONT> with breaking up a fight. <FONT color=#dc143c>Assault</FONT> is not common here. But now and then, a frustrated worker will <FONT color=#dc143c>assail</FONT> his <FONT color=#dc143c>assistant</FONT> by casting <FONT color=#dc143c>aspersions</FONT> on some <FONT color=#dc143c>aspect</FONT> of the other’s work. I’m considered an <FONT color=#dc143c>asset</FONT> in my company. But 20 years ago, I was a different kind of asset to an entirely different type of company.</P>
<P>They called it “the company” but it was really a secret government group trained to <FONT color=#dc143c>assassinate</FONT> political leaders. I never <FONT color=#dc143c>aspired</FONT> to be an <FONT color=#dc143c>assassin</FONT>. In fact, I was an <FONT color=#dc143c>aspiring</FONT> chemist and a regular soldier in the army. All I really wanted was to do something great or important for my country. But sometimes, having too great an <FONT color=#dc143c>aspiration</FONT> can lead you astray.</P>
<P>I still recall the day of the <FONT color=#dc143c>assembly</FONT>. It was a small gathering of highly skilled people like me. “The company” was <FONT color=#dc143c>assessing</FONT> our abilities in the areas of weaponry and chemistry. I was a top chemist and a natural marksman, probably the best in my group. They <FONT color=#dc143c>ascribed</FONT> my success to my steady hands and sharp eyes, the same tools I used for chemistry.</P>
<P>After the <FONT color=#dc143c>assembly</FONT>, they gave us our <FONT color=#dc143c>assignments</FONT>. I was assigned to <FONT color=#dc143c>assimilate</FONT> into the mainstream society of a Latin American country. It wasn’t long before I was doing things that I will forever be ashamed to admit.</P>
<P>It’s been over for about 15 years. But I’ll never feel clean and I’ll never be able to <FONT color=#dc143c>assert</FONT> that I have been a good man all my life.</P>
