Though, there are many defining moments in my life that have shaped the person I have become. One good example would be my deciding to switch schools at the end of sixth grade, thus expanding the range of people I knew, as well as severely altering my outlook on my hometown.

I’m not sure if this fully would count as “luck” perse, though I am very grateful to have learned how to read at the time I did.
