Second, luck also played a role when it accompanied Rameck, which saved him after getting in trouble. One time Rameck did a prank on his biology teacher, but the offended teacher saved him in the end and kept him from being kicked out from school. This event was extremely lucky because this offended teacher unexpectedly exculpated Rameck. Accord to THE PACT, “Rameck never knew what changed her mind.

Another example of luck’s impact on Rameck’s life was the time he avoided an unfair judgement because the police lost the evidence.

    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. The beginner’s luck I’ve had in my life has been slim, and I find that I have always had to work very hard to become better at things, regardless of the fact that the universe was supposedly trying to help me, though I do know that I have always been good at reading. I remember figuring out how to read before the time I was three, first beginning with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, then moving on to the entirety of the Harry Potter Series. 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.
