...All day long you'll have good luck? Well for me, not so much. I was so excited yesterday morning when I was going down the stairs and saw a penny, faced heads up. As a person of 17 years and 5 months, I have never found a penny heads up. So naturally I had to trip the person I was walking with to pick that penny up. I was so excited for my day of good luck. Boy, was I wrong.
After picking the penny up I froze my but off walking to the elementary school for my mentoring program and almost got hit by a UPS truck. (To all those who have heard this story, I totally forgot this instance of bad luck until now.) As I do every Wednesday, I went skiing with my HS ski club. As I went to pull out my ski pants from my bag and found that my little brother had dumped curry powder in my ski bag. It did smell delicious, but it also stained my shirt. I have been skiing for a really long time and usually I do not fall very much. Last night I had my ego crushed by going over a small jump that I can usually handle. On top of this my ski pole ended up hitting my cheek bone. Luckily, no bruise. As I was changing after skiing, I pulled my under armor over my head and yanked out both my hoop earrings, ouch. No blood involved, but it was still bad luck. This morning I went in my back pack to get my stuff out and TWO of my pens had exploded. There wasn't any mess, but I was down two pens. On top of that, I forgot my calculator for my calculus class and suffered with out it.
Well here is my account of NOT having good luck when finding a penny. As I was thinking about my 24 hours of "good luck" I decided that it isn't up to a penny or a good luck charm or a four leaf clover to make a persons luck good. It is up to the person to make their own luck.
