30 photos of people who caught luck by the tail (31 photos)
Sometimes life seems unbearable. Traffic lights turn red as you approach, calls bring bad news, and your favorite childhood team loses. But suddenly that same song starts playing on the radio, the waiter treats you to a free pastry with your coffee, and on the way home you meet someone who makes you laugh until you cry. At that moment, all your problems seem trivial. Fate, chance, or luck - whatever you call it, but one day you will definitely get lucky.

5. From Homeless (26) to Surgical Assistant (40)
I spent years wandering the streets, eating scraps. My only goal was to find a bench to sleep on. I couldn’t get a job, despite all my efforts. My lack of skills and family (I grew up in a waiting room) only made things worse. One day, I came across a college that was having an open day. I thought it was a great chance to take advantage of the facilities. Little did I know, the Universe had something special in store for me. A psychologist approached me at the door. He asked if I was coming to the open day. I lied and ended up joining him as he was telling me about the countless opportunities. I was particularly interested in the surgical technology program. I decided to give it a try.
I ended up finding my calling. I studied for 18 months, and then did an internship for another 4 months. I was homeless the entire time. After graduation, I was offered a permanent job at the same hospital where I did my internship. After four years, I had enough experience to pass the CSFA exam. Since then, I have been working as a surgical assistant. Every day I remember how lucky everything was.
