Reflexion
Maybe it has no bearing on your daily life, but I think everything is a fluke! When I felt discourage, when I wanted to flunk out of everything, I decided to withstand the feeling of no-understanding and suddenly something happened. When I was walking down the street I meet somebody who resembled my old English teacher. Since then, I pulled everything off.

Maybe it has no bearing on your daily life, but I think everything is a fluke! When I felt discouraged, when I wanted to flunk out of everything, I decided to withstand resist the feeling of not understanding and suddenly something happened. When I was walking down the street I met somebody who resembled my old English teacher. Since then, I have pulled everything off.Notes:
A 'fluke' isn't exactly the same thing as 'chance'. A 'fluke' is quite specific – it means a situation where I attempt to do something very difficult and succeed and someone says "oh that was just a fluke' - this means that it was just good luck, a matter of chance and not skill that I managed to do that thing. Or if I'm modest I might say "or it was just a fluke' - i.e. I had good luck, I am dismissing my achievement.
"I have pulled everything off" sounds a bit strange. "to pull something off" I would use only to refer to a concrete thing. E.g "I really pulled that exam off".
