Erin O'Connor
English Model
At school I was very shy and coincidentally inherited the title 'little miss worry guts,' and that was just among the staff. I learned early on that I could make people laugh, and as my small neat body betrayed me by growing to dizzying heights, I used it as a tool that translated into complete slap-stick comedy.

This is one of the more realistic ways to use coincidence because rarely do we realize how important a coincidental event is until after the fact.
