What does AT mean?

At is a very common word in English which usually has something to do with a destination or to be on the brink of. Examples: I'm at Broadway and Third Street. He is at the point of discovery. This destination can be a physical as well as an abstract place.

Thank you; but for the original meaning of the sentence, does it mean

-I will do this thing when the chance presents itself to me?

Yes, that is what it means. When the opportunity presents itself--at that moment.
