Money You Dident Know You Had

When you are a little kid money seems like it is worth so much more than it is when you are older because the things you want are so much smaller. I remember when I was little I found five dollars in a chain link fence one time and it made me the happiest person in the world. The best part about being young is when you get anything it makes you happy and money makes kids happiest of all things. I spent the money I found in the fence on Lego because it was my favorite toy. I think that when someone loses money it makes them sad but the person who finds it is even happier than the person who lost it. Finding money is great but I think it is more about the luck that it represents and in my case I feel that I have been very lucky in my life. Whenever I enter any sort of contest it seems that I win more often than not. It is weird that things like finding money or wining a draw are biased around luck and some kind of fate or higher power because when you find something it can have a profound effect on you.

Hello my name is Simon Smith and I have been at Calgary Academy for 4 years. I am interested in sport and outdoor activities such as golf, hokey, skiing, soccer, basketball, volleyball and hiking.  I play for many of the Calgary Academy teams and I have played on them since grade 7. In my spare time I like to read and spend time at my cabin. I started working at superstore during the summer and I am hoping that my schedule allows me to continue working there. I have an older sister who just started university at Mt royal and she is studying to be a teacher. I enjoy school because Calgary Academy is a fun environment and the teachers are great. This year the big things I am looking forward to are the more advanced curriculum and interesting subject matter as well as the sports and trips. Before I went to Calgary Academy I went to wildwood elementary and I feel that it is important that people are aware that the learning experience at Calgary Academy is so great. I also enjoy traveling and have been to 13 countries in 3 continents. Some of my favorites were Costa Rica, Peru, Dominica and some of the other Caribbean islands I have been to. The next places I hope to visit are Africa, The Galapagos Islands and the north of Canada.  When I finish high school I am hoping to go to university and study engineering or sciences relating to life or space. I am looking forward to this year and all the cool things we will get to do.
