Finding money you didn't know you had is one of the best feelings in the world. It's like an unexpected gift that just makes your day. I have had many experiences in my life where I found money out of nowhere. For example I always find money when I'm cleaning my room, usually its hidden in my bookshelf or in my dresser draws. One time I found 100 bucks while cleaning my room which was obviously awesome because I was going to the mall with friends that day. Like most people I also always find money I forgot about in my winter coat. In junior high I was running to catch the bus one day so I grabbed the first jacket I could find, my friend was coming over to my house that after noon so as we were walking home I put my hands in my pockets and found 20 bucks. I was super excited becuase it was hot that afternoon and my friend and I could buy slurpees.Another time my sister and I were at Dairy Queen and she asked me to hold on to her change for her because she had no pockets,I forgot about it and years later I found it when she asked to borrow money from me. I thought was funny because she was actually using her own money. I also frequently find money in purses I haven't used in a while, I found 5 gift cards and some coupons once when I was cleaning out my purses.  Finding money is awesome especially if you didn't know it was there. These little surprises can make your day and put a smile on your face.

My name is Shae Solinger and the main thing you need to know about me is that I love to sing and that choir is my life. I sing in the Cantare Childrens Choir which is one of the best choirs in Calgary. We get invited to many places each year like events for the mayor and organizations like Child Find. Being in this choir has also provided me with many amazing opportunities. Our choir has gotten many chances to sing with the CPO, for example I have sung the Lord of the Rings Symphony once, St Matthews Passion once, and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony 4 times . This year we get to premiere a piece called the Afghanistan Requiem which is about the war in Afghanistan. This piece has been specially written for our choir and I'm very excited to sing it. But probably the most exciting experience I have had while being in the choir is singing for Queen Elizabeth II at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, that was truely a once in a life time opportunity. I am also known as an animal lover. I have always liked animals and someday I hope to work with panda's or other exotic animals. I loved swimming with seas turtles in the Caribbean and someday I hope to swim with dolphins. One of my favourite memories is going to Harry Potter World and Disney World in Florida, the rides were awesome and the Harry Potter ride was probably the best ride there.  Choir is pretty much my life and when I have the time I get to do other amazing things too.
