Social Scientist

   I have chosen Archeology because Archaeologists find loads of cool stuff. I also would like to study how people in the past lived, died, what food they ate, their rituals and so much more that would give us a better understanding of our culture and rituals today.

   Another reason I like Archeology is because I love to travel around the world, meet all sorts of new people and experience different food around the world. It's almost like visiting many huge outdoor global museums.


   I prefer Archeology because I enjoy digging around in the dirt. I'm a type of girl who would rather be outdoors than sit and stare at my desk all day. I would love to be able to go and dig around somewhere and find skeleton bones which belonged to ancient humans or find precious jewelry that belonged to a famous queen like Cleopatra. As I love music I would really like to discover an old instrument used to make beautiful music. If I did find an old instrument I would be able to imagine how joyful the people were when they listened to the glorious music that was made.


   Being an Archaeologist would give me a chance to share all this knowledge with others so that they too will understand the great meaning of learning ancient cultures.

   I really like movies that glamorise archeology e.g. Indiana Jones, The Mummy and National Treasure. They wear some cool outfits, use great gadgets and they go on loads of adventures in the most fascinating and remote locations in countries like Egypt, Italy, France, Nepal, China, India and many more.

Introduction

  Hi, my name is Claire. I'm from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am 11 years old now. I go to Middle School at ISKL.


  The last three books I have read are Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyers, Get Rich Quick by Pat Flynn, and Bliss by Karen McCombie. I thought that they were all very interesting books.

  The last movie I watched was The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Some of my favourite things about it are the romance, the history about Merlin and the ring. I thought the some of the characters were quite scary.

  My academic goal for this year is to develop better grades. My social goal is to make more friends, and to not get lost in this new school.

 My favourite vacation memory is last year when I went to Whistler, Canada to ski with my cousin, Neil who is from America. I had a lot of fun there, the weather there was really cold, and the food there was terrific.

 5 adjectives to describe myself would be silly, careless, shy, friendly, and funny.
