Which social scientist?

Which social scientist would I like to be? Well, between an archaeologist, historian, and geographer, I would choose an.......ARCHAEOLOGIST! You would probably want to know why I chose an archaeologist. Read on and find out in the next few paragraphs.


There are three reasons of why I chose an archaeologist. The first reason is that when I was very little, I went to the beach very often, mostly on the weekends. Each time I went there, I would bring a medium - sized jar with me. This jar is for putting interesting objects such as old objects, shells, half burnt paper or wood, and many others. When I got home, I would list all the objects I could collect, and examine most of them. After that, I would pick out my favorite ones, and separate them in another jar. On Mondays, my class always had a session where you can tell the class what you did during the weekends, or whatever you want to share with the class. That is when I take the chance to present my 'interesing facts' that I found through he weekends. Even until now, I still like to collect shells and 'old' objects. Plus, now I still have all the things I collected when I was 4 years old, at the beach.

The second reason is that I like to know what people do daily, especially in the olden days. I like to learn about ancient objects and places. Studying about people's lives entertains me most of the time, and that is why biographies are the best kind of non - fiction books for me. I like animals, because not only that like to study about people's lives, but also animal's lives as well!!


The third reason is that I like to travel and tour all over the places, and I like to dig about everywhere. At the beach, I like to dig very deep into the sand until it gets abit wet. When I was about 4 - 5 years old, these are the things I liked to do. At school, I like to bury toys, and then one week later I come and see if it is still there or not. At home I hide things from my brother, and then see if he could find it. I do all these funny and silly things, but now I'm not really into them. I'm now more of a reader and collecter.


Maybe some day, I'll be known as Tem the Archaeologist! Let's wait and see.

Who's Tem? Get to know her here!

Hello, my name is Tem, and this is my blog. I have got another name, but people usually call me Tem. I come from Thailand. My parents are both from Thailand, my grandparents on my mother's side are both from Thailand, but my grandparents on my father's side are from China, and they migrated to Thailand. That makes me a little bit Chinese as well.


I learn music, because it was my brother who started it. He first learned the piano, and later on I was interested in it. Then, a few years later, he started the violin as well, and then same thing happened  to me. I used to learn swimming because my parents wanted me to be a good and proper swimmer. I like some sort of dances, such as Thai dances, I like to sing (but not alot), listen and play music, knit and sew, because my mom likes to do it so I got it from my mom. All of the things I mentioned just now, was counted as art(apart from swimming). So you can summarize that I really like art / crafts work.


I guess my favorite color is purple, because I don't really have one. My  favorite food....hmm...well, I like sausages and sticky rice, those are the main ones. I also like omelettes and pork, which depends on how it is cooked.


Some people say that I'm shy because normally I'm quiet outside house. Some people say that I'm slow because I used to like to work at my own pace (but I can't work at my own pace in middle school though.) Some of my relatives say that I'm half funny and crazy because one second I could be so hyper and then another I could be calm and quiet.


One of my academic goals is that I would try to get a good grade in most of my subjects. A social goal is that I would make a larger group of friends. Another fact about me is that I have an elder brother named Tong, who is now in grade 8.
