Social Scientists

Pompeii
If I had to choose from three jobs (Archaeologist, Geographer or Historian), I would pick Archaeologist because I think that it would be interesting to dig things up that no one has seen or used for maybe over 20,000 years. I am interested in the past of the planet we live on because there are still a lot of things that we can learn about the prehistoric age. I would love to dig up some vases, coins, bones, clothing, etc. Archaeologists dig things up to study the past and to help Historians study the history of the planet and its living beings. Not only do they dig things up, but they search for old cities and towns. They study how the people lived in these ancient places, why they left and maybe why they died there.

Introduction

     My name is Pavel  Andreev. People usually call me Pasha because its the shorter version in Russian.  Many people are amazed at where I come from because I am basically the only one from Russia in school.

     I like to watch hockey and basketball, strangely enough though I don't like to play hockey. Yeah so I  like to play soccer and basketball, I love swimming as well. I don't have a favorite book because there are to many books, but my favorites are "Fortress by the Sea", "Indian in the Cupboard", "Street Child" and "The Three Musketeers". I like video games like Tony Hawk's Project Eight. I love my family and my country but of course almost everyone loves these.

    I would like to share a couple of adjectives about myself: I am optimistic  because whenever there is something bad going on in the classroom I always find the bright side of it. I am funny because I always make jokes out of things. I am hard working because I give my best shot at everything I trie it just doesn't look like it.

    I have a very simple goal for the year, try hard and get far! I hope that every student has a great year cause I know i will! =)
