What social scientist am I?

What social scientist am I? Could I be a Archeologist? Could I be a Historian?
All these jobs are great, but honestly, my favorite choice would be a Geographer......Why? Read on to find out.....

Definition of a Social Scientist:
A scientist that studies different aspects of the world.

Definition of a Geographer:
A Geographer studies the earths climate, wildlife, etc.  
Why do I want to be a Geographer?
I want to be a Geographer for 3 reasons:

- I'll be able to explore the world in many perspectives, and observe its habitat and surroundings. 

- I'll be able to be "up close and personal" with animals and wildlife. 

-  I can study the earths climate and temperature and how it changes

Being a Geographer is amazing, you can travel around the world , recording your travels as you go, learn about different cultures and discover new ways of life, plus you get paid for it! But its not as easy as it sounds, in fact being a geographer is hard work, especially considering the fact that you'll have to travel all day and night, *yawn*. But hey don't drift of their, theirs many ways to put your boredom out of the way when you're a geographer and its better then being a scientist that studies animal feces all day, but what are the good (or fun) things to do as a geographer? read on if you dare.....



Being a geographer allows you to study the earths climate and weather, imagine seeing a live tornado only a few feet way, sounds cool doesn't it? Well geographers are specially trained for this kind of situation, and it actually is really dangerous to study a tornado a few feet away (especially when its heading towards you), and it kills to be near one but its pretty cool, so its kinda good idea to take the chance of actually seeing a tornado, its a rare opportunity but you might achieve something from it.

You can also study the earths environment (pronounced en-vy-er-ment), which means studying rainforests or seas or oceans, geographers do this by recording any rising temperatures in the seas depths, or maybe observing the animals habitat, e.g an animals habitat includes rainforests, rivers, etc. 





In conclusion, I would like to be a geographer because their will be a good chance of discovering new and exciting ways to live life, and because you and I can conquer new challenges that we eventually will face throughout our lives.

What are my last 3 books that I have read?
So far, I can't really remember the last 3 books that I have read, But my favourite 3 that that I can remember reading was the 3 books in the "Alex rider" series ( Their are actually 8 books in the series but i'm actually just listing out my favorite ones ), The series was created by the author, Anthony Horowitz and he also created The diamond brothers, and the power of five series as well. The First book that i've read from the alex rider series was called stormbreaker, it had lots of action packed situtations that all made sense in the end and seemed possible to happen. The second book, in the series that i've read was called, point blanc, it was really suspenseful and had lots of ballistic action sequences that were enjoyable to read. The 3rd one, was called skeleton key which was more strategic then action packed but was still really enjoyable and fun to read. 

What is the last movie that i've seen?
The last movie I watched was called sherlock holmes. It was a fiction movie representing sherlock holmes, and he was Londons best detective. The movie had an outstanding plot, considering the fact that they made sherlock holmes a sort of humourous person. It was also action packed and had a really good dialogue. I also liked how sherlock holmes always thought out his plans in a very strategic way, especially when he's fighting someone. In conclusion, I liked the movie because it was funny, thoughtful, had really good dialogue,was strategic and had a truly outstanding and extraordinary plot.

What is my favourite vacation memory?
My favourite vacation memory was when I went to the water park in Bali. The waterpark in Bali was called "waterbom" I remember that their was a gigantic water slide they have their called smash down, when you slide down, you don't even touch the slide, you're basicly soaring through the air when you slide down it, but the downside about it, is that when you land back on the slide you sort of whack your head on the slide, which made me sore, but it was still fun. 

5 adjectives I would use to describe myself: 
- Funny 
- Confident 
- Active 
- Competitive 
- Curious
