I have had an interest in archaeology for some years which has stemmed from reading about topics such as Troy and ancient Rome. I have always found it very intriguing how the discoveries of sites and artefacts from places like these have raised awareness about the importance and value of archaeology and I am fascinated by how archaic cultures, findings and inventions have influenced our modern lives.
I have been interested in the discovery of ancient cultures and how we learn about them since I studied Greek and Roman mythology in primary school and subsequently bought a book of Greek myths. I was happy to learn that I would be able to study Classics at college and I find that this gives me an insight into the culture through reading Homer's Odyssey and Iliad, and several Greek plays, including Aristophanes' Wasps and Euripides' Medea.
Another aspect of archaeology I enjoy is the medieval period, and this has led me to visit several sites which not only include medieval history but date back hundreds of years before,including Bamburgh and Alnwick Castles in Northumbria.
To learn more about how archaeology can completely change our perception of history, I decided to do an EPQ about the significance of the Coppergate dig in York and how it altered our opinions of Viking life. For my research I visited the Jorvik museum and have collected information in different forms as well as finding photographs from York Archaeological Trust from the time of the dig. I chose to study this because Jorvik is a big part of York's history, the Coppergate dig along with it, and I was fascinated by the idea that one simple excavation could alter so many previous assumptions about the Viking way of life.
I also have an interest in the archaeology of Ancient Egypt, as there is much more to uncover about this other great culture than we have already found, especially as new truths about Egypt are always being discovered, such as how the pyramids were built and how the Egyptians buried their dead. This topic is something that I would love to know more about through reading or documentaries.
I have improved my essay writing skills and learned how to analyse specific points with accuracy by studying English Language while I have combined these with a more creative element through Film Studies.
I was able to study a different culture and language through modern topics by learning AS Spanish and this gave me an appreciation of other cultures as well as knowledge of another language.
I have held a part time job for just over a year now at a shoe shop, and I feel like the sort of tasks and issues I am faced with has helped me to become more confident and responsible. I have been to Lourdes twice on pilgrimage, once with the charity HCPT and once with Leeds Diocese. I found that both these experiences broadened my horizons and helped me to appreciate the difficulties that people can face.
In my spare time I am an avid reader and I enjoy historical fiction and fantasy. I also enjoy non-fiction and I am a big fan of the factual website Listverse. I also write fiction and am a member of a creative writing website. I took part in a six-week kayaking course which I thoroughly enjoyed and would be interested in pursuing further. I have been skiing twice with my high school and obtained my bronze and silver awards.
By studying this course I will be able to expand my knowledge of ancient cultures and their history and learn how they worked. I will also be able to develop my skills in analysis and critical thinking which will put me in a good position for employment, having flexible skills and the ability to apply them to different situations. My goal is to learn more about discoveries of ancient cultures and even play a part in unearthing these.
