Autobiography
I remember when I went to Italy in July 1998; I was thirteen years of age. The opportunity to go to Italy was the highlight of the year as it not only meant seeing all my family again but also I could see my favourite attraction, the Abruzzi beach. I loved the beach, since I was small I always used roll around in the sand, climb the rocks, and splash the water on my parents. We always go for about a month, although a couple of times we stayed there for two and a half to three months. This time we went to my mothers side of the family, this is located in the middle of Italy on the Adriatic coast and is in the region of Abruzzi. We take it in turns each year to visit either my father’s side, up north, Genoa or my mother’s side. It was the second week into our visit, my brother Davide and I, decided to purchase a raft. Come to think of it, my brother decided, I just went along with the idea. As he was three years older than me he made most of the decisions. It seated four persons and came with two oars free. Excited was the word, we stayed up to half two in the morning blowing the raft up and preparing what we were going to wear, even sun tan lotion was thought of, we meant business
As far back as I can remember I have, always wanted to be an archaeologist, specialising in Egyptology. I was about seven years old when I decided after watching Indiana Jones on the television; it was the career for me. I started to research on my home, reading books, asking questions and watching documentaries, which inspired me even more. As I am now an adult, I still wish to carry on with not only my target but also my dream aswell of becoming an Egyptologist. I have been on excavations and also talked to a lot of professionals who have given me advice and help. I have studied, History, Geology and archaeology at AS level. I am currently studying, I.C.T, Film Studies and history at a different college to where I have spent my previous two years. I plan to start an History Degree next year at university. Every person who I meet and finds out about what I want to do is shocked as it is unusual but they always find it interesting. They are pleased that at my age I know what I want to do and always encourage me to stick at it. Jokes were made that my brother and me tried to escape to Prizo, an Island near by from where we were rescued and about the saftey rope. Until this day I thank everyone who helped in our rescue, especially God, who never left us. I will never forget the look on my family’s face when we arrived back to shore. To think that my parents only two children could have been gone forever. This helped me to look at things in a different prospective. The thought’s that was going through people’s minds, amazing. After all one of the main tings about being Italian is that it’s all about family. Driving is also a hobby, especially at night as the atmosphere exhilarates me with the lights reflecting from all over. I also enjoy being in the passenger seat as long as the music is up.
