COMPONENT ONE: PRACTICAL TASK

DaughterI view being a daughter as an important part of my occupational identity. As they have contributed to who I am today. Helped me do, be and become.

Being a sisterThis is an important part of my occupational identity. My brothers and I have been involved with several occupations together over the years and have contributed to who I am today they have let me do, be and become with their support.

Friends

My friends are an important part of my identity, as I spend most of my time with them. I have friends all over the world who I keep in contact with and who I view as important because if I did not have them I would not be who I am at the moment. We engage in multiple occupations such as socializing, partying, movies and study.

Flat mate

I have the role of being a flat mate there are routines of being a flat mate which are important such as cooking and cleaning. An opportunity to be independent.

Travel

I consider the occupation of travel contributes to my occupational identity, as it let me gain experiences in lots of different occupations and make new friends around the world.

Waimakariri River

I consider this location as being a part of my occupational identity since in my past this is where a lot of occupations would take place for example: family picnics, locals meeting to go for swims, building sand castles, mud fights and parties this is a social place. This place has made me more adventurous.

Soccer

I view soccer as a big part of my occupational identity as it is an occupation I have been involved with throughout my life if I was not performing it, I was watching my three brothers involvement in the occupation or watching it on the television. This is important as it is a link between myself and my family.

Movies

I see my occupational engagement with watching movies a element of my occupational identity as I engage in this as a relaxation method and I count this as one of my leisure activities.
