Sarah M's occupational identity

GraduationI graduated with a diploma in sport and recreation. My next goal is to graduate with a degree in Occupational Therapy and become a qualified occupational therapist.

Adventure SportI enjoy the adrenaline rush you get from adventure sports, it pushes you out of your comfort zone. It is the ‘doing’ of the occupation that is the most enjoyable.

TravellingTravelling is a great way to see how the rest of the world lives and makes you appreciate what you have. Helps you find out about yourself and your ‘being’.

Supporter

I enjoy watching sports. I support Manchester United for soccer – this is me at their stadium. I also support the chiefs (waikato) for rugby. This contributes to my occupational identity.

Camp AmericaCamp America happens for children in America during their summer break. Being a leader brings great responsibility and so does trying to make the children’s summer enjoyable. You make lots of new friends from other countries.

Family

I am a sister, daughter , niece and granddaughter. I have a big role to play in my family which contributes to who I am.

Friends

Socialising is a big part of my life as being a friend and having friends contributes to who I am. I enjoy participating in occupations with others. This is my friends and I dressed up in theme for a birthday.

Cars

I got my first car when I was 17. Since then I have had about 10 cars. I got taught to change the oil and filter and help fix many of my cars. Having a car helps me get to all the other occupations I participate in.

Cooking & Eating

Cooking and eating can be easily be turned into social occasion which is enjoyable as you get to share with loved ones.

Playing Sport

I enjoy playing sport, in particular soccer and indoor netball. I belong to a team and a club. I have been playing soccer since a young age, I feel it plays a big role in who I am.
