A Daughter, Sister and Family Member!!!

A ROWER!!

This is the Otago University rowing team. I am part of this club during the winter months from late February to October. I have meet some amazing people and been able to do some amazing things and travel the world. Over the years rowing has become part of my occupational identity and I have developed a great since of belonging.

A member of the Avon rowing club. Joining three years ago I am now a senior at the club. I am part of this club during the summer months from October to February.

A Traveller!!

Through rowing I have the opportunity to travel to both China and Seattle. These trips have given me a little taste of what and where I would like to go in the future.

Physical Education Student at Otago University!!!

As a student this is a process of becoming and being. By the end of my degree I hope to achieve a Bachelor of physical education majoring in prescription.

An Occupational Therapy Student!!! This will hopefully lead towards a recognised identity as a qualified Occupational Therapists!!!.

A Flatmate!! While studying I have lived in three flats!! This is leading to a recognised identity of being independent adult.

A multisport Athlete!! This not currently an identity I associate myself with but my future goal and dream is to one day compete in this race. There are many steps and challenges I must go through before achieving this recognised identity and having a sense of being within it.

A Kayaker!! In my goal to achieve the coast to coast I must first learn to Kayak. This a part of the process of becoming a multi sport athlete.

A RUNNER!!!

Occupational identity that once identified with will help in becoming a

multisport athlete
