My Occupational Identity
FriendsFriends are one of the largest parts of my life. My friends make up my occupational identity
because I spend time with them every single day and I wouldn't’t be who I am without their
influence and their support.
FLATI live with a flat of 4 girls and they are very important to me because I am very close with all of them and we
all have fun together. These are the people that are there through all the rough times.
Scuba DivingScuba diving is something that I am really passionate about and it makes up part of my identity because by
doing something so extreme it has made me more adventurous and carefree.
JobFor me it has always been important to have a job and to do
very well at it. I believe in hard work and being independent so having a job has been a part of my identity for a large portion
of my life.
Future occupation-Occupational TherapyIn the future I want to become an Occupational Therapist which means that study is part of my
identity at present so that I can reach my goal and change my future identity.
FamilyFamily is a large part of my life as they are
extremely supportive and are always encouraging me to be myself and strive at what I would like to do. They are a part of everything
that I do so make a large part of my identity
CraftDoing craft has been a part of my life since I was
very young and it something I do to relieve stress. I am involved in all kinds of craft and I am always
taking on new projects
GamesIn my spare time my friends and I participate in
many board games. It is something that we really enjoy doing as it is extremely social but it
also gets out our competitive sides
Adventure/SportMy family and I love to participate in things we are not used to at
unexpected times. In the past we have gone shooting, quad biking, caving, surfing, rock climbing and much more. These unexpected adventures have made me more challenged therefore I am more
interested in challenging myself
Looking after othersFrom a very early age I have loved looking after
others in any way that I possibly can. I am always interested in babysitting, I am currently a buddy for a young girl and I also enjoy looking after my
friends as much as I can
