Celebrating Australia Day Since I was little I have been participating in the celebration of Australia day. This occupation allows me to express my identity of being a proud Australian. Occupations include: socialising, swimming at the beach, beach cricket, listening to music.
Images from (Rabro. 2009). Playing Vigaro Vigaro was a sport that both my nana and myself participated in. I played this sport for a number of years. This sport originated from Australia, so once again, by participating in the occupation my family were forming part of my identity of being Australian. Occupations include: training, socialising, attending games on the weekend, attending club meetings
Dancing I have been dancing since I was little. Both my sisters danced before me and so did my mother when she was younger. This has formed my identity as I have become very passionate about this occupation and will continue dancing for many years to come. Occupations include: dance practice/rehearsals, costume fittings, socialising, performances
Due to living in Australia I have been going to the beach to participate in many occupations throughout my life, these include: sunbathing, swimming, building sandcastles, skim boarding, beach cricket and surfing. The Beach
Sibling Over the years I have held great respect for my sisters and take pride in being the younger sibling. Even though I am the youngest, I am extremely protective. There is nothing I would not do for my sisters. Occupations I do for my sisters includes: baby sitting, driving them around, letter righting to stay in touch.
Supportive Partner My partner Daniel and I have been together for a number of years now. He has become a significant part of my identity. I have learnt to become a supportive partner towards him as he is in need of back surgery. Occupations I do for Daniel include: cooking, cleaning, driving him around, helping whenever needed.
Work at Specsavers I have been working at Specsavers for four years. It is apart of my routine and structure. It provides me with an income which I rely on enormously. I enjoy my work and think of my colleagues as close friends. While working I clean glasses, help customers choose glasses, pre- test, deliver glasses etc.
Friendship Friendship is an important aspect of my life and identity. Thats why socialising with them is an occupation I partake in often. I take pride in being a good friend and respect them immensely. Occupations with friends include: Attending social events (movies, lunch dates, night events), shopping, phone calls and facebook messaging to stay in touch with those in Australia.
Studying Occupational Therapy Studying occupational therapy has recently become an important occupation. An occupational therapist is what I wish to become, therefore studying occupational therapy is an essential aspect to my identity. These occupations include: study, fieldwork, attending classes, class meetings, assignments.
Image from (Siskin hospital for physical rehabilitation. n.d.). Qualified occupational therapist Becoming a qualified occupational therapist is an occupation which I am leading towards. This is a major part of my identity as many of my beliefs, values and desires are planed around becoming an occupational therapist. These occupations include: Meeting with clients, meetings with your team, assessments, interventi on planning, ensuring safety and independence whenever possible.
