Occupation: Sister

Being a sister is an important occupation in my life as they are a part of me belonging to my family. They encourage me and also take part in my many other occupations which adds to the motivation and satisfaction of my occupations.

Occupation: Friend

A friend is an important aspect of my life, they provide me with a sense of belonging to a group of people who I grew up with. They give advise on anything and also take part in may occupations with me.

Occupation: Running This occupation provides me with fitness and

wellbeing. Others encourage me to take part in this activity and motivate me which results in occupational satisfaction as I am able to see improvement in my fitness the more I take part. By running I am considering the “do” aspect of occupation because I am participating in this task.

Occupation: Sewing Sewing is an occupation that influences me to become more

like my grandparents who are both excellent sewers. I someday wish to peruse their talents and I continue to practise this in order to achieve that goal. I wish to identify myself as an excellent sewer one day.

Occupation: Cake decorator Much like sewing, cake decorating is helping me to become

as talented as what my mother used to be. Some people identify me as a cake decorator which gives me pride in my work and satisfaction in what I do.

have. I chose to cook meals as I enjoy trying new recipes and satisfying my friends and family with meals.

time job which I believe will help me when I eventuate to graduating and working full time with people. It provides me with people and problem solving skills.

a bachelors degree in occupational therapy. I will eventually become and belong part of a team that have the same goal of helping people.

netball taught me the basics of following rules, team work and co ordination. It also introduced me to many people and I made many friends playing this sport.
