2. Road CYCLIng
Road cycling is a big part
of my occupational
identity. I biked ever since
I was young with my
family, however I got into
cycling seriously when I
was 13 and started racing
competitively. I see road
cycling as a very important
occupation in my life as I
love sport and keeping fit
and healthy.

3. Camping
Camping is very important to
my occupational identity. I have
going camping at Totaranui the
past thirteen years, with my
family and family friends. It is a
tradition that we do every year
and has significant meaning to it
as it holds many good memories.

4. BAKING
Baking is an important
occupation to me. I have
always grown up surrounded
by my Mum’s cooking, and I
have learnt from her how to
cook. This is important in the
aspect of ‘doing’ as I really
enjoy the process of baking
and cooking, and the prep that
goes into making the food.

5. SKIING
Skiing is an important
occupation to me, as I have
been skiing ever since I was
young with my family and
belong to the club at
Cragieburn Ski Field. This
comes under the concepts of
‘doing’ and ‘belonging’.

6. TRAVELING
Traveling is a significant
occupation to me. My family
and I go on many holidays
around New Zealand and
Australia every year and have
also travelled to Europe when I
was younger. I hope to travel a
lot more of the world in the next
few years and this would come
under ‘becoming’, as it would
be part of my identity and who I
am.

7. RUNNING
Running is a significant
occupation to me as I really
enjoy staying fit and
healthy. I enjoy the ‘doing’
aspect of it. I am also going
to run a half marathon this
year, so this would come
under the concept of
‘becoming.’

8. FAMILY
Family are very important
to me and the role of
being a daughter, sister,
and granddaughter are all
very important roles to
me which come under the
aspect of ‘being.’

9. YOGA
Yoga is an important
occupation to me as I am
really into exercise and I also
find it very relaxing and
rewarding. I enjoy being part
of a class and ‘belonging’ to
something, as it is a chance to
met new people and learn
new skills.

10. OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
I am currently a second year
occupational therapy student,
aiming to be a registered
occupational therapist. This is
an occupation that will lead me
to my recognised identity,
which comes under the concept
of ‘becoming’.
