1. Student:
Being a student is part of my identity because it is one of my roles that I participate in daily and
it is a role that I have been in for a number of years. This includes studying and socialising with
class mates.

2. Fitness:
Fitness is part of my ‘do’ concept as it is important to me because doing exercise is a
way that I can balance out my busy student life and it is also a way of keeping fit.

3. Brother:
‘Being’ a brother is an important occupation to me and is apart of my occupational identity,
because I have to be a role model to my younger brother. This means that I have a lot of
responsibility showing him right from wrong.

4. Occupational therapy identity:
This is important to me because this gives me a sense of ‘becoming’. I hope to become a
professional occupational therapist after my studies, where it will enable me to help
people in their recovery.

This was an occupation that was important to me when I was younger as I used to
