2. Currently I am second year part time Occupational Therapy student, this
is apart of my occupational identity, as Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays are days that I spend studying in class, at the library and at
home. Shoreline Physical Therapy (2010) [image].

3. I started working for Radius Medical Centre in 2010, as a receptionist.
Since starting to studying Occupational Therapist, I changed my role
from full time work to part time. This is apart of my occupational
identity, as I work every Sunday and Monday, from 8am to 4pm. This
helps provide an income while studying. [Untitled photograph of

4. For special occasions I like to make cupcakes or cakes. This creates my
identity as to me is a skill that I have learnt and can make these as gifts and
treats for other people.

5. I am now an expectant mother, this creates my occupational identity as
my role will change to looking after another person, I will now have more
responsibilities and all my decisions I make will be made around my
baby.

6. Travel is apart of Occupational Identity, as I have been to many different
countries, when I did a tour with my grandmother

7. On the 26th of January 2013, I watched my beautiful little sister come
into the world. For the last 22 years I have been an only child, and now
my occupational identity has changed to being an older sister, as I now
engage in different occupations, that involve her. Such as, feeding
her, bathing, putting her to sleep and playing with her.

8. Before, finding out that I am pregnant I played social netball on Saturdays.
This also took a lot of time as trainings were twice a week, and then for
Saturdays we would do a warm up, play for 40 minutes, then a cool down.
This was a part of my identity as I like to keep physically fit and engage in
sports [Untitled photograph of netball]. (n.d.).

9. Recently, I have started to learn knitting, this was discussed in an
Occupational Science tutorial about a learnt occupation. I considered
knitting as it is something I have always wanted engage in. This is now
apart of my identity as I spend 2 hours a night on this occupation.

10. In the holidays, me and my aunty plan different parties for numerous
people. This is a baby shower that we planned for a family friend. This is a
part of my occupation as other people know about the parties we do on a
budget, and ask us to help create their special day.
