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
3. 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
4. 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
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Friendship
Friendship is an important aspect of my life and identity. That’s 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.
9. 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.
