SCARFIE

This big step of moving out of home and becoming a scarfie has taught me how to be independent

and has put me in many different life situations. It has helped to define my life through the choices I

have made and amazing people I have met on the way.

Occupational therapy is the

current goal I am

working towards at Otago

Polytechnic.

This is my future and what

I see myself doing. It provides

me with the sense of enabling

others to participate in the

occupations in their life that

they find meaningful. This

consumes a lot of my time

as I study very hard to

accomplish this goal. I love

to help others and seeing

them succeed

and cash handling skills. It allows me to contribute to society and help a business run. I have met some

truly amazing people working here; both colleagues and customers. This job is important to be as it

independent. It helps contribute to my occupational identity as it provides me with future skills and

a work ethic I can take into my future.

FootballFootball has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. It introduced my into my love

of sports and health. I have represented Otago for my age group several years in a row. It has

made me realize the responsibility you need to have with being in a team and my team work

abilities I have now. Every Saturday morning revolved around football. The dedication it took to get

up in the frosty mornings and play in the freezing cold. It brought a lot of satisfaction to my life and has

shaped my passion for physical exercise.
