By Claire Berthelsen

family
I have a close and
meaningful relationship
with my parents and
sisters. We have all grown
together through many
family adventures. They
have shaped the person
that I am today.

Farm work
Every year I travel to Tasmania to
visit my parents. I feel like this is
the place where my spirit lies. I
love the space and freedom, and
especially the rugged coastline
nereby. When I'm on the farm I
have so many memories, I also
realise the passion that I have for
the lifesyle and the animals, and
that many of my skills that make
up who I am today stem from my
childhood there.

When I surf I feel happy. Out in the water I am relaxed; I have fun playing around in the waves with friends
and sometimes dolphins and sea birds. surfing provides me with a feeling of meaning and peace.

My Best Friend
I spend most of my time with my partner.
And we tend to rub off on one another. He
has taught me to do many new things, we have
been on heaps of adventures, and I have
learnt to approach life withfrom a different
angle. He is so much a part of me that I feel
like part of me is missing when he is not
around.

I love going on missions! I feel
the need to push my
boundries, and have bonded
with so many friends in this
way. When I'm in the
outdoors, it is the only time
that I can say that I feel
spiritual. Nearly every day
nature takes my breath away.

I treasure my friends. They have helped me through difficult times, each in their own way. I would
not be where I am today without their fun, laughter, and kindness.

I have put a lot of my
strength and will into this
sport. When I run I feel
invigorated. I like to run on
off road tracks and run so far
and fast that I become fully
exhausted. My past as a
competetive runner has
influenced me in a way that I
will always love exercise.

The Ocean
My favourite place. The ocean is a
huge part of my life. I used to work
under the water as a scuba dive
instructor, and I'm an avid surfer
and sailor. I also read alot ocean-
related books and articles, and am
an active conservation advocate.

As a budding occupational therapist I
am learning new things every day.
What I am learning changes the way
that I see my self and the world
around me, and the way that I treat
others.

I love to cook, and I love to
eat! When I'm in the kitchen
I feel happy. Cooking is one
of my creative outlets.
