The dilemma of Social Science.

The end of a path and the beginning of another.

After 2 years of studying Social Science at Montmorency College, I was finally able to choose a field of study in university. During my years in Social Science, I discovered that I was very interested in Political Science and History. I also really want to follow the path of my mother and become a teacher. Now I have a choice to make between studying Political Science or history at University.

Choice 1 : Studying Political Science.

Choice 2 : Studying History.

Studying Political Science.

I have chosen my program but I have another choice to make. UQAM and the Université de Montréal both offers that program but I heard that people at UQAM are all junkies. I also heard that people at Université de Montréal makes bad teacher when they finish their studies.

Choice 1 : Going to UQAM.

Choice 2 : Going to Université de Montréal

Going to UQAM.

The first days, I was very excited and very happy of my choice. But after a few days, a teacher in on of my courses try starts to act weird with me. Every time he cross my way, he fixes me and one day, he just grab my butt and started to act like it was an accident by saying "oops" with a big smile on his face. Now, I am beginning to think that I should do something about it.

Choice 1 : Report him.

Choice 2 : Arrange a meeting with the teacher to beet him.

Choice 3 : Do nothing.

Report him.

When I exposed the idea of reporting him to the direction of the school to my friends, one of them, who have the same teacher as me, wanted to come with me because he though he is a very bad teacher. When he said that, he seemed really angry. Should I let him come with me?

Choice 1 : Let him come with me.

Choice 2 : Do not let him come with me.

Let him come with me.

When we arrived at the director's office, I started to explain the problem but suddenly, my friend interrupted me and started telling bad thing about the teacher and shouting names at him. The director did not take me seriously because of my friend and a was never able to make my point valid. Finally, I just decided not to go to this course anymore because this teacher scared me and I failed the class.

Write a choice here.

Do not let him come with me.

My friend was a little mad because he was really hoping to complaint about the teacher. I have got to the director's office myself and I explained calmly the situation to him. After a few days the teacher was fired and replaced by a new teacher who was very cool and I finish this course with a note of 87%.

Write a choice here.

Arrange a meeting with the teacher to beet him.

I taught that the behaviour of the teacher was very disgusting and needed a correction so with some friends, we elaborate a plan. I will put a note in his office that tells him to meet me alone somewhere tomorrow so he can fall in our trap.

Choice 1 : Set the meeting on am.

Choice 2 : Set the meeting on pm.

Set the meeting on am.

We waited for the teacher in the driveway of the school. When he arrived, he seemed not very surprised to see us all. Suddenly two police agent appear behind him. We started running but one of them cached me. I tried to explain what the teacher did but the agent did not listen to me. The teacher was never punished for what he does, and I was forced to pay for what I did.

Write a choice here.

Set the meeting on pm.

My friends and I were waiting in the driveway but the teacher never came. The day after, we saw that the teacher had to return home because he had an indigestion. I asked my friends if they wanted to try again but they refused by saying, "it is to dangerous, if the teacher complaint to the police we will have bigger problems". I was very mad so I chose to abandon the class with that teacher and I finished with a note of 27%.

Write a choice here.

Do nothing.

I thought it was better to just wait for a few days and see what happens. For three days I did not cross the path of the teacher but the day after, I knew I had a class with him so I was freaking out.

Choice 1 : Abandon the course.

Choice 2 : Go to the course.

Abandon the course.

Ever since, I abandon the course, I'm trying not to cross the path of the teacher. Since, I failed the course and live with the fear of crossing his way.

Write a choice here.

Go to the course.

When I arrived in class, I fond a place at the back of the class because I did not want the teacher to see me. When the class was finished, before I could get out, he putted his hand on my shoulder, grab me in the class and lock the door. Suddenly I saw a pen on his desk close to us.

Choice 1 : Take the pen to defend myself.

Choice 2 : Try to push him in the direction of his desk.

Take the pen to defend myself.

Quickly, I took the pen and I stabbed him in the shoulder. While he was screaming of pain, I run out of the class directly to the director's office, I told them what happened and they decided to call the police. The teacher was arrested for sexual harassment and attempted rape. Afterward, the teacher was replaced by a new one and I succeed in the course with a note of 90%.

Write a choice here.

Try to push him in the direction of his desk.

When I pushed him, he fell and hurt his head on the corner of his desk. He fell on the ground and his head starts bleeding. I touched his neck to see if his heart was beating and I realized I just killed him. Because of the fact that there was no witnesses or proof that it was self-defense, I was accused of manslaughter and now I have to spend time in prisons.

Going to Université de Montréal.

During my first days of studying at this college, I met someone in my courses. After a few days spend with that person during the breaks, I realized that we had so much in common. I wanted to ask my friend out, but I was very shy.

Choice 1 : Invite that person to a diner.

Choice 2 : Do nothing.

Choice 3 : Try to know this person a little more before doing something.

Invite that person to a diner.

I decided to take a chance by organizing a date to a restaurant. My friend said yes to me and we went to an Italian restaurant. We were having so much fun and I could see an evolution in our relationship. At some points, during the evening, my friend stood up to go to the bathroom but let their cellphone on the table. While I was waiting, I saw the screen of the cellphone turning on and a saw a notification of a text sent bi someone. I wasn't really concerned by the name of the person, but I had a shock when I saw the little heart beside the name. I was wondering if my friend was already in relationship or not. I don't know if I should ask about it or not because, if it's just a friend or a member of her family, my friend is going to take me for a stalker for looking at the phone.

Choice 1 : Do nothing and act like I never saw that.

Choice 2 : Ask some question about the text.

Do nothing and act like I never saw that.

At the end of the evening, we went outside and we kissed. I thought I did the right thing by not asking questions about the text. The day after, I went to the school and I went to the cafeteria. There was almost no one at the school. Suddenly, I saw someone approaching very fast and looking at me with angry eyes. This person started yelling at me and slapped me in the face. I was a little shook but not so surprised because I just remembered the text that my supposedly single date received yesterday and I think I deserved it. I decided to put an end to this and not to see my friend again.

Write a choice here.

Ask some question about the text.

When my friend returns, I ask her some question and like a though, my friend started yelling at me and I understood that I was probably right about the text. That put an end to our relationship and we were really mad at each other.

Write a choice here.

Do nothing.

I decided to do nothing. A couple days later, when I entered the school, I saw my friend close to the door with some advertising pamphlets. I was wondering what it was so I ask my friend about it. I had a shock when I heard the answer, in fact, It was advertising pamphlets about a group of extreme right that promotes racism, intolerance towards ethnic minorities and fascist values. My friend stops me and ask me if I wanted to join the movement.

Choice 1 : Jump into it because I have a crush on my friend.

Choice 2 : Refuse to join the movement, even if I have a crush on my friend.

Jump into it because I have a crush on my friend.

A couple day later, we organised a manifestation in front of the school to promote our political right ideas. It finally turned out really bad because someone decided to throw a Molotov cocktail on the school and we all got arrested by the police.

After a couple days, I learned something very disturbing. I heard by some other friends a rumor that said that my friend was involved in a kidnapping of a member of a socialist group, a leftist group, in 2012.

Choice 1 : Ask directly to my friend about that.

Choice 2 : Do nothing.

Ask directly to my friend about that.

The day after, I asked my friend about those rumors, and I was very surprised when my friend grabbed me by the shoulder to tell me that it was true but that I should not tell anyone. I just freaked out and decided just to go and never talk to my friend again.

Studying History.

I didn't know if I should go to UQAM or Université de Montréal to study in History. I know that people at UQAM have a reputation of being junkies but this university is close to my home. Université de Montréal is far from my home but I heard that the program is very good.

Choice 1 : Studying History at UQAM.

Choice 2 : Studying History at Université de Montréal.

Studying History at UQAM.

The first days that I spend at this University was awesome. I really liked the program and all of my teachers. On day, one of the teachers started talking to us about an internship in History that take place in Italy and Greece. I was very interested because I could learn the ropes of being a historian by a very great way. The only thing is that this travel cost $10000 because we spend one mount here and that replaces a course of second session.

Choice 1 : Participate.

Choice 2 : Do not participate.

Choice 3 : Organize a manifestation to lower the price of the internship.

Participate.

I decided to participate because I saw a good opportunity for an on-the-job-training. Two session later, My time as an intern was completely amazing but now, I am in a dept and I don't have a job. I don't know what to do.

Choice 1 : Do illegal things to pay off my debt.

Choice 2 : Try to find a job.

Choice 1 : Abandon the course before the deadline.

Choice 2 : Keep the course.

Organize a manifestation to lower the price of the internship.

Me and a couple of friends decided to ask the people who participate in the internship if they wanted to join us in a manifestation to lower the price of the internship. At the end of the week, there was approximately a hundred of people with us. After two days of manifestation, five people ask me if I wanted to join them to try to enter the office of the teacher who was organizing the internship. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea.

Choice 1 : Doing the manifestation without trying to enter the office of the teacher.

Choice 2 : Try to enter the office of the teacher.

Doing the manifestation without trying to enter the office of the teacher.

I declined the offer and I told the it was probably not a good idea. I think they listened to me because a couple days later, they cut half of the price because they realized it was indeed too expensive for students.

Write a choice here.

Try to enter the office of the teacher.

I decided to do it with them. We decided to go to the office and knock on the door until someone answers us. When someone open the door, one of the guys that was with me just jumps in the face of the teacher. Because of that, they decided to put an end to the manifestation, we were forced to return in class and the price didn't change. I finally missed my chance to do the internship.
