High school graduation.

After five long years of high school, I finally graduated. I am not gonna miss school because my parents forced me to go to an all girls, catholic, strict school. The nuns overwhelmed us with tests and homework. That is why time management was my priority in-depth of all my work. It was maddening because I needed to pull off straight A's at all times. Through my years of high school, I always though when I completed this chapter of my life, I knew exactly what I was going to do with my life. Well, I was wrong, I had too many choices in my head about my future and if I choose the wrong one and does not succeed, my family would literally abolish me, that is why I decided to...

Choice 1 : Become a makeup artist

Choice 2 : Become a lawyer

Choice 3 : Become a judge

high school graduation

Welcome to the beauty world!

This idea about becoming a makeup artist was always a dream of mine! I express my sense of creativity through makeup and glamorous looks. Everybody needs a makeup artist for all kinds of events, such as weddings, graduation glam, photo shoots and many more. What I love about my career is that I develop new skills every day, especially when I practice on my clients. More often than not, I suffer from anxiety. The reason behind my anxiety is the reactions of my models at the end of the makeup session. I thankfully learnt the ropes of this kind of situation, and now I know exactly how to handle my stress. Lately, there was a video circulating around TikTok about a makeup product not working well. I finally found a trick to make the product work again...

Choice 1 : Should I make a TikTok about the trick

Choice 2 : Should I keep the trick to myself and apply for a job at Sephora?

Results of the TikTok.

After a couple of days sharing my trick on TikTok, I had over 5.4 million people that watched my video. I was in shock. I had over 500 thousand likes and 1000 comments. I had so many people thanking me. Some of them even said that I saved their lives. I came in handy for millions of people. My family was extremely surprised and happy for me. I was recognized by so many teenagers. The brand behind this product even contacted me with threats because the defective product was built purposely so that the consumers buy the product multiple times. I had two choices in mind...

Choice 1 : Show the truth about the scamming brand to TikTok viewers

Choice 2 : Ignore the brand's threats and become an influencer

defective product

The truth behind the brand.

After the ongoing threats from the brand, I finally exposed the truth on the internet. Little did I know, there was a major drawback by exposing the scamming brand. They obviously got canceled by millions of people, but they had a full legal staff to protect them from me. They took legal actions to sue me for defamation, which is not fair because they were lying. After a couple of trials, the verdict finally came out. I was accused of damages and defamation. I had to pay for a prejudice that those scammers did on millions of people. I told my lawyer that was not fair because they were the frauds!

A new influencer.

Becoming an influencer was the best life decision ever! After sharing my trick on TikTok, I became famous and many people wanted me to share even more tricks. I decided to put aside my useless hobbies to put a foot in the door of my new lifestyle. I had so many new supporters every day. My family was really proud of me. I do three videos every day, and I gain a thousand dollars for one video. That means I make three thousand dollars a day and twenty-one thousand dollars a week. I became rich quickly, and I bought my parents everything they ever dreamed.

Working for Sephora.

I should never have even though about working at Sephora. This place is a disaster! First of all, I applied to be a makeup artist, but they had no more place, and they put me as a Beauty Advisor. I get paid minimum wage, that means my salary is really low. The workplace environment is filled with toxic coworkers. They often withhold purposely really important information about the job, so they could be better than everyone. I always find myself getting sucked up in the work drama, even when I am not interested. This dead-end job overwhelms me mentally and financially.

Law and Justice.

After high school, I decided to pursue college in Law. I was so passionate about the subjects we talked in class. We learnt how to properly find a jurisprudence that was familiar with our situation, a doctrine that defines certain words and the meaning of prejudice. Since I was so determined, I participated in debates and competition to increase my knowledge in Law. Since I put aside my useless hobbies, I managed to pull off straight A's. At the time when I was supposed to graduate to become a Lawyer, I found out I was pregnant...

Choice 1 : Should I keep the baby?

Choice 2 : Should I get an abortion?

Law

After the abortion.

After the abortion, I felt guilty. As, if a huge part of me was gone. The baby daddy was never in the picture, which made it even worse. My depression was insanely serious. I had suicidal thoughts. My career was getting worse. I did not have any motivations to pursue Law. I did not have any support from anybody. I had so many side effects, such as bleeding, headaches and breast pain. I often think about my baby. Why did I make this decision? What would my life be if this baby still existed? So many thoughts going through my mind. After the huge side effects, I had an internal bleeding, and I died.

Abortion

The baby has arrived!

After the arrival of the baby, I thought I made the worst decision of my life. Surprisingly, the baby daddy is still very present in my baby and I's life. He and I learnt the ropes of becoming new parents, which made it so much easier for us. I was overwhelmed a bit after I graduated from law because I did not know how pull off my time management with work while having a baby. However, my father's child was thoughtful and would come in handy when I needed to build my career in criminal and penal law. One day, a client came into my office with a risky case.

Choice 1 : Accept the offer

Choice 2 : Deny the case

baby

Case denied.

I denied the case because it was one of the biggest hearings of Quebec and I did not want that kind of stress over my family and me. It was a lawsuit with the Hells Angels. My colleague took the case and won half a million dollars. The prosecutor had a lot of evidence concerning drug sales and sex trafficking against the defendant, and I thought that I could never convince the judge otherwise. My colleague's career blew up after winning the case. Everybody wanted her as a lawyer. If I had taken the risk by accepting the case and coming out of my comfort zone, I would have been the one with over half a million dollars in my pocket.

lawyer

My biggest lawsuit.

The Hells Angels was a complicated case. Through the strong allegations, the evidences and the intimidating defendants, I was getting emotionally overwhelmed. More often than not, I couldn't find a jurisprudence or a doctrine that was on my client's favor. There was a powerful testimony made by a witness. The police investigation found too much evidence that made my defendant even more guilty. When I found out the hearing was in front of the grand jury, I was really excited. That meant my client still had a chance to see the light at the end of the tunnel. To make sure that I was well-prepared...

Choice 1 : Hire a paralegal

Choice 2 : Work by myself

Hells angels

Paralegal hired!

I took the chance and finally hired a paralegal. Her name is Sabrina and she just graduated from Ahuntsic College in Paralegal Technology. I hired her for an internship. Although she was an intern, we built a strong relationship based on trust. Since she knew how to properly do her research, and she helped me find many jurisprudences and powerful doctrines that could defend our Hells Angels case. The court date was getting closer, and I was nervous. Following the presentation of my evidence, the judge and the jury agreed with my arguments and dismissed the case. My client was free, and I got rich because everybody wanted me as a Lawyer.

Working alone.

While working independently on the Hells Angels case, my career went for the worse. I did not have any motivations nor any help from anybody. The lack of creativity and of diverse perspectives was overwhelming. My client became aggressive towards me because the case couldn't advance in his favor. He sent my threats and frightening warnings. After I built the courage, I denounced the terrifying truth about my client to the police. Following the same day, my former client sued me for professional confidentiality. He won the case, and I became homeless. My family never talked to me since that day.

Judge Christel.

Since I was a lawyer for ten years, I had the opportunity to become a judge. I had this passion since I was young. I always thought I was better at judging a situation than defending one. My sense of listening and patience was appreciated by my clients and colleagues. I excelled my exams and I needed to pass in front of the judges from the Supreme Court of Canada. They we're surprised by my years of cases that I won. They wanted to hire me, but they needed my authorization for a background check.

Choice 1 : I authorize the background check

Choice 2 : I do not give them the right to do a background check

judge

Background check.

When my background check was completed, my salary and my compensation packages got better. The judges gave me the green light to become a judge. I was the youngest female in Canada to ever become a judge. I was extremely proud of myself. All the hard work paid off. Since I was a judge in the criminal and penal law, I needed to be careful with my personal information. I never showed that I had a daughter nor a husband. My social media profile always had a random name. The fact that I kept my personal life private, my family was never scared of anything related to my work.

Background check

Background check denied.

My career was getting too good to be true. I was scared about the background check because of my terrible past. Since I did not agree for the background check, I can't ever become a judge. My past life was extremely dangerous. I had too many secrets. I was a terrorist. I used to build bombs and hide them in other countries. I was making so much money off of that. I wanted to change and become free. I took the courage when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. I didn't want her life to be in jeopardy. I cut all the ties with my past life and now, this secret is gonna follow me forever.
