My Chosen Life.

Starting at the beginning.

It is the end of high school. I am very excited and undecided by the many opportunities. I would like to work in a medical field, but I am not sure which college should I go to.

Choice 1 : Go to Ahuntsic College.

Choice 2 : Go to Rosemont Cegep.

High school.

Go to Ahuntsic College.

Now, I am studying in the Medical Ultrasound Technology. This technique is offering in three years with condensed courses or in four years with fewer courses per semester. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Do it in three years.

Choice 2 : Do it in four years.

Choice 2 : Study harder.

Rosemont College.

Do it in three years.

I really want to finish school faster as possible and go work in a hospital. After a semester with nine classes, I was exhausted. Especially with eight exams on the final week. I finished with grades around 60%, because I don't have enough time to study. It is too stressful, so I decide to change my schedule for finishing in four years.

Choice 1 : Do it in four years.

Busy schedule.

Do it in four years.

I decided to do it in four years. Since I only have five to six classes per semester, it is more relaxed. I have time to prepare myself for every exam. I am pulling off straight A's for my courses. I am going to do my internship next year. Which hospital should I go to?

Choice 1 : CHUM hospital.

Choice 2 : CHU Saint-Justine hospital.

Free schedule.

Relax with friends.

My friends invite me to a party to relax a bit. I decided to put aside my homework and study. I lost all my time management, and I can't learn anything because I can't focus anymore. I dropped out and chose to work full-time in the restaurant where I was doing part-time job as a waitress. I don't know if I like this job or not, but I need to make a living, so I just live my life day by day like this. I am still happy, because I have friends and family, but I wonder if I would have a different life if I made another choice.

Choice 1 : Starting at the beginning.

Party.

Study harder.

I am stricter to myself, and I got good grades, but I realize I actually don't really like the program. I don't like the job that this program leads me to. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Too late to change, keep study this program.

Choice 2 : Change program/school.

Study hard.

Too late to change, keep study this program.

I don't like what I am doing, but I don't want to disappoint my family. I decided to continue in this program, and I even went to university because I didn't want to go work. After start working, like I know longtime ago I found my job very boring for me. I chose to change my job to not work in my field of expertise. Now I wonder why I didn't change my field sooner to do what I would like.

Choice 1 : Change program/school.

Choice 1 : CHUM hospital.

Choice 2 : CHU Saint-Justine hospital.

Medical Ultrasound Technology.

CHUM hospital.

This hospital is very close to my house. I can wake up at 7:30, and work at 8. I am always motivated to go work because there is another intern which is my classmate with me in the same hospital. We are learning the robes together. After the internship, I receive an offer from this hospital. Should I stay or change to another hospital?

Choice 1 : Stay.

Choice 2 : Change hospital.

CHUM hospital.

CHU Saint-Justine hospital.

The specialty of this hospital is kids and pregnant women. It is so cute. I love working with them, but one thing bad is the radiologist is sexual harassing me. When I am presenting my report to him, he always uses this time to flirt me, and talk some inappropriate things. I ask him many times to stop, and before I do a complaint about him, he tries to corrupt me with money. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Accept the bribe and change hospital.

Choice 2 : Refuse the bribe and change hospital.

He didn't do any physical harassment to me, so I decide to accept the money and leave this toxic environment.

Choice 1 : CHUM hospital.

Refuse the bribe and change hospital.

I don't want to let him harass other people, so I refused the bribe, and I did a complaint on him. I told my teachers what was going on, and they changed me to another hospital for the rest of my internship. After that, apparently the radiologist was fired.

Choice 1 : CHUM hospital.

Woman who refuse the corruption.

Stay.

This saved me from the on-the-job-training. I know all of my coworkers, the ultrasound machines, and the departments. It makes me having a foot in the door. Not long after, I started to get sucked up in the office politics. More often than not, two of my best colleagues stopped their conversation when I walked into the room. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Ask them why they do that.

Choice 2 : Digest the emotion myself.

Talking behind your back.

Change hospital.

I sent many CVs to different hospitals and clinics, but they all told me they were full. The HR told me that the internships just done, and most of them hire their interns to save times for the OJT. I decide to accept the offer of CHUM hospital.

Choice 1 : Back to CHUM.

Accept offer.

Back to CHUM.
