What's next?

When I finished high school I didn't know what I wanted to do for my career. I was hesitated between two colleges.

Choice 1 : Go to Collège Maisonneuve in Dental Hygienist.

Choice 2 : Go to Collège Ahuntsic in Medical Imaging.

Go to Collège Maisonneuve in Dental Hygienist.

I started to go there, and I didn't like the program. I couldn't make any friends, and I didn't understand any of my classes. So, I left.

Choice 1 : Go to Ahuntsic College in Medical Imaging.

Go to Collège Ahuntsic in Medical Imaging.

I went to Collège Ahuntsic, and I instantly like the program, even though I didn't understand some of the classes I had that motivation to keep going. I was able to make friends so every time I went to school I felt like I had a purpose. But I wasn't sure if I should do the program in 3 or 4 years.

Choice 1 : Make the program in 3 years.

Choice 2 : Make the program in 4 years.

Make the program in 3 years.

I did the program in 3 years and had so many classes in one semester. I was so overwhelmed, I was barely sleeping, I couldn't go out to see my friends. I ended up failing my classes because I was not doing good mentally.

Choice 1 : Make the program in 4 years.

Make the program in 4 years.

I ended up doing the program in 4 years, and it was the best decision of my life. I had 5-6 classes a semester, and I had time to study and understand all of my classes. I could go out with my friends, I wasn't stressed during my semester and I passed all of my classes with good grades. For the last semester I had to do an internship to have a foot in the door of my future career, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to work at CHUM or at Sainte-Justine.

Choice 1 : Go at CHUM hospital.

Choice 2 : Go to Hôpital Sainte-Justine.

Go to Hôpital Sainte-Justine.

I went to Sainte-Justine but, I wasn't sure if I wanted to work with children, but I gave it a try. At first, I didn't mind it but at the end of the day I was so exhausted from always being with kids, and it was out of my comfort zone. So, I left.

Choice 1 : Go at CHUM hospital.

Go at CHUM hospital.

I chose this hospital because it would be easier with all the technology and most of my friends went there too. Suddenly one of my co-workers started to make weird comments about my body and I didn't know what to do.

Choice 1 : Talk to the manager.

Choice 2 : Ignore him.

Talk to the manager.

I went to see the manager about the situation and how things like this shouldn't happen. The manager told me that she will take the action needed for him to stop. Because of that, some of my co-workers started to stop talking to me and started gossiping about me.

Choice 1 : Ignore them too.

Choice 2 : Quit the job.

Ignore him.

I ignore him, but I was really uncomfortable coming to work with him every day, and he started to affect the way that I was working.

Choice 1 : Talk to the manager.

Ignore them too.

I decided to ignore them, but every day I would see them whispering stuff between them while looking at me, and I started to feel bad because my workplace was becoming a toxic place for me.

Choice 1 : Quit the job.

Quit the job.

I decided to quit the job because it was too toxic for me and I didn't want to work with bullies. After I quit, I was hesitating between two hospitals to work.

Choice 1 : Go to Hôpital Sacré-Coeur.

Choice 2 : Go to Hôpital Fleury.

Go to Hôpital Sacré-Coeur.

I really wanted to go there because my friends were there too, but it was way to far from my house.

Choice 1 : Go to Hôpital Fleury.

Go to Hôpital Fleury.

I chose this hospital because, it's right by my house, even though my friends were not working in that hospital, it was more practical for me. I started to work there, and I saw one of my co-workers steeling stuff from the hospital. Is she corrupting?

Choice 1 : Ask her what is she doing.

Choice 2 : Mind my business.

Ask her what is she doing.

I asked her very nicely what was she doing, and I start feeling bad for her, she told me that she didn't have enough money to buy some diapers for her baby at home.

Choice 1 : Offer her to help.

Choice 2 : Tell her that her secret is safe with me.

Mind my business.

She got caught steeling by another person and a few weeks later she got fired.

Choice 1 : Ask her what is she doing.

Offer her to help.

I insisted on offering help, and she finally accepted. I bought her everything that she needed to take care of her child. We started to hang out every day after our shift, and we became good friends. I asked her if she was capable of doing two jobs, and she told me yes, so we found her a job, and now she stable. A few months after that, we decided to go on a trip to volunteer abroad in a country that needed help.

Choice 1 : Go to Mexico.

Choice 2 : Go to Jamaica.

Tell her that her secret is safe with me.

I told her that her story is good with me, and we didn't talk after that.

Choice 1 : Offer her to help.

Go to Mexico.

We decided to go to Mexico and help in the medical field with children. It went really well but the language barrier was not it, and we couldn't understand anything.

Choice 1 : Go to Jamaica.

Go to Jamaica.

We went to Jamaica and everything went well, the people were amazing and kind, and we could understand each other. We were there for a few weeks, and we went home after. We got back to our normal life and my best friend and I kept working in the same hospital for many years.
