My Life.

End of High School.

It was almost the end of high school, and I had no idea what to do next. I went to see the career counselor, and she showed me the different options that where available to me. These were the choices I had.

Choice 1 : Apply to CEGEP André-Grasset in Social Science.

Choice 2 : Apply to CEGEP Montmorency in Science.

Choice 3 : Go do a vocational studies diploma in automotive mechanics.

Apply to CEGEP André-Grasset in Social Science.

I decided to apply to CEGEP André-Grasset in Social Science, and I was accepted. After two sessions, I realized that I hated this program, and I had to make a choice:

Choice 1 : Finish my diploma.

Choice 2 : Drop out and change program.

Apply to CEGEP Montmorency in Science.

I wasn't a straight A's student, but I still managed to be accepted. The courses were hard, and I had to redo my time management to succeed. After my third session, I had to apply to university, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to become a doctor or an Engineer.

Choice 1 : Become a doctor.

Choice 2 : Become an engineer.

Go and Get a Vocational Study's Diploma in Automotive Mechanics.

I have always been passionate about cars, and this was finally the moment I could make a living out of the thing I like. One morning, I was with my friends in the garage, and the instructor brought us a brand-new sports car. When he left, one guy took the keys and asked me if I wanted to go for a test drive.

Choice 1 : Go for a drive.

Choice 2 : Refuse to go for a drive.

Finish My Diploma.

After two years of working hard, I got my diploma, and was ready to go to university. Unfortunately, I had no more motivation because I hated school, and going to university was going to be another 4 years of hard work in something that I don't like. Should I stick with this or should I quit?

Choice 1 : Finish my diploma as a lawyer.

Choice 2 : Drop out and change program.

Drop Out and Change Program.

It was time for me to make a change in my life, and do something that I actually liked.

Become a Doctor.

After ten years of university, I got my diploma as a medical doctor. I knew the human body in-depth, and I was ready to start working as an intern into a hospital. I applied to all of the hospital in my region, and I got accepted in two of them. Which one should I got to?

Choice 1 : Work at the St-Justine Hospital.

Choice 2 : Work at University of Montreal hospital centre.

Become an Engineer.

When I got my degree as an engineer, I went to work for a company named Lockheed Martin, which is a company that makes military aircraft. They did a background check on me to make sure I was not a spy, and I had to sign a confidentiality agreement. The human resources told me that there was two vacant positions, and that I had to make a choice.

Choice 1 : Work as an Aerospace Engineer.

Choice 2 : Work as a Propulsion Engineer.

Finish My Diploma as a Lawyer.

In my second year, my grades were really bad, and I hated classes, so I started skipping several of them. Because of that, I failed three classes, and I dropped out of university. In my free time, I started going to the gym, and I quickly became very fit and strong. After about one year and a half, I met a bodybuilder who was wiling to coach me. He told me that I should start taking steroids, and that it would help me with my progress. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Take Steroids.

Choice 2 : Refuse to Take Steroids.

Work at St-Justine Hospital.

Working at St-Justine hospital has changed me. Seeing a kid spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair because he felt on the ice or knowing that there is a kid with type 4 cancer in the room next to me breaks my heart every time. I couldn't sleep at night because I had nightmares, and I didn't know how long I could live like this. One night, I thought about suicide, but I wasn't sure if I should do it or not.

Choice 1 : Commit Suicide.

Choice 2 : Go to Sleep.

Work at University of Montreal Hospital Centre.

I've been working at the CHUM for over a year now, and it has been the best experience of my life. My colleagues have showed me the ins-and-outs of the job, and I have learned a lot since then. I also have been given a premium wage because I speak three languages. Because of that, I bought my dream car at the age of 30 years old, and all the time I spent studying has finally paid off.

Choice 1 : End of High School.

Work as an Aerospace Engineer.

My first few months as a trainee were excessively difficult because my boss was testing me to see if I was competent enough. He made me solve all kinds of problems, some of which were impossible, to hinder me, but I still passed the test. After that, he was kinder with me, and we became good friends afterwards. At the age of 62 years old, I retired, and I passed the torch to a young trainee named Melodie.

Work as a Propulsion Engineer.

I was excited at first because designing objects that were flying at 5 times the speed of sound was a reel engineering challenge, but I quickly realized that my supervisor was bias towards me, and he gave me all the crappy work. One time, I spent fifteen days working on a little bolt that was then remove because it was not necessary. After 5 years, he was fired because he sexually harassed a woman with whom I was working. I was then offered his position, and when I accepted it, I met a beautiful lady. I started to flirt with her a little, but I wasn’t sure whether I should ask her out or not.

Choice 1 : Ask Her Out on a Date.

Choice 2 : Don't Ask Her Out on a Date.

Go for a Drive.

We got into the car, and he started to accelerate way above the speed limit. I told him to slow down, but he wouldn't. We were going at 150 km/h when he hit a bump on the road which caused the car to lose traction, and we spun into a traffic light pole. The last thing I saw before losing consciousness was flames all over my body. I could feel it burn my skin, but I couldn't get out because my seat belt was stuck. Ten days later was my funeral, my family was crying, but I was too late. I was already gone.

Refuse to Go for a Drive.

I refused to go for a drive, and it was the best decision of my life. We learned, the next day, that both guys were pronounced dead following a high-speed car accident. The car burst into flames, and they couldn't get out in time. After that, I became a mechanic, and I opened my own tuning garage. Over the year, it has become the most renowned garage in Montreal, and I often tune Lamborghini and Ferrari.

Choice 1 : End of High School.

Take Steroids.

I've decided to take my coach's advice, and I started my first cycle on steroids. A year later was my first competition as a pro-bodybuilder. I finished second, and I was very disappointed in myself, so I decided to take more. Unfortunately, I had a heart attack, and the doctors couldn't revive me. If I were you, I would not make the mistake of taking steroids because they are way more dangerous than you think.

Refuse to Take Steroids.

I refused his offer because I wanted to stay natural and healthy. I continued to go to the gym, and I opened a fitness account on Instagram. It quickly blew up, and I got a more than a million subscriber in my first year. I then created my own gym clothing brand, that I called Young LA. Today, this brand is worth more than 100 million dollars, and I am living my dream life.

Commit Suicide.

I had written my letter, and I was walking towards the bridge when a young lady asked me if I was okay. I confessed everything to her, and she offered me some help. After talking to her, I felt much better, and she even gave me her number. We eventually fell in love with each other, and we got married. I spend the rest of my life with her, and we had two children named Sebastien and Normand.

Go to Sleep.

This night, I didn’t do anything irreversible. The next day, I helped a 4-year-old girl recover from her heart surgery. This brought joy to my life, and it made me realise that not everything was bad about this job. I started focusing on the good side of this job, and 30 years later, I was still helping kids in a hospital.

Ask Her Out on a Date.

We went on a few dates, and we got together shortly after. We lived a long and happy life side by side, and we had many kids.

Don't Ask Her Out on a Date.

I was to shy to ask her out, so I never did. I spent the rest of my life working there, and I never got married or got any kids. I died in my house with no one by my side.
