My last Cegep semester.

At the end of high school, I was faced with a choice that would decide the rest of my life. I had to choose which program I would pursue in Cegep.

Choice 1 : Choose Pure and applied sciences.

Choice 2 : Study Health science.

Choose Pure and applied sciences.

I chose to go study Pure and Applied sciences at Montmorency College. I studied there for three years, learned a lot of things and met a lot of people. Nearing the end of my collegiate education, I had to decide which university I would go study at.

Choice 1 : Study At Polytechnique Montréal.

Choice 2 : Study At Concordia University.

Study At Polytechnique Montréal.

I choose to go study at Polytechnique Montreal. However, my program choices become more restricted. This university only offers Engineering programs, and are notorious for being very intense. Faced with these choices, I must choose which undergraduate program I will choose to pursue.

Choice 1 : Become a Civil Engineering Student.

Choice 2 : Become a Biomedical Engineering student.

Become a Civil Engineering Student.

I chose to become a Civil Engineering student and started University in the winter of 2026. The workload was high, the sessions and the exams were very intense and my moral was dwindling down at a rapid rate. At the end of my second session, despite the trials and tribulations, things finally started paying off. I got offered internships by two different companies, and I had to choose which one I would work at.

Choice 1 : Work for a small engineering firm as a CAD drafter

Choice 2 : Work for Hydro-Quebec as an Hydraulic Engineering intern

All roads do not lead to success.

I chose to intern as a CAD drafter for a small engineering firm. On my first day of OTJ, I was immediately faced with alienation from my new coworkers. Even though I was eager to learn the ropes, my position kept being undermined. My peers were often times withholding from me in hopes of getting me fired. This job completely crushed my soul. I was left with no other choice but to quit. With the distasteful experience I had on my first internship, I was starting to question If I really wanted to continue study Civil Engineering.

Choice 1 : Drop out.

Choice 2 : Change University program

Choice 3 : Continue studying Civil Engineering

A turn in directions.

I decided to change my university program after my disappointing experience studying my original program.

Choice 1 : Change University program.

Back to the routine.

After my internships, I had to go back to school to finish my programs. Despite the great suffering I had endured these past 4 years, I was still grateful, and proud to become a Civil Engineer. I was nearing the end of of my undergraduate program, and two companies promised me a job after I obtained my degree.

Choice 1 : Work for Hydro-Quebec as a junior Hydraulic Engineering.

Choice 2 : Work as a structural engineer for Bombardier.

Where life truly begins.

I just started my new job as a Hydraulic engineer for Hydro-Quebec. There, I learned invaluable skills. This job brought me fulfillment at it's highest. It has allowed me to save for my retirement due to the premium wage they offered me. I was able to but a down payment for a house and afford my own car.

Choice 1 : Continue working for hydro Quebec

Become an intern at Hydro-Quebec.

I began my first work experience as an intern for Hydro-Quebec. They taught me the ins-and-outs of the job. One employee warned me to stay out of office politics, since he seemed like a nice individual I listened to him. This advice became the piece of information that allowed me to stand out from the previous interns. My supervisor even complimented me on my in-depth knowledge of the job at hand, my invaluable skills and my kind behavior. He even offered me a vacant position with a premium wage after I finished my studies.

Choice 1 : Continue studying Civil Engineering

Study Health science.

I chose to go study Health science at Montmorency College, I finished my studies in 2 years, and I have to to choose which university I will choose to pursue my education at.

Choice 1 : Study At Polytechnique Montréal.

Choice 2 : Study At Concordia University

Not all paths lead to success.

I decided to go study at Concordia University in the Biomedical Science undergraduate program. The weeks were intense, the workload was unbearable. I spiraled into a depression halfway through my semester and was faced with two choices.

Choice 1 : Drop out.

Choice 2 : Change university and program.

Become a Biomedical science student.

I chose to become a Biomedical science student. I began my first session, and I was instantaneously interested. The material to study was hard but also very fascinating. As I approach the end of my second semester, I am offered two internships.

Choice 1 : Intern as a assistant researcher for the my school.

Choice 2 : Intern as a lab technician.

Intern as an assistant researcher for my school.

The job was very fascinating. The upsides of working for my school completely outweighed the downsides. There were no office politics, I was paid a premium wage, and I did not have to worry about my transportation method. It truly felt like a job with no drawbacks. I learned a lot of new information, and I was decided in continuing my path as Biomedical Engineering student.

Choice 1 : Continue studying Biomedical Engineering

Intern as a lab technician for a school.

I interned as a lab technician for a High school. Under the supervision of the chemistry teachers, I had the job of placing equipment, and making analysis on projects that student would have to complete. I was often seen as inferior by the teachers, I felt very alienated. I dreaded coming to work everyday due to the persecution I was a victim of. Despite this bad experience, I was still decided to finish my degree.

Choice 1 : Continue studying Biomedical Engineering

Finish your Biomedical Engineering degree.

I finally completed my degree after 4 years of studies. I am offered a job as a full-time consultant for a pharmaceutical company.

Choice 1 : Work for the pharmaceutical company.

Work for the pharmaceutical company.

On my first day at my new job, I was immediately faced by an act of misconduct at the highest level. An employee was sexual harassing our administrative assistant. While looking at the scene, I take my phone out and began filming the incident. I am left with two choices.

Choice 1 : Report him to HR

Report him to HR.

I decided to report him to HR. At first, he tried justifying himself by saying it was just flirtation that went too far, unfortunately for him, the video I took highlighted the many instances where our administrative assistant declined his advances. He was then forced to quit his role in the company and resign immediately.

Choice 1 : Report him to the police

Choice 2 : Let HR take care of his case

Report him to the police.

I decided they had made a decision not severe enough, so I took it in my own hands to report him to the police. He was arrested a few days later and placed in the sexual offender registry.

Choice 1 : Finish your story

Drop out of university.

I have dropped out of university, but I am still doubting my choices. I decided to back to university and change program.

Choice 1 : Change university program

The finish line.

You lived a great life, learned a lot of valuable life lessons. As you enter this new stage in your life, you take a moment and ask yourself: If I was to be reborn, would I make the same choices?

Choice 1 : Start again
