Cegep of Victoriaville.

So, I choose to go to the cegep of victoriaville with my friend, and I'm really happy about that, because now I can study, and be with some friends, or I can play a sport to entertain me during my study. But I can't really do both. I need to choose between one of them. So, do I want to still do what I came here at the first place so study with my friend, or I go play a sport that I'm good at, and maybe having a funnier cegep.

Choice 1 : Go study with my friend.

Choice 2 : Do a sport in cegep.

PE teacher.

I chose to be a PE teacher because I stilled can make a difference in the life of others' maybe it will count for less in the eyes of others' but for those kids who just want to play sport without being judged or sad. For me, those kids are the kids I wanted to be when I was young. Having a real PE teacher that is human instead of just an adult doing his loveless job.
