What career and cegep should I choose?

After highschool, I had two career choices. It was either becoming a translator and attend Cégep de Sherbrooke in Arts, Letters, and Communication with the language option, only available at Cégep de Sherbrooke. Either becoming a teacher, and attend Cégep de Thetford in Arts, Letters, and Communication. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Become a translator, and attend Cégep de Sherbrooke.

Choice 2 : Become a teacher, and attend Cégep de Thetford.

Become a translator, and attend Cégep de Sherbrooke.

I chose to become a translator, and therefore going to Cégep de Sherbrooke. These two years have been quite great for my studies, I've learned so much about other languages and how to translate. As for my living situation, it was hard at first, since I had to learn how to properly take care of myself, I also had to learn about time management, but with time I've grown accustomed to it. Since I've graduated from cegep, I'm faced with two choices, either going straight to university or take a sabbatical year.

Choice 1 : Go straight to university.

Choice 2 : Take a sabbatical year.

Go straight to university.

I chose to go straight to university. Since the beginning of my studies here, I'm having a lot of fun with it. The courses I'm taking really confirms the fact that I want to become a translator. I'm in my last year of university, and the finals are approaching, but I'm debating about whether to study or not. I've got good grades for now, and I've worked really hard all year. On the other hand, my teachers warned us that the finals will be more challenging than the other exams we've taken since then. Should I study or not?

Choice 1 : Study.

Choice 2 : Not study.

Study.

Since the teachers warned us about the difficulty of the exams, I've decided to study. It hasn't been an easy task, because I can easily be distracted, but I've made an effort to study thoroughly. Seems like my efforts were not a waste, because I've received my final results, and I've got straight A's everywhere. I'm graduating as the top of my class, I can't believe that I managed to graduate. I can finally work as a translator.

Choice 1 : The end.

Not study.

I've decided that I was talented enough that I didn't have to study for my finals. I regret this decision, because my final results were terrible. I barely passed one of my courses, and failed the rest of them. This means I have to retake a semester so that I can graduate and become a translator. I'm so disappointed in myself, but I only have to blame myself for it, since I didn't make a lot of efforts for my finals.

Choice 1 : Go straight to university.

Take a sabbatical year.

I've decided to take a sabbatical year, and I must admit that it has been the best decision I've ever made. With my part-time job I'm making a lot of money, even though it's the minimum wage, and I've finally got more time for my hobbies. I honestly think I'll just stay like that, I love the fact that I have a lot of money incoming, and more time to do what I actually like. This has been the best year of my life so far, I don't believe that going to university and becoming a translator is the right path for me. Besides, my parents are ready to host me all year round, if I keep my job and give a small part of my salary as rent. This is definitely better than having to pay a bigger rent, going to university and working less because I have to concentrate on my studies.

Choice 1 : Becoming a translator, and attend Cégep de Sherbrooke.

Become a teacher, and attend Cégep de Thetford.

I chose to go to Cégep de Thetford in the hopes of becoming a teacher. These two years has been amazing, I loved learning new things about the arts and communications. Since I'm graduating from cegep, it's time for me to finally choose where and what I want to teach. I'm debating between becoming a preschool teacher, or becoming a High school English teacher. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Preschool teacher.

Choice 2 : High school English teacher.

Preschool teacher.

I decided to become a preschool teacher. I really love this job, the kids are amazing, and I can really see myself working in this field until I retire. The only problem is that I can see how much I'm inexperienced, the kids don't always listen to me. When they throw tantrums I'm at a loss of words, I just don't know how to react. Sometimes they have big fights, and I want to resolve their conflicts, but I feel that I make the situation worst every time I meddle in. My boss saw me struggle, and she proposed to give me an OJT so that I could learn all the ropes and ins-and-outs of the job. I'm debating it because I feel like it's a bit early for me to do so. Should I take the OJT or not?

Choice 1 : Take the OJT.

Choice 2 : Not take the OJT.

Take the OJT.

I chose to take the OJT. When my boss heard my decision, she was pleasantly surprised. She saw how much I wanted to be better my job, and that I really had the kids interests at heart. While doing the OJT, she gave me invaluable advice on how to handle the kids when they threw tantrums or had fights. This OJT has really been helpful to me, and I'm glad I accepted to take it. I now have a better understanding of my work, and my boss is content with my work.

Choice 1 : The end.

Not take the OJT.

I chose not to take the OJT. My boss was a bit disappointed, bu she understood that I didn't feel ready for it. Now, the kids still give me hell every day, and it has been more tedious for me to come to work. The kids understand that I don't know what to do when they throw tantrums, so they're taking advantage of it. My boss is really mad at me for it, and is threatening of firing me if I don't pull myself together. I think I'm just not cut out for this job, I resigned because of it. When my boss heard about it, she was not surprised nor impressed.

Choice 1 : Preschool teacher.

High school English teacher.

I decided to become a High school English teacher. Since I've started working, it has been a joy for me. I love teaching teenagers my passion. The only problem is that the kids seems to think of me as a friend, rather than a figure of authority. Often more than not, they don't take me seriously, laugh in my face when I try to discipline them, and they talk while I'm teaching. One of my older colleagues saw me struggle, and gave some advice. The only problem is that her advice seems a bit harsh to me. I don't like the idea of kicking one of my students out because they talked back to me. On the other hand, it has been more difficult for me to come to work, since they started becoming disrespectful. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Take the advice.

Choice 2 : Not take the advice.

Take the advice.

I decided that I should apply my colleague's advice. I've started becoming more stern and strict to them, and it seems to work. I also kicked some of my students out of class when they were being too disruptive. My students don't like it, but I'm not here to be their friend, I'm here to educate them in the best conditions possible. Since I've started to be stricter, I started enjoying going to work more. I'm really thankful to my colleague and her precious advice, without her I would have probably quit.

Choice 1 : The end.

Not take the advice.

I chose not to take my colleague's advice. Since then, I've regretted it. My students are testing my boundaries every day. They are being more and more disruptive by the weeks, and I dreaded coming to work. I'm starting to realize that I'm maybe not cut out to deal with teenagers, they are too rebellious for me. I resigned from that position since that realization.

Choice 1 : High school English teacher.

The end.
