My unusual journey.

life choices

What to do next?

You've finally got your college diploma in Youth and Adult Correctional Intervention, it's been three years of hard work and you're so excited to start your adult life. Last year, you had to make a decision that would change your life forever.

Choice 1 : You decided to put aside your studies for a year.

Choice 2 : You chose to go to university to complete your studies.

gif

You decided to put aside your studies for a year.

Everybody needs a break from time to time. While you're resting, you think it's better for you to...

Choice 1 : Go on a road trip with some of your friends.

Choice 2 : Go live at your parent's house to live your childhood again.

gif

You chose to go to university to complete your studies.

University is a big step. Horray! You've been accepted in Social Work to the school that you wanted. You're going to...

Choice 1 : University of Montreal.

Choice 2 : University of Quebec in Montreal.

.

While you were an intern, you've been hired in two jobs that you really liked. You had to choose between...

Choice 1 : A group home

gif

Go on a road trip with some of your friends.

Your trip has been going on for 1 year now. You've been to Alberta, to Vancouver, you've done the most part of Canada. Now your friends are going to cross the border to go to the USA. You're asking yourself if you should go back home to your studies.

Choice 1 : You stay with your friends.

Choice 2 : You chose to go to university to complete your studies.

gif

You stay with your friends.

Now that you're living the American dream for 6 months now, you've realized that you have no money left. For one and a half year, you had no income. Your friends are broke too, so you have no choice but to sell the car. You all go back to Canada and you're now available to work in your domain.

Choice 1 : No choice but to make some money

gif

University of Quebec in Montreal.

You're now a student at UQaM and you currently live in the campus. As a welcoming party, some students in your program are asking you to join them to their apartment Thursday, the day before an important course that you really enjoy.

Choice 1 : Be wild and go to the party

Choice 2 : Go to the party but keep it slow.

Choice 3 : You refuse and rest at home.

gif

University of Montreal.

Now that you've chosen your side, you need to choose if you're going to the Montreal campus or the Laval campus. You still live at your parent's house at Sainte-Rose, on the opposite side from Laval to Montreal.

Choice 1 : Campus of Laval.

Choice 2 : Campus of Montreal.

gif

Go live at your parent's house to live your childhood again.

No problems, no worries. You're like a kid, enjoying life, while your siblings are planning to kick you out as soon as they can. They lost their liberty and you cost more than you think compared to the amount of pension that they receive. They want to live their retirement peacefully, so after a couple of months, they ask you to leave.

Choice 1 : You chose to go to university to complete your studies.

Choice 2 : Start again?

gif

Be wild and go to the party.

As you decided to party instead of resting, you told yourself that you'd do all you wanted tonight. You had no limits. Some people had hard drugs, you went and join them. You liked it too much. The day after, you skipped class, same for the day after that. Finally, instead of helping addicts, you became one.

Choice 1 : Start again?

gif

Go to the party but keep it slow.

While you're partying, you met two or three people to hang with. You discovered that you're all in the same class tomorrow. You all have fun, but stay reasonable. Thursday, you and your new friends come into class and talked all along. The semester passed, and you started to wonder how you would stay in the program because of your grades. You are failing.

Choice 1 : You try and go to University of Montreal.

Choice 2 : Try again?

gif

You refuse and rest at home.

At your campus, you're calm and you study for tomorrow's class. You keep getting sucked up in your studies for the rest of the semester, and you love it. One of your teachers particularly likes you so he offers you an internship at the Integrated University Health and Social Services Centres (CIUSSS) where you'll assist a social worker doing his job. After you get your bachelor's degree, your internship supervisor asks you to stay and work with him for the CIUSSS.

Choice 1 : You accept the position.

Choice 2 : You'll find a job by yourself.

gif

You accept the position.

You are now officially working for the CIUSSS. You specifically work for the Youth Centers of Montreal. You enjoy working with juveniles. It's a complex clientele but an interesting one. One day, you receive a call of your boss saying that one of your 16 years old kid at the Youth Center made a complaint against you for sexual harassment. You know that it's not true, but they don't, so you said...

Choice 1 : '' huuuum, I can explain! ''

Choice 2 : ''You know I would never do that.''

gif

You'll find a job by yourself.

After one year of research, you found a job at Bordeau Prison as a correctionnal officer. It's a strict work place but you learn the ropes pretty easily. You never tought you would work in a prison someday, but there you are. A couple of years later, you're still in this job that gives you no fulfillment when all of a sudden, there's a riot in the penitentiary. You have to act fast before you get harmed. You need a safe place..

Choice 1 : You run as fast as you can an get a gun.

Choice 2 : You hide in the control office.

gif

You run as fast as you can an get a gun.

Unfortunatly, your gun had no ammo. You died while trying provoking them with your empty gun. That's what we call a dead end job.

Choice 1 : start again?

gif

You hide in the control office.

You hid well, you stayed in the office during all the riot. Hopefully... YOU'RE ALIVE! Unfortunatly, the prison had a hard time with a fire that the prisonners started. You need to look for a new, yet worthwhile job.

Choice 1 : Go get a job

gif

'' huuuum, I can explain! ''

In each case, when you receive a complaint for sexual harrassement, there's nothing you can do. In this domain, you lose all your reputation. Even if it's not true.

Choice 1 : Start again?

gif

''You know I would never do that!?''

In each case, when you receive a complaint for sexual harrassement, there's nothing you can do. In this domain, you lose all your reputation. Even if it's not true.

Choice 1 : start again?

gif

Campus of Laval.

You're so close to the university, it takes only 30 minutes of bus and you're there. Your first semester's doing great. You're going faster than others because of the credited courses that you had in College. You even have time for a part-time job that you really like: ...

Choice 1 : Working in a halfway house.

Choice 2 : Working in a group home.

gif

Campus of Montreal.

Each morning, you have to make 1 hour and a half of public transport, same thing to come back home. You are so tired when you come back home, you can't even do your homework. After one year, while summer break, you take the decision to...

Choice 1 : Stay at your parent's house.

Choice 2 : Move in a shared appartement or campus near your school.

gif

Stay at your parent's house.

Another semester passes, and you're still so far from the school. Your parents are tired of you being tired. They think that you cost more than you think compared to the amount of pension that they receive. They want to live their retirement peacefully, so after a couple of months, they ask you to leave.

Choice 1 : You have no choice but to move

gif

Move in a shared appartement or campus near your school.

Now that you moved, your third semester's doing great. You're going faster than others because of the credited courses that you had in College. You even have time for a part-time job that you really like: ...

Choice 1 : Working in a group home.

Choice 2 : Working in a halfway house.

gif

Working in a group home.

You simply adore your job. It's study-friendly, you make good relations with your colleagues and you get experiences for the future. You get to help some kids all day long. It's like being a parent for 12 kids, but it's a therapeutic relationship with a lot of supervision. Now that you're done with Uni, the group home asked you if you wanted to stay.

Choice 1 : No, Thanks. I really need to do something else.

Choice 2 : You said YES!!!

gif

Working in a halfway house.

In the Halfway Home, you feel good. You have a good relationship with one of your client. So good, that he's-she's asking you to date. You have to say no, even if your inner self is dying to answer ''yes''. You said that you could only consider it when he'll-she'll be done with his-her readaptation. After two years of hard work at your job, that person came back to tell you that he's-she's done with his-her readaptation program and that the wait was over.

Choice 1 : You jump in his-her arms and kiss each other.

Choice 2 : You have to decline because you know that you'll lose your credibility in front of your clients.

gif

No, Thanks. I really need to do something else.

It was just a part-time job anyway.

Choice 1 : Go work in a halfway house.

gif

You said YES!!!

You made the greatest decision of your life. You stayed there for 5 years until you returned to school to be a teacher in the program in which you were when you were in college. You also met someone that you really liked and you made one or two or three kids. I can tell that you'll live happily ever after.

Choice 1 : The END

gif

You jump in his-her arms and kiss each other.

You had to choose between this person or your career and you chose him-her. Today you regret it a little bit because he's-she's now back in jail while you have three kids under your arms.

Choice 1 : Start again?

gif

You have to decline because you know that you'll lose your credibility in front of your clients.

You needed a bit of change so you decided to go to a group home, where you can't fall in love with anybody.

Choice 1 : Working in a group home.

The End.
