A not so easy choice.

Finally starting my life.

I have now finished my technique in Youth and Adult Correctional Intervention at Ahuntsic College. It is now the time to choose what I should do with my life now.

Choice 1 : On my way to be a criminologist.

Choice 2 : Starting my new Job as a prison guard at the Bordeaux Prison.

Choice 3 : Staying at my mom's.

Ahuntsic College

On my way to be a criminologist.

I have decided to be a criminologist, it is important for me to understand and analyse the causes of criminal acts. Now I need to decide which university would I do my courses.

Choice 1 : University of Montreal

Choice 2 : University of Ottawa

criminology

Starting my new Job as a prison guard at the Bordeaux Prison.

I have been dreaming to work in this field my whole life. I am sure it's my dream job. To get in this job, they had to to a background check to make sure I didn't have any criminal records. It's a normal procedure to get in. The first day, I have the chance to assist a fight between two prisoners. I don't know how to intervene.

Choice 1 : Try to intervene by myself

Choice 2 : Call for backups

Prison de Bordeaux

Staying at my mom's.

The life out there is too dangerous and hard. I could stay with my mom until I win the lottery. Like that both of us will be happy about my decision.

Choice 1 : Tell my mom my great plan

mom's house

GET OUT !

My mom is not really happy about the idea. She said that I was not a kid no more. She took me things and threw them out or the house. I really need to do something with my life.

Choice 1 : New plan coming

kicked out

She was a good girl.

While trying to separate the interns, one of them punches you in the throat, flattened my lips, pulled my hair and knocked my head trough the wall. I died on the spot.

Choice 1 : Restart to have a better life

funeral

Thanks for your help.

I know I couldn't handle the situation by myself, so I called the security for help. My supervisor saw that I wasn't ready to handle those kinds of situations, so he put me on-the-job-training. He saw the potential in me and since that I am new, he decided to invite me to the bar with other prison guards. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Why not, after all I need to make new friends

Choice 2 : No let's keep it professional

prison

Things are getting weird.

I said yes to his invitation. He gave me the address of the bar and said that he will come with the other employee. The next day, while waiting at the bar, I saw my boss coming without the others. I asked him where they were, he said that they changed their mind, it was only going to be him and I. Oh oh, I think I'm in big trouble.

Choice 1 : Sorry, I have to go

Choice 2 : It doesn't matter we need to know each other better

bar

I need to go now.

I told him I'm going home, my dogs are sick. He insists that I should stay by grabbing my arm. I push his hand away, He isn't allowed touching me like that. The next day at work, my boss needed to talk to me at his office. When I came in, he apologized for his mistakes and said that even if it's my second day, he will give me a premium wage.

Choice 1 : I took it but I am not done.

Choice 2 : Say things doesn't work like that and leave

office

End of the dream.

It was only the beginning of the days in my job and already there's a toxic energy. I was really at a dead end. It is here that my dream jobs stops.

Choice 1 : Return to the first choices to have a better life

resignation

I took it but I am not done.

Even though I have taken the premium wage, I have decided to file a complain letter to the Human Resources saying that my boss have sexually harassed me. It is not something that should be withholding. When these kinds of things happen, we should not undermine the people that are dealing with those kinds of situations. So, I needed to take actions.

Choice 1 : Give the letter to HR

documents

Enough is enough.

I gave the letter. Days after they sent me back a letter saying that they were sorry that this inconvenience happened to me. A week later, my boss was replaced by someone else. This perpetrator was finally gone. I felt more comfortable with my work. If something bothers me, I just say it to the person, and we find a solution. Since then, my journey at work are great and now I know how to defend myself when there's a fight between prisoners.

Choice 1 : The end

happy

Wait a minute.

I stayed either way because, I think that he is a really nice man. We had a great time, until he grabbed my tie which I wasn't comfortable with. I told him to move it he said that he wanted to show me how they treat prisoners that doesn't listen. I only have one options.

Choice 1 : RUN

no

Can't live like that.

I cannot work here no more, I feel watched and nobody wants to talk to me. It is time for me to leave.

Choice 1 : Go back to restart a new life

bullies

Loner, loner.

Since I said no, nobody wants to talk to me. I really feel that I should say yes. Days and weeks have passed and still, nobody wants to talk to me. I really feel like my boss is trying to flirt with me. I can't work in those conditions. It is time for me to leave. All that because I said, lets keep it professional.

Choice 1 : Go back to the beggining to have a better life

loner

Give me the green light.

I have been accepted in the program. Everyone is so happy for me, except for my boyfriend. He thinks that I made the wrong choice and that I should go to McGill with him. What he doesn't understand is that McGill wasn't one of my choices. I really love my boyfriend but I need to think about my future too. Oh no what should I do?

Choice 1 : Try to go to McGill

Choice 2 : It's my life, I do what I want

arguing

It's the Château Laurier.

I got accepted. Now I am in, Ottawa is such a beautiful city. I have to move away and leave with roommates. It's going to be so fun. I am really excited. All my classes sounds interesting, University life is not that hard. The first week, I've been invited to a party. I think I should go even though I have some homework to do.

Choice 1 : Go to the party

castle

Big Fail.

I really tried to get in McGill but I didn't have what they required. My boyfriend got really mad at me.When I told him I'll try to go to UDM, all he was doing was deter my choices. He broke up with me, leaving my like an old towel. I have no motivation on going to school. All I wanted to do was being happy and him by my side.

Choice 1 : Restart to make better choices

breakup

So long partner.

I left my boyfriend, I am not here to put my man before my academic choices. If he doesn't understand now, he will never understand it later. The University of Montreal is a really great place, being accepted was easy, now I can finally start my real challenges. Everything being great, I do my homework, I have good grades, I participate in class and all of my class are so interesting I pass all of them. It is now the time to do my internship.

Choice 1 : Do my internship in Youth Center

Choice 2 : Do my internship in a rehab

free

Baby, welcome to the party.

I decided to go to the party, University parties are so cool and so different.Every week I go to these parties. My homeworks are not that important. I decided to live life to the fullest. Months have passed and I did not touch a single book. When came my exam, I have decided to finally open my books. It was already too late. The day of my exam is here, and I am not ready, I only have one thing to do.

Choice 1 : Cheat on the test

party

Hands up.

The teacher caught me, they kicked me out of the school. It doesn't really matter because I like the party life. Every week, I go to the club and work as a bartender. Party life is the best life.

Choice 1 : Done

cheat

Youth and fun.

Working with teenagers are so fun, some wants to learn and for others they just want to be left alone. There's a little guy that bullies everyone. One time I told him that he should stay calm, and he spat on me and throw a heavy toy at me. I'm about to lose it, what am I supposed to do with him?

Choice 1 : Slap him and say that he should never do that again

Choice 2 : Stay calm and give him a lesson

youth center

Umm! No.

They fired me, the said that I should never raise my hand on a kid. They also kicked me out of the University. I'm so miserable, What have I done with my life.

Choice 1 : Restart your life to make better choices

hitting a kid

Smart Girl.

I put him in the corner and let him there until he apologies. He was sorry for his mistakes and gave me a cute drawing. The staff saw that I could handle those kinds of situations and that they are proud of me. They even said that when I finish my internships, I would have a place in the Youth Center. I am so lucky to already have a job. I finished all of my internships, it could've been better if there was a wage, but as a trainee, I learned all kinds of things. Since I really liked the Youth Center, I am going to work here and have this job as my career. I really feel comfortable with it, and I am happy with my choice.

Choice 1 : Done

communication

Too much things going on.

I got to work with people coming out of prison. It's really hard to work with them. Some have the motivations to have a better life, while others don't really care, and they just want to go out to do nothing. I cannot continue to push people, if they don't need my help what am I supposed to do. The rehab is not something for me. I should try to go with the kids.

Choice 1 : Choose wisely

rehab
