It all started like this.

I have been studying Youth and Adult Correctional Intervention at Ahuntsic College for 2 years now. To have my diploma I need to do 3 years of College in my field and then I will be done with College. Like a lot of students, I am not sure if it is better for me to go to university after College or to begin working in my field of study and gain some experience.

Choice 1 : Go to university and learn more.

Choice 2 : Let's do it, gain some experience.

Go to university and learn more.

Actually, I know that it's really hard to be admitted in Criminology at university because it is a contingent field. Also, even if I have very good grades and I made a lot of efforts at College, I am not sure if I am going to be accepted in Criminology. I would love to learn more and to have the chance to be in this program but maybe my grades are not enough good. I am not sure what I am supposed to do, try to submit a university registration request in Criminology or start working.

Choice 1 : Try to be admitted in Criminology.

Choice 2 : Start to work.

Let's do it, gain some experience.

At this point, I have to make a choice since in my field of study, I have a lot of choices for my future job. I have to decide if I want to work at a Correctional center or if I am better in with victims and social help.

Choice 1 : Work at a Correctional Center.

Choice 2 : Work with victims.

Try to be admitted in Criminology.

I am so happy, I am finally admitted in Criminology at the University of Montreal. In fact, I never thought I would be there one day because it is really hard to be accepted. I am so excited, and I am really proud of myself. I started this week, and the courses are really hard, and I have a lot of homework to do at home, sometimes I am really exhausted after school and I don't have energy to do my assignments. I know that I am really lucky to be here, but I am saying to myself that now that I am in the program I can relax and put my homework aside.

Choice 1 : Do my homework.

Choice 2 : Relax and party with new friends.

Start to work.

At this point, I have to make a choice since in my field of study, I have a lot of choices for my future job. I have to decide if I want to work at a Correctional center or if I am better in with victims and social help.

Choice 1 : Work at a Correctional Center.

Choice 2 : Work with victims.

Work at a Correctional Center.

It's my first day in my new job, I am really happy about it, but I am also really stressed since it's a new environment. My first day at the Correctional Center is stressful, I will be a trainee for 1 week, and I am happy about it because I will have the chance to learn while working. In fact, I will learn a lot because of my OJT. After only one day, I learned the skills and the ins-and-outs of the job. My trainer is very nice with me, and he's really comprehensive that makes my day less stressful, but he began to be a little weird.

Choice 1 : Leave the Correctional Center.

Choice 2 : Stay and talk to the HR.

Work with victims.

At this point, I decide to work with victims, so I am going to send some email to see if the HR are looking for employees. One week after sending emails, I receive an email telling me that accommodation houses for women were interested in hiring me. I was thinking about it and I became really stressed because these victims are really fragile. I need to decide if I try or if I lose my chance.

Choice 1 : Try to work at the accommodation house.

Choice 2 : Lose my chance.

Do my homework.

Every night I started to do my homework even if sometimes it can be maddening, I started to have straight A's because of my hard work, and I was really happy about it. I made to choice to stop procrastinating and to stop to putting aside my homework, and so I was the best in my class, and I was less stressed. I finally finished my program and I have my diploma, now I need to decide if I want to go work or to go all over the planet to do some volunteering abroad!

Choice 1 : New work, new life.

Choice 2 : An experience, volunteering abroad.

Relax and party with new friends.

It's time to party, I am young and full of energy so it's time to enjoy my life. My grades are going down, and I am not doing so well, I am failing all of my courses. I think that I should stop school and live my life.

Choice 1 : Stop school.

Choice 2 : Stay in school.

Try to work at the accommodation house.

I started my internship in the accommodation house. I am really happy because it's a way to put a foot in the door and to learn the ropes of an institution. I am trying my best here to talk with the victims and to help them, but I don't think that the job is for me since it's a dark place and it makes me sad sometimes.

Lose my chance.

Now that I didn't try to work at the accommodation house, I have the choice to get a job at a convenience store near my house or to go volunteering abroad.

Choice 1 : Convenience store.

Choice 2 : An experience, volunteering abroad.

New work, new life.

I started to work in a Correctional Center and I am really happy about it, I love my new job and I think that I will stay here for a long time because I am really happy to work here with a great team.

I am going at the Dominican Republic to help young kids by building a new school for them. I am really excited to learn more about their culture and to help them to have a better life. I am taking the plane in 1 hour, and I am happy to give these people a chance to have a better life.

Stop school.

My life is over I am desperate, and I really don't know what to do since I am no longer at school.

Choice 1 : Convenience store.

Choice 2 : An experience, volunteering abroad.

Stay in school.

I decided to stay in school, I have to do big effort to have good grades. I started to be a better student because I had the chance to be here that's what I am telling myself. So, I need to be more productive and stop procrastinate.

Choice 1 : Do my homework.

Convenience store.

It's been 10 days that I have been here, I really don't like this job but I don't have any other choice because I don't know that want to do in life, this job is a dead-end job and it's not nice being here since I don't want to to this all my life but I need to have money to pay my bills.

Leave the Correctional Center.

It is really weird the way that the agent is talking to me, I decided to quit. Now I need to know what I am going to do.

Choice 1 : Convenience store.

Choice 2 : An experience, volunteering abroad.

Stay and talk to the HR.

The agent tried to flirt with me at first and I told him that he was king but I didn't want more with him, I was trying to deter him but it didn't work because he didn't stop texting me some weird messages. Once I had enough with his behavior, so I told the HR of the Correctional Center, and they saw the boy to talk about the situation. After the meeting they had, the boy stopped texting me.

Choice 1 : Leave the Correctional Center.

Choice 2 : An experience, volunteering abroad.
