My career as a computer science technician.

This is how everything started.

It's your last session at Montmorency College and you have to decide what will you do with your life after you graduate from college. You have a couple of decisions going through your head.

Choice 1 : You choose to go to UQAM university

Choice 2 : You take a break from school

Picture representing the different options that were in my head at that time

Scene 1.

You just wake up and realize it's you first day at UQAM University. You prepare yourself for your first class that starts at 9:50. You're excited but anxious at the same time. By the time you come to your first class, you realize that you're in the same class as John, your ex-friend that your mom dislikes so much. Your mom even dislikes his parents, and thinks that you should stay away from John or else he'll cause you troubles. He decides to sit next to you.

Choice 1 : You drop this semester

Choice 2 : You have a talk with John on your next class and tell him that you wouldn't like him talking to you

UQAM University

Scene 2.

When your class finishes, you decide to go to the secretary and tell her that the best option for you was to take a session off because you need to. She hands you back the money. After that, you decide to call your mom to announce her your decision. Your mom is very angry because you took this decision without asking her anything. She thinks your losing your time and tells you to not come back home until you register yourself back to college. You know that once your decision is taken, you can't go back.

Choice 1 : You don't care and you come back home

Choice 2 : You call your best friend Marc and tell him if you can sleep at his house.

School dropout

Scene 3.

Your mom just told you to not come back but you decide that you're old enough to take your own decisions. You start to play on your PlayStation. Your mom comes home later during the day. She's furious by the fact that you dropped out of school and you also don't listen to your mom.

Choice 1 : You don't listen to you mom directives

Gamer boy

Scene 4.

Your mom realizes that the only way for you to listen to her, is by taking away your phone. She then forces you to find a full-time job as an experience and to earn extra money whilst doing nothing because of school.

Choice 1 : Start again

Finding a job

Scene 5.

You realize that you've worked quite well these last months and that you need a well-deserved break far from Canada to relax. You decide to take a vacation to Mexico because you know it's always sunny and hot over there.

Choice 1 : Book your flight and enjoy your vacation

Choice 2 : You come too late to enter the plane

Mexico

Scene 6.

Your flight is booked. You are now stress-free. In about a week, you'll be topless, wearing a swim suit and sandals. You will be relaxing on the beach whilst taking a nap and getting a tan. Later that night, you receive an email from your old teacher Mr. smith, while in college. He told you that he had to choose his 5 best students from last year to go to Switzerland and study there. He tells you that it could be a life-changing situation because you might have the chance to be selected to go to Switzerland's best informatics university. You realize that this offer interest you, but it's when you are in Mexico.

Choice 1 : Decline that offer and enjoy your trip to Mexico

Choice 2 : Cancel your flight to Mexico and book one to Switzerland

Choose the right path

Scene 7.

Why would you do this? You've just took a well-deserved break to go and relax. Let's say you would've gone to Switzerland, there still was a chance that you would've come back to Montreal with no offer from any university. You would have wasted your time. Damn it, these vacations are going to feel so good with them 30 degree temperatures and the beach close from your hotel. You just enjoy your vacations.

Choice 1 : Start again

Scene 8.

It's been about 5 years that you haven't talked to John. You're a bit anxious about telling him something of this caliber. You decide to tell him after class because it will start in less than 2 minutes. During class, your teacher tells you that you will work in pairs throughout the semester. The pairs are formed with the person you're sitting to next. That means it's John. What will you do?

You start running everywhere in the airport. You hope to arrive on time to gate 90 D. After a lot of searching, you finally arrived at your gate. You realize there's no line and find that weird.
