My Career Path.

Choosing my destiny.

I finally finished my college as a science student! I’ve always dreamed of entering university to become a dentist. However, all of my friends dropped out of school and were working, saving money, and traveling the world. I wished that I could do the same. Should I pursue my dream or enjoy the moment?

Choice 1 : Continue my studies.

Choice 2 : End my studies.

university

Continue my studies.

It is the second week of the semester, and my teachers had already begun piling on the homework. After dinner, I decided to complete my homework, so I don't get late. However, at that moment, I received a message from my friend telling me that she invites me over to watch a movie. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Go to my friend's house.

Choice 2 : Stay at home to complete my homework.

books

End my studies.

I wanted to get a job to start saving as soon as possible, however, my friend Halley was willing to volunteer abroad, and she asked me to come with her. For me, working a dead-end-job was way more meaningful because I could at least earn a premium wage. Nevertheless, I didn't want to disappoint my friend. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Accept her request

Choice 2 : Politely decline her request

friends

Go to my friend's house.

I gave my General Human Anatomy homework a cursory glance and made a snap decision about my time management. I decided to put aside my assignment to spend some time with my friend. The time went by so fast that I completely forgot about my school task. I came back home exhausted, and I didn't do the homework. The next day I was surprised that a had an oral anatomy test that I completely forgot about. I wasn't prepared at all, luckily, the girl next to me always had straight A's. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Cheat

Choice 2 : Assume my irresponsibility.

surprised

Stay at home to complete my homework.

I still pulled off and remembered how important is it for me to focus on my studies to be able to reach my purpose. I ended up doing thoroughly my homework. I studied hard for the next years. It was my last year of baccalaureates, it was time for me to do my internship to learn the ropes of my career. They gave two options either I could do it at a clinic or at the hospital. What do I pick?

Choice 1 : Do my internship at a clinic.

Choice 2 : Do my internship at a hospital.

homework

Accept her request.

Even though I wasn’t convinced, I ended up going with her. When I came back, I was amazed at how much I learned in such a small period. Just the feeling of making a difference in people's life is on its own invaluable. Also, volunteering gave me the opportunity to see in-depth how less fortunate people were living their life, so I could recognize how blessed I was. The advantages of this experience definitely outweigh the disadvantages. I couldn't wait to go back again!

Choice 1 : THE END

volunteering

Politely decline her request.

I found a full-time job in a company, and I had an interview with the HR. Halfway to the job interview, I realized that I forgot my curriculum vitae. The problem is that there were only fifteen minutes left before my appointment, and the time for me to go get my CV and come back, I would definitely be late for the interview. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Bring my CV.

Choice 2 : Go to the interview without CV.

job

Bring my CV.

As predicted, I arrived ten minutes late. Lucky enough, the person before me took a lot of time in his interview, so nobody noticed my delay. I passed my interview, and they immediately hired me. They asked me if I want to work full-time or part-time. What should I choose?

Choice 1 : Full-time

Choice 2 : Part-time

late

Go to the interview without CV.

When I arrived at the interview, they told me that they couldn't let me in without a CV. I tried to justify myself and beg them to give me a second chance but in vain. I was really disappointed, however, I learned an important lesson that I should prepare myself in advance to avoid committing such mistakes.

Choice 1 : THE END

interview

Full-time.

I started the on-the-job-training, and I totally hated the experience. I was really excited to learn something new, but I wasn't expecting the drawbacks of being a trainee. Indeed, my trainer instead of teaching me the ins-and-outs of the job decided to teach me according to his bias. He focused on the superficial details of the job instead of focusing on the basics. He also had an unprofessional attitude. After giving him a consistent warning, he kept ignoring my complaints. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Complain to the employer

Choice 2 : Continue the OJT.

training

Part-time.

When I came back home, my mom told me that she needed me to keep with my sister at the weekends because she had a change in her work schedule. Unfortunately, it was the same day as my work, so I left my work before even starting it and I forgot about working again at least until my sister becomes older.

Choice 1 : THE END

sister

Complain to the employer.

I wasn't satisfied, so I went to the employer to report the low-quality OJT I received. He completely ignored my statement, I felt so powerless at that moment, so I quit the job.

Choice 1 : THE END

employer

Continue the OJT.

I finally finished my training and started working. However, my colleagues were more often than not undermining each other. Indeed, they were constantly getting sucked up in the dismissal of their workmates, and the office politics were the conduct everyone went by. Withholding important information eventually hindered the involvement of the work. I couldn't stand such a toxic environment, so I resigned hoping that my next working experience will be better.

Choice 1 : THE END

colleagues

Cheat.

I was copying the answers when the supervisor caught me cheating. I was really anxious, I started sweating. They brought me to the administration. I fell in tears when I heard the sanction; they expelled me from university, and they even mentioned my plagiarism in my academic record. My dream fell apart!

Choice 1 : THE END

cheat

Assume my irresponsibility.

The test was easier than expected, it was about identifying the Tooth Enamel, the Tooth Dentin, the Cementum, the Dental Pulp, the Periodontal Ligament, the Gum Tissue, and the Bone. I, of course, couldn't answer everything, but I did my best. Since that moment, I realized the consequences of procrastinating, so I became way more thoughtful regarding my school assignments.

Choice 1 : THE END

exam

Do my internship at a clinic.

It was my first day in the dental clinic, the number of patients was ridiculous. I was overwhelmed and completely exhausted. Fortunately, there was only one patient left. He had an allergy to beta-lactams, and he wanted me to prescribe an antibiotic. I hesitated between two treatments; Erythromycin, and Roxithromycin. I was looking for assistance, but no one seemed to be available. I was too tired to wait, which antibiotic should I pick?

Choice 1 : Erythromycin.

Choice 2 : Roxithromycin.

clinic

Do my internship at a hospital.

It was my first day as an intern at the hospital. I was doing for cavity filling to a patient. We were chit-chatting throughout the process. He started flirting with me and asked me to give him my phone number. I was attracted to him but was still hesitating. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Accept

Choice 2 : Refuse

flirting

Accept.

Kevin, the patient to whom I gave my number, was calling me on a daily basis for months. After that, we started dating, he told me that he fell in love with me, at first sight, the moment he saw me at the clinic. Years after we got married, I stopped my studies, and we moved to the United States to start a small-business together.

Choice 1 : THE END

ring

Refuse.

Since that day, I've waited for him to come back, but unfortunately, he never did. I was so sad at the idea of never seeing him again. Slowly, I became depressed, and quit my studies.

Choice 1 : THE END

sad

Erythromycin.

After two weeks, the patient came back for his second appointment. Luckily the treatment I prescribed was the right one, it healed his infection. My supervisor was impressed by my skills. Months later, I succeed in my internship, and I finally did the biggest accomplishment of my life, I realized my dream by graduating. No words could've described my feelings, I was beyond grateful!

Choice 1 : THE END

graduation

Roxithromycin.

The treatment I prescribed was the wrong one! The patient allergy infection got even worst. He denounced me to my trainer, I was so embarrassed. Hopefully, my trainer was really nice, he didn't make a big deal out of it, but I still failed in my internship, I lost the opportunity to gain an expertise, and to make my profile stronger. However, months later, I got my diploma, I was so happy, I promised myself that I will be more careful when I give any prescription to my patients.

Choice 1 : THE END
