After high school.

You just got your diploma. You have to choose between going to study Social Science or Special Care Counseling at Montmorency College.

You do not know what to do.

Choice 2 : Studying Special Care Counseling.

High school

Studying Social Science.

You choose to study Social Science. You have a lot of fun with your friends and it helps you forget that you hate your program. At the end of your first semester, you have failed all off your courses. This field of study wasn't for you, you should have made another choice.

Choice 1 : End!

Montmorency College

Studying Special Care Counseling.

You choose to study in Special Care Counseling and you are satisfied with this choice. You love this field of study and you have good grades. Now is the time to do your first internship. You have the choice of going to work in a youth center or an early childhood center. There is a vacant position at the youth center so maybe after your internship, you could be hired for the summer. If you do the internship at the early childhood center, you will have to work overtime to the number of hours planned for your internship. However, you will have a wage for these hours.

Choice 1 : Being an intern in a youth center.

Choice 2 : Being an intern in an early childhood center.

Choice

Being an intern in a youth center.

You chose the internship at the youth center. You love this job, you enjoy working with teenagers. But some of your colleagues are maddening and you don't like working with them very much. You are very competent and your superiors appreciate your good work. At the end of your internship because you already have a foot in the door, HR contacts you to offer to take the vacant position you had heard about. If you accept, you will not have to be a trainee because you have already done an internship there and you will have a premium wage. But you're not sure if you should quit school for this job, it's a big risk.

Choice 1 : Work at the youth center.

Choice 2 : Back to school.

Young centre.

Being an intern in an early childhood center.

You choose the internship at the early childhood center. You started your internship 1 month ago, you like working with children, you learn the ropes, you are good and children like you very much. However, the director of the center starts doing flirtation with you. You don't feel good about it and it becomes sexual harassment. You don't know if you should talk about it because you love working with kids and you don't want to leave them. But you still dread your superior.

Choice 1 : Talk about this situation.

Choice 2 : Don't talk about this situation.

 Sad child

Talk about this situation.

You discuss your superior's misconduct with your college program manager. You have achieved a fulfillment by exposing your predator, You are proud of yourself. Finally, you got a new internship. You become an intern in an elementary school. It's a leg work because you walk around the school to intervene with students in crisis. You like this experience very much, you learn a lot from your superior. She has a lot of experience because this is her last year before her retirement. She's a role model for you.

Choice 1 : End!

Let's talk.

Again, again and again...

You choose not to talk about it. Your perpetrator continues his sexual harassment. More often than not, you dread going to your internship in the morning. Finally you have a depression and you drop out of school.

Choice 1 : End!

Sexual harassment.

Work at the youth center.

You choose to work at the youth center. After 6 months working there, you still love working with teenagers but you are overwhelmed by office politics. Employees undermine each other. They are withholding important information about clients for them to harm their coworkers. You don't know if you should keep going through this, hoping it will get better soon, or try to find solutions.

Choice 1 : Do nothing.

Choice 2 : Find solutions.

Office Politics

Back to school.
