Electrical engineering

Start at the beginning.

I'm studying Sciences at Montmorency College to become an electrical engineer. It's my final year at college, and I'm really confused. I'm not sure which university I want to go to.

Choice 1 : Go to the University of Ottawa.

Choice 2 : Go to McGill University.

Choice 3 : Go to Concordia University.

College Montmorency

Go to the University of Ottawa.

I am happy that I have chosen to study at the University of Ottawa. I ended up moving to Ottawa. In fact, one of my mom's old friends' daughter lives in Ottawa. I'm now living at her house. She rented me a small room and gave me a tour around the city. I have made a lot of new friends and I love each one of my classes. After 3 years of study, this is my last year at university. I wonder where I should go after I finish my studies.

Choice 1 : Stay in Ottawa.

Choice 2 : Move back to Laval.

Choice 3 : Move to Toronto.

University of Ottawa

Go to McGill University.

I'm grateful I chose McGill University. Some of the classes were really hard and I had the impression I would never pass them. But still, I made it, and I will graduate this year. I also got accepted in the Engineering Internship Program that McGill University offers and I got some relevant work experience. The enterprise where I made the internship wants me to stay work for them. On top of that, I sent my CV to an Electrical Enterprise in Mexico. I got accepted in both of them, but now I don't know which one to accept. I would love to stay in Quebec at the enterprise where I made the internship because I know how it works and I'm comfortable there. But Mexico also sounds like a great idea, I would love to work in Spanish and live in a country I've never been at before. Where should I go?

Choice 1 : Stay in Quebec.

Choice 2 : Go to Mexico.

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Go to Concordia University.

Studying at Concordia University was the best choice I have ever made. I've enjoyed all these years of study. I had a great experience at University, and I met the love of my life. Things are getting complicated now because I got a job offer at the UK and I really think it's a great job opportunity for me. But my boyfriend is not happy about it. In fact, he is a lawyer, and he is already working here. He has a job he loves, and he doesn't want to leave it. I understand it, he has his own dreams but I have mine too. Jacob says that it's hard to keep a long distance relationship and that I could end up liking my life there and staying. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Stay in Quebec.

Choice 2 : Move to the UK.

Concordia University

Stay in Ottawa.

I decided to stay in Ottawa. I started looking for a job but I couldn't find one related to my field of study. One day, I was walking home when I recognized a girl I went high school with. Amanda was in my French class. We used to talk during that class, but we never really became friends, and we lost contact right after we graduated. She offered me to be her business partner in a small bakery she was planning to open in the city. She knew that my family already owned a bakery, and that I liked cooking and baking. I wasn't sure about it because accepting working with her meant in a small way that I was giving up on finding a job on my field of study. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Become Amanda's business partner.

Choice 2 : Keep on looking for a job related to my field of study.

Meeting a friend

Move back to Laval.

I decided to move back in with my parents in Laval and start to look for a job there. On my way back I got in a car accident and I lost both of my legs. It's been huge change in my life. I used to do my own stuff and now I depend on my parents and I'm not sure if I have the strength to keep going with my life. I wish I would never have gotten into that car in the first place.

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.

Move to Toronto.

I decided to move to Toronto. I live with my big brother and his wife now. He got me a job at the enterprise he's working at right now. In fact, we became co-workers. I love working with him, but I don't like the job. I've been working here for three months now, and I have come to realize that it's a dead-end job. There is no way I will progress here. I am not learning new things and I'm just doing the same thing every day. Every one around me is doing the same thing but I don't plan to stay. Besides that, I have seen changes in my-sister-in-law's behaviour. She's not happy with me around her house. I understand that she wants some privacy, but I don't think the way she's acting right now is okay. It was a mistake coming here.

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.

Sad

Stay in Quebec.

I decided to move back in with my parents in Laval and start to look for a job in Quebec. I met a guy a few weeks after I got here. We started dating and three months later I got pregnant. I am desperate because I've never wanted to have kids, and aborting is not an option for me. Just like me, having kids isn't one of his dreams, and he doesn't feel ready to do it. So, I'm in this alone now. I wish I would never have met him.

Go to Mexico.

I chose to move to Mexico. I started working at a huge electrical enterprise. I also met a lot of new people and I used all my free time to visit Mexico City. It's been five years I'm here and I love everything about it. I met a guy three years after I got to Mexico, and we're getting married next year. We've been living together for one year. We also bought two dogs a few months ago. I love how my life turned out, and I wouldn't change anything about it.

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.

Couple in Mexico

Stay in Quebec.

I decided to stay in Quebec with my boyfriend. He is really I decided to do that but I feel that I lost a huge opportunity. We broke up six months after all this happened and I regret it so much. I will never know how great things would have turned out to be if I had gone there.

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.

Couple breaking up

Move to the UK.

I decided to move to the UK. It's been six months I'm living here. Jacob and I broke up one month after I arrived here. It's been really hard for me but I think I made the right choice. After all, I have to do what's best for me. I work now with a wonderful team of women. I really miss my family and I wish I could see them soon. On the other hand, Jacob was right. I love it here and I think I will stay where I am.

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.

Women

Become Amanda's business partner.

I decided to become Amanda's business partner. We opened the bakery 3 months after we met. I love working here. I live close by the bakery and I think it's the best thing ever. We are making a huge progress, every day we receive new clients, and we try to provide the best service we can. I stopped looking for a job a few months ago. I think I will stay working here, I love this job. A few years ago, I wouldn't have believed that I would end up working in something like this. I guess that's life, you never know what might happen or who you might meet in the street, and how it would change your life.

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.

Bakery

Keep on looking for a job related to my field of study.

I decided to keep on looking for a job related to my field of study. It's been a year and I haven't received a call from any enterprise I applied to. Sometimes, I go get bread at Amanda's new bakery. It's a huge success and I'm really happy for her. Sometimes, I wonder what could have happened if I had accepted her offer. I will move in with my parents in a few weeks. I guess working here wasn't made for me.

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.
