The Different Paths My Life Could Have Taken.

The end of my high school.

I have just received my high school diploma and I must now decide which college I want to go. As I want to become a teacher, there is no specific college that I must take. I am however interested in two colleges in particular.

Choice 1 : Go to Lionel-Groulx College.

Choice 2 : Go to Montmorency College.

congratulation

Go to Lionel-Groulx College.

I know I will pull off at this college because I am moving with my best friend in residence, and she really is a straight A's. I spent two beautiful years in the Social Science program. I had more difficulty than I thought though. Lucky that my friend showed me how to have good time management. Now is the time to choose my university. Which one to choose?

Choice 1 : Montreal University.

Choice 2 : Laval University.

college

Go to Montmorency College.

I know my years at this college would be too easy since my mom is a teacher there. A year after I arrived, I unfortunately got caught cheating during a ministerial exam. I even gave two students bribes to help me succeed. I was sure my plan was ingrained. I was immediately fired, my mother was furious. There was nothing more for me to do, my mother sent me away from home, I had to move at my grandfather’s house.

Choice 1 : I have to move at my grandfather’s house.

college

Montreal University.

I decided to go study in Montreal since it was close to home, so I won't have a lot of road to do. During my university’s years, I put aside my social life because I really want to focus on my study. I also had to do a lot of internships, which made my days fun but busy. The fact that they were achieved through on-the-job training really helped me to learn the ropes of my future job. I finished my university and just received two job offers. What should I choose?

Choice 1 : Working in a daycare.

Choice 2 : Teaching in high school.

University

Laval University.

I decided to go to Quebec because I needed to get away from my mother, I always quarrel with her. It can only do me good. I learned at the last second that my roommate in my college residence was a boy, there was no other place available anyway. I’m in a struggle.

Choice 1 : I agree to leave with him.

Choice 2 : I decide to buy an apartment.

University

I agree to leave with him.

I agree to live with him, since the residences are cheap, and I don't want to waste my money. However, I didn't know that this man was malicious. Unfortunately, I have been a victim of sexual harassment on several occasions by him. This man was a real aggressor. I dreaded for a long time before I was able to pull myself out of this situation. I had to go back to my mother and I fell into depression.

Choice 1 : I took a four-year break from my studies.

Choice 2 : I returned to the Montreal University the following year.

residence

I decide to buy an apartment.

I decided to buy an apartment because I don't like living with strangers, especially less with a man. I had the chance to meet extraordinary people at Laval University. None of my works have been rendered cursorily. I studied thoroughly until the end, which allowed me to receive a scholarship to go to do an internship abroad. I'm leaving for Spain tomorrow, I can't wait to teach there!

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

appartment

I have to move at my grandfather’s house.

It was not a great penance to go live with my grandfather since he always spoiled me. He made me breakfast every morning and allowed me to see my friends. I had to find a job to support myself. So, I never went back to school and I ended up staying with my grandfather for 5 years. I just got fired from my job, they caught me theft cigarettes. My life is screwed up.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

Grandfather

Working in a daycare.

I have been working in this daycare for three years now, and I am exhausted. This job is really not worthwhile because I always work overtime without being paid double time. I should be rewarded for all of my fulfillment in the business. I know there is a lack of staff missing, so I am reluctant to resign. What should I do?

Choice 1 : I resign.

Choice 2 : I stay.

daycare

Teaching in high school.

It will be almost a year that I am a teacher, and I am completely in love with the students. What I find most difficult is getting along with my co-workers. Since I received an increased salary because I managed to increase the marks of five students with learning difficulties, one of my co-workers got very jealous of me. She always undermines me and always tries to get suck up me in her professional mistakes. His jealousy will not hinder me from persevering in my dream job and working there until I am 47 years old. This career is the best I could have had.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

high school

I took a four-year break from my studies.

This event completely upset me and made me depressed. I unfortunately got pregnant of my perpetrator and I decide to keep the baby. My career is ruined. I am 20 years old and have one child, homeless, and single. I am completely devastated.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

depression

I returned to the Montreal University the following year.

Coming home did me a lot of good. I got closer to my mother and my psychologist helped me through my sexual assault. I am not completely healed, but I am ready to go back to school. Life does things well! I managed to finish my studies, and I was hired as an elementary school teacher near my home. Besides doing what turns me on, I know I will have a great retirement. I therefore don't need to set aside a lot of money asides, since my job does it for me. My life is now making all its sense, I am happy more than ever. Is now time to plan my retirement.

Choice 1 : To go live in a hot country.

Choice 2 : To go around the world on a motorcycle.

Choice 3 : To go volunteering in Africa.

University

I resign.

The day before I left, I won the lottery. It was the best scenario that could have happened to me. I am 30 years old, and I am a billionaire!

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

resign

I stay.

I decided to stay because I don't want to go back to the job market. I'm really in dead-end. Thirteen years later, my boss quit and I buy the business. It has to believe that my purposes have come true.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

daycare

To go live in a hot country.

I have always dreamed of living in a country where there is no snow and where I can walk in a tee shirt every day of the year. Where should I go to live?

Choice 1 : To go live in California.

Choice 2 : To go live in Mexico.

palm

To go around the world on a motorcycle.

During my trip, I met the love of my life. He invited me to live with him in India, is that a good idea?

Choice 1 : I said yes.

motor

To go volunteering in Africa.

I enjoyed this experience so much that I decided to teach for free in Africa for four years. My goal was only to make happy those children who were in-depth dead-end. Every moment spent with them has been invaluable. I will never forget them.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

Africa

To go live in California.

I am in heaven here. I am proud of what I had to accomplish to make it here. Life is beautiful.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

California

To go live in Mexico.

A year after settling in Mexico, I realized that I didn't like this country. I have finally decided to move in California for the rest of my life.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.

Mexico

I said yes.

I agreed to live with him, now is the time for me to rest. Five years have already passed, my husband has just died, I will be sad the rest of my life.

Choice 1 : The end of my high school.
