My Future.

High School.

It's the end of my last year of high school at Saint-Gabriel. I was a good student and my grades were pretty average. I'm an excellent soccer player but I don't enjoy the sport no more. I got accepted at Lionel-Groulx College but I also got a scholarship in California. I know I have to make the right choice for my future. Do I go at Lionel-Groulx with all of my friends or, do I go and try to make a life in a sport that I don't enjoy anymore?

Choice 1 : Lionel-Groulx College.

Choice 2 : California.

Lionel-Groulx College.

I finally decided to go to Lionel-Groulx College in Social-Sciences. I'm now with all of my friends and trying to graduate. I decided to go in Social-Sciences because I want to be a criminologist. To get into criminology in University, I need to get at least an R score of 27. Since I know that I am an average student when it comes to grades, I need to make a choice. Do I try to finish my years of College in 2 years? Or, do I take my time, try to get the best R score I can and enjoy my time with my friends?

Choice 1 : Finish College in 2 years.

Choice 2 : Take my Time.

Lionel-Groulx College

Finish College in 2 years.

I decided to try to finish College as soon as possible. I didn't go to parties, didn't get a dead-end job and didn't drink or anything of that sort. The only thing I did is studying and studying for 2 years straight. These 2 years really stressed me out but in the end, I finish with an R score of 31. Now I'm at the verge of going to university, with no girlfriend, no job and no money. The choices before me are going to the University of Montreal away from my home and friends but, with a better criminology program. Or, going to The University of Laval, close from everyone I know but, with a mediocre criminology program.

Choice 1 : University of Montreal.

Choice 2 : University of Laval.

University of Montreal.

I decided to go to the University of Montreal because of their criminology program. I don't know anyone in my program but it doesn't really matter because I'm mainly there to focus and to try to work as a criminologist. I now finished all of my years and graduated. I need to decide if I leave Canada to go to the USA where being a criminologist is more requested and get paid better or, to stay in Canada and try to make it even if it's really hard.

Choice 1 : Go to the USA.

Choice 2 : Stay in Canada.

Go to the USA.

I finally reached my destination. I decided to go to the USA to become a criminologist and it worked! I am non a high level criminologist for the NYPD. It as been 9 years since I started working for the NYPD and if I stayed with them for another year, I would be promoted to chief of the department. I already make a good amount of money per year and got a little condo downtown. I am happy with everything.

Choice 1 : New Story

Stay in Canada.

I decided to stay in Canada because it's everything I know. I work for a little police department in Quebec as a criminologist but not at a high level. I win a mediocre amount of money every year but it's enough to buy all of my needs and to pay my bills. I live in an apartment in Trois-Rivières. Being a criminologist is not what I expected...

Choice 1 : New Story

University of Laval.

I decided to go to the University of Laval because it is closer to home. The criminology program is not the best and I don't know if I want to do that anymore. I met a girl that I really like, and she likes me back. She's a traveler and want me to join her in her next trip. Should I go with her or should I stay to finish my studies even though I don't know what I want to do anymore?

Choice 1 : Go with Her.

Choice 2 : Stay here.

Go with Her.

I decided to go with her on her next trip. It was the best time of my life! We ended up traveling around the world and now we are in Paris. We decided to stay here for a little while. Now it has been 10 years since we live here. We are now married, I got a job as a chef in a restaurant, and we live happily.

Choice 1 : New Story

Stay here.

I decided to stay here and not go with her. I thought it would be better for my future if I stay here but I don't think it's better for my happiness. I continued to study in criminology but, I don't enjoy it anymore. I started to get a little depressed by everything and decided to drop out. I'm now living with my parents and working a full time job at Reno Depot for an average salary.

Choice 1 : New Story

Take my Time.

I decided to not stress out and, to not rush my time in college. I studied here and there but for the most time at this college, I partied and chilled with my friends. I met a lot of new people and got myself a girlfriend. I have a part-time job in a coffee shop. I started to play guitar and to sing. I really love it and want to make it a profession but I know that it is hard to become an artist, especially in Canada. Should I drop out and try to make it as an artist or should I finish my studies and try to get a decent job?

Choice 1 : Drop Out.

Choice 2 : Finish my Studies.

Drop Out.

I finally decided to drop out to try to make it as an artist. I started to drop some songs that I wrote and recorded on SoundCloud but, they weren't doing good. I then decided to start and perform in bars where I know a lot of people would film me and post it on their social media to get the attention I need to make it. After a while, a video that someone took of me singing in a bar got on YouTube and had around 1 million views. I then got contacted by the label Lyrical Lemonade and signed with them. It was the start of my career as an artist.

Choice 1 : New Story

Finish my Studies.

I decided to not drop out and to finish my studies. At first, I thought I made the right choice but slowly, I started regretting my choice. At this point, I knew it was too late to become an artist and to make a living out of it. I forced myself to finish my studies and didn't think about my happiness but only about the money and what job makes the most money. I found out that lawyers makes around $144 thousands a year. With that information, I had a choice to make. Do I go into law school or do I think about it and about what makes me happy?

Choice 1 : Law School.

Choice 2 : My Happiness.

Law School.

I decided to go into law school. At first, I was thinking about all the money I would make and how it's going to make me happy but, I was wrong. I finished my years in law school and became a lawyer. I really don't like this job. I earn a good amount of money every year, more than I need, so I could say that I'm comfortable money wise but, I am not happy.

Choice 1 : New Story

My Happiness.

I decided to think about me and not about the money. What I did was I after I finished my studies in college, I didn't go to university. I found myself a job and worked on my music. I found myself some friends who were a lot into music too, and we started a band. I know that we can't make it into the music industry but it's a good pastime and makes me happy. I live in an apartment and win around $65 thousands a year. I'm not the most comfortable money wise but at least I am happy.

Choice 1 : New Story

California.

I decided to take the scholarship and go to California. I know that I don't enjoy soccer as I used to but, who can say no to a scholarship? I thought to myself that if I play every day at a high level, I can make myself love this sport again. I was right. I love this sport more than I ever did. I play every day at my hardest but got injured trying to do stupid stuff. Now they are starting to cut some people of the team but if they know I'm injured and can't play, I think they would cut me off. I have to make a choice, play even if I'm injured or, tell them about my injury.

Choice 1 : Play with Injury.

Choice 2 : Tell them about it.

Play with Injury.

I decided to play with my injury. I couldn't risk seeing all of my efforts go down the drain just because I was hurt. I started playing and everything was fine. Before the practice, I took some pain killers to make my injury feel numb. Let me say that it was a bad idea to play. Around the 15-minute marks, I started to feel the pain again but it was worsts than before. Then, I got tackle and broke my ankle this time. When I got to the hospital, the doctor said that he doesn't know if I would ever be able to play again. It was the end of my career as a soccer player.

Choice 1 : New Story

Tell them about it.

For my well-being, I decided to tell them about my injury. Everything that I feared they would say, they didn't. They said it's best if I don't play and I won't be cut off because they know what I can do. After a few months, I'm back on the field. I was the star of the team and got asked by a few recruiters if I wanted to join their club. I have 2 choices, Toronto FC, or LA Galaxy.

Choice 1 : Toronto FC.

Choice 2 : LA Galaxy.

Toronto FC.

I decided to join the club Toronto FC. We have practice every day for 2 hours and everything is good. I played a few match as a substitute but I'm starting to play more and more every game. After a few months, I'm finally on the starting 11 and scored a few goals in the league. I'm not at the top of the team, but I am getting there.

Choice 1 : New Story

LA Galaxy.

I decided to join the club LA Galaxy. We have practice every day for 2 hours and everything is good. I played a few match as a substitute but I'm starting to play more and more every game. After a few months, I'm finally on the starting 11 and scored a few goals in the league. I'm not at the top of the team, but I am getting there.
