After my Cegep.

For the past three years, I've been at school. Ive done a scholarship to learn the functions of a social worker. In a few months, I’ll be about to leave the Cegep. So, it’s time for me to make decisions that will have an impact for the rest of my life. There are a number of things that came up. I have few options available. I can either take a sabbatical year, go to college or I could stard my career definitely.

Choice 1 : Sabbatical year.

Choice 2 : University.

Choice 3 : Work.

Sabbatical year.

I decided to take a year to think about myself, to think about what I really want. I want to try to make photography by taking pictures of animals in their natural environment. I was also offered to go and pick fruit in Colombia to make as much money as possible. The last choice I have is to go and volunteer in the countries of the South.

Choice 1 : Australia.

Choice 2 : Picking fruits.

Choice 3 : Volunteering Abroad.

University.

When I made the choice to continue on the school benches I had to choose the university that was going to be my home for the next 4 years. The University of Sherbrooke, the University of Laval and the University of the United States were recommended to me. I then applied to these three schools.

Choice 1 : Sherbrooke.

Choice 2 : Laval.

Choice 3 : US University.

Work.

After my technique as social workers. I have several choices. I would like to continue working at the gas station I am currently working at, because it will allow me to reduce stress factors and not leave my comfort zone. The principal of the high school in St-Marie also offered me a position as a social worker at his school. I also seriously think about not finding a job at all and living my life in total freedom.

Choice 1 : Gas station.

Choice 2 : School

Choice 3 : No job

Australia.

During my trip to Australia, I started by doing photography. I’m going to take wild animals, children playing in the streets. I wanted to take pictures of the daily lives of people living in Australia. Soon after, a group of veterinarians recruited me to be part of their team. They recruited me to save animals on the side of the road. I loved that experience. Driving day in and day out a terrible accident happened. You have to understand that in Australia the roads are full of wild animals. While I was texting at the wheel, I wasn’t looking at the road, a kangaroo jumped on of my car's windshield. I lost control of it and went into the forest. Then, the black hole!

Choice 1 : Save animals

Choice 2 : Accident with kangaroo

Choice 3 : Photography

On the Job training.

By going on a trip to collect fruit, the leaders forced me to do on-the-job-training. I told them I was raised on a farm working in the fields, but no one believed me. He didn’t think I was employing him. I had to be dragged for several months. The executives were then biased. There were certainly benefits and drawback. There was more drawback than benefit. I spent more than 12 hours outside at 42 heat. I used to bite mosquitoes all the time, and I didn’t put up with the people who worked with me, because he wouldn’t stop smoking drugs, and he would do anything. The only thing that motivated me to stay there was the money I was getting. I was paying $90 for an hour’s work.

Choice 1 : Fire.

Fire.

While I was working in the forest picking fruit, I felt an abundant heat and a smell of smoke. I realized that the forest was on fire. The people in the group who smoked had escaped from their lighter still light up in the forest drying out by the abundant heat. I went back to Canada.

Choice 1 : After my Cegep.

Volunteering Abroad.

During my sabbatical year, I went to volunteer in poor countries. My purpose was to put into practice what I was learning at school in order to confirm or eliminate my career choice. What bothered me was receiving no premium wage. I was afraid I was going to run out of money. On the other hand, what I was doing was more invaluable than all the money in the world. The help I gave to people in need was indispensable, it was a job that required in-depth practice. After 6 months of work, I found myself in a dead-end position. The children I was helping hit me so hard that I suffered a severe head injury. I then returned to Canada, went back to the school bench and redirected my field of study.

Choice 1 : After my Cegep.

Sherbrooke.

I finally decided to opt for the University of Sherbrooke. I wanted to go to a small university where the professors would be more available and where the atmosphere of belonging would be present. I had two behavioral choices to make. Either I studied a lot to focus on my professional career, or I took advantage of this moment of my life to have fun, make connections with new friends, party. Just get my life over with.

Choice 1 : Study a lot.

Choice 2 : Do the party

Study.

My efforts to succeed and have good grades have finally borne fruit. I chose the view of success rather than the view of failure. I wanted my loved ones to be proud of me. So, I studied more than 25 hours a week. I devoted all my free time to my studies, and now I opt to become a sexologist.

Choice 1 : Sexologist.

Party.

After a year at school at university, I was tired of taking my high-school role seriously, and I told myself that we had only one life to live. So, I gave up the adult things of classes to take advantage of it to party, drink with my friends. I almost never studied. For the first time in my life, I made the choice to think with my trips and simply breathe and taste happiness.However, this means that I failed in my studies.

Choice 1 : Fail.

Fail.

I failed because I decided to celebrate life. I decided to choose fun rather than my career. I was no longer in any of my subjects. I had lost nearly $10,000 to partying and not dedicating myself to the future. I had no choice but to go back. I was broke, I had no money. So, I went back to Cegep to do another technique to enter the work walk.

Choice 1 : After my Cegep.

Sexologist.

I realized my dream of becoming a sexologist renowned in my field. I graduated from university with my degree in hand in April 2005. I was proud that I didn’t give in to the temptation to go on the other side and party. I wanted to succeed and I did it. I left my own private office. I had a huge demand for follow-up. I even had a pedophile.

Choice 1 : Pedophile.

Choice 2 : A lot of clients

Pedophile.

My very first client with whom I started a follow-up noted that he had a strong sexual attraction to children. I did not know how to react with this. I continued to meet this person because I was confident in my abilities. I was confident that I could change his mindset. His desire never diminished. I could no longer keep him going. This person had less of the unresolved difficulties of my past. I couldn’t help anyone after that. I spoke to the police officer about the actions of this person. I broke my confidentiality relationship, but I didn’t care, I had to do it for the good of the community. I didn’t want to do it anymore. I didn’t want to see the worst atrocities that people had committed. I went back to Cegep to change my career plans.

Choice 1 : After my Cegep.

A lot of clients.

Every week, I had 15 new follow-up requests for clients. By word of mouth, my very rare specialization and the great demand for service I did not provide. I had to make a message on my answering machine to screen out calls automatically, so I wouldn’t overflow. I was self-employed, so I didn’t have a secretary. I was completely alone in all this. I was fulfilled, because I saw that I was different and that I allowed people to walk with their respective demos. I realized my dream. I took the time necessary with each person to help them. I was doing additional training to learn new skills. I couldn’t think of anything better.

Choice 1 : After my Cegep.

Laval.

When I left Cegep, I also applied to the University de Laval. I wanted to live in the big cities. I had never had the chance to experience it. I didn’t know how life was there. I wanted to be in the midst of all these people. I wanted to go to a large Cegep to experience the immensity of the place. I wanted to live in traffic, I wanted to be close to shopping malls, I wanted to live like a little town girl anyway. Unfortunately, I was not accepted. My program that I was aiming for was far too limited for the grades that I had during my college career. So, I had to change course of study.

Choice 1 : Not accepted

Choice 1 :

Sexual Harassment.

While I was working in school as social workers. A man started to advance me. He wanted to flirt with me. I dread it a lot because I had a husband and children I loved. I didn’t know what to do. I tried several times to tell him to continue. But he did not listen to me. He followed me wherever I went. I spoke to one of my friends who told me that she too had been the recipient of her misconduct for several years and the only way she had found was to yield to him. My perpetrator was attractive. I liked him. I had two options. Either I let my husband down and started a life with him to have peace. Or I denounced him to the authority.

Choice 1 : Married.

Choice 2 : Denounced

Married.

I finally married my perpetrator. I had two other children. I was not happy in this toxic relaxation, but I had no choice but to continue like this if I wanted to spare others from his misconducts.

Choice 1 : After my Cegep.

Denonced.

I decided to denounce my perpetrator to the authorities so that he would stop doing this kind of thing to women. I was afraid of the consequences. I had to fill out many forms, write down observable and measurable facts. I had to show my bruises, do gynecological analysis. I had to pass many tests. However, the time to go to court was so long. I had to testify before the court with the judge to have him convicted. However, I found it so long, so the idea of killing him quickly came to mind.

Choice 1 : Kill.

Choice 2 : Go to court.

Kill.

I killed the attacker and I stubborn him with the help of my husband. I wanted to continue living a happy, and peaceful life with my children. The time was too long before the trial, and I couldn’t live in fear all that time. I took the only option that seemed realistic to me for this kind of person. I changed my career plan because I could no longer continue to work in my field because of the risk of suspicion. I went back to CEGEP.

Choice 1 : After my Cegep.

Go to court.

I went to court to give my perpetrator a verbal trial. I didn’t want him to get away with it. I waited six long months for justice. He was eventually sentenced to life in prison for sexual assault on several women. When I decided to testify, several women, children, and men came out of the closet saying that they had also experienced sexual touching on the part of this man. He had no chance of getting out. He was going to die in prison, and I was very happy. However, I decided to reorient my field of study because every day I was confronted with this kind of event, and it became too painful for me.

Choice 1 :

Human resources.

When I went to human resources for my salary increase they asked me if he could do a background check. There was no problem since I had nothing to hide. However, I was afraid that he would ask me why I had to have a moment of leave of absence. I had to have a discussion with them. I had to hold a meeting with the entire school board. Instead of offering me a salary increase as I had asked. They offered me a leg workplace. I refused this opportunity because I wanted to be close to my family and I did not want to leave my two children. They also showed a great trick by offering me a compensation package. They wanted to take away hours of work for the same job I was doing. I also refused. However, at the end of the meeting. Someone came to me to warn me that they had a vacant position at the DPJ. It was one of my dreams since I left CEGEP to go and work there. I saw a great opportunity there. When I told my bosses that I had a more offering and that I was planning to leave. They finally offered me the salary increase I wanted. I had to choose between two of my best dreams.

Choice 1 : DPJ

Choice 2 : Wage increase
