Lawyers life choices

The start of everything.

After finishing high school, Dylan was feeling a little bit nostalgic about losing some of her friends and missing some of her teachers. Even though she knew it was the normal circle of life, she was sad to leave a great five years behind. Since she was thirteen years old, Dylan wanted to be a lawyer. Now, it is the moment when she needs to make an important choice for her future life. She recently got accepted into Paralegal Technology at Valleyfield College, but she is also hesitating between staying here in Thetford Mines with her parents and going into Social Science at the Cegep de Thetford.

Choice 1 : Go to the Cegep de Thetford in Social Science

Choice 2 : Go in Paralegal Technology

Female lawyer

The next moment.

When Dylan started school at the Cegep of Thetford, she felt happy with her choice. She knew that going into Social Science would make her wait two more years before studying law, but she was content with staying with her parents a little more. Dylan spent almost every day studying for her exams and doing homework. One day, her friends invited her to go to a party. She hesitated because she had an exam the next day, but she had been studying for it for two weeks now.

Choice 1 : Go to the party

Choice 2 : Stay at home and study more

Hard choice

The consequences of the party.

Dylan went to the party and had the time of her life. She and her friends had so much fun that they started to go to parties every weekend. However, the parties affected Dylan's grades. During all her time in cegep, she had difficulties with keeping her grades up, so in the end, she didn't have the chance to get a scholarship. At this point, her parents offered her to pay for her university, but she'll have to repay them afterwards, or she can go work for one year to save up enough money to pay for her university herself.

Choice 1 : Let her parents pay her university and repay them later

Choice 2 : Go work for one year so she can pay her university herself

Party

The pay back.

Dylan finally went to university in law. She is so happy to experience her dream, but she feels bad for her parents because they paid for everything for her so she could have her dream job. After she is done with school, Dylan plans on paying everything back to her parents in the fastest way possible. After her graduation, Dylan found a job as a lawyer's assistant in her hometown. She will learn even more things and get money to pay her parents back. She hopes that with the years she will get up in the ranks of the office, so she can have the life that she dreams of ever since she was thirteen years old.

Choice 1 : The start of everything.

Dream job

The results of all efforts.

Dylan decided to stay home and study more for her exam. She started to get into the habit of studying harder than everyone else for her exams, and after hours and hours of long and hard work, her efforts finally paid back. Dylan got accepted into the cooperative program at the University of Sherbrooke, and she also got a scholarship at the University of Laval in criminal law. Dylan is so happy, but she is conflicted between the two options. She wants to go to both schools, and she doesn't know what to do.

Choice 1 : Go into the cooperative program at the University of Sherbrooke

Choice 2 : Take the scholarship and go to University of Laval

Studying

A year of hard work.

Dylan took a gap year to go work, so she could get as much money as possible for her university. Eventually, she finally started university and she was so happy. She now knows that being a lawyer is all that she ever wanted. All the hours of hard work for a year put her a little behind, but she is certainly the person who loves the program the most. After getting her law diploma, Dylan decided to stay in her hometown and work for a small law firm. Even though she is not living the busiest life ever, she is the happiest woman on earth with her family and friends near her and a job that she loves.

Choice 1 : The start of everything.

Happiest life

An amazing career.

After Dylan got her diploma, she decided to go into the cooperative program at the University of Sherbrooke. This program allowed her to learn more theoretical and practical things about the law that will be extremely useful in her future career. Also, this program offered her an internship as an attorney's assistant during her school year. Dylan was so relieved to learn that she didn't need to work and study during all university. After Dylan finished school and got her diploma, she got offered by the law firm she was an intern in a permanent position as a crown attorney. She was so grateful to have this chance and immediately took it because she had just gotten out of school and already got a job. Also, this work will allow Dylan and her friends from college to stay in contact.

Choice 1 : The start of everything.

Law internship

A different path.

After Dylan got her diploma in Social Science, she decided to go to the University of Laval because they offered her a scholarship. Even though she was far from her friends and family, Dylan loved the program she was in. One day, her new friend, and she went to Ottawa to have an interview with a law firm. To Dylan's biggest surprise, her friend and she got accepted as lawyers in the law firm. Once they all got their bachelor of law, they moved to Ottawa and started working for the firm. Her friend and she were so happy to live through this experience and to start their new lives as lawyers.

Choice 1 : The start of everything.

Lawyer friends

A complicated choice.

After Dylan got her high school diploma, she decided that she'll go into Paralegal Technology at Valleyfield College. The Paralegal Technology that she is in offered for all students in a program to start a debate team. She wants to be a part of it because it will allow her to create an experience in the law field and because she will have the chance of meeting new people. But on the other side, she doesn't want to be a part of the debate team because she is afraid that her new friends will find her dorky. She doesn't know what to do...

Choice 1 : Go in the debate team

Choice 2 : Don't go in the debate team

Difficult choice

The variety of choice.

After three years of hard work in her Paralegal program and on the debate team, Dylan is ready to start a new chapter at university. The debate team has allowed her to learn a lot of new things in law and has offered her an internship at a new law firm in Vancouver. Even though she wants to go, she also got a scholarship to finish her master's degree. However, if she continues her studies, she will not have an internship anymore. Dylan is conflicted between the two options, and she doesn't know what option she'll take.

Choice 1 : Take the scholarship and continue to study for a master's degree

Choice 2 : Go as an intern in Vancouver

Study or go work

A different dream life.

After a lot of long hours of thinking, Dylan decided to stay in school and to go finish her master's degree. Even though she is sad to refuse the internship in Vancouver, she will have her friends and her family close to her at all times now. When she finished her master's degree in criminal law, Dylan got to work in one of the biggest law firms in the province. During the years, she put so much effort into all of her cases and she became one of the most successful criminal lawyers in Quebec. After a lot of years, Dylan got the position of a judge in the Superior court of Quebec. She was so happy, and she became a good and rightful judge.

Choice 1 : The start of everything.

Judge

Life in the west.

After a lot of thinking, Dylan chose to go as an intern in Vancouver. She thought that an occasion like this only presented itself once, so she jumped at the chance. Once she finished her Paralegal Technology, Dylan took a plane to Vancouver and started working for the new law firm. She was good at first with her cases and everything new that she needed to adjust to, but over the years, she started to be an amazing lawyer. Dylan made a lot of money with her passion, and she loved her life in the west of Canada. Even though she was missing her family and friends, she still went and visited them from time to time. Dylan became, with experience, one of the greatest attorneys in her province, and she didn't regret her choice of not doing her master's degree.

Choice 1 : The start of everything.

Living with a passion

Her future life.

Dylan chose to not go on the debate team, but she decided to concentrate more on her studies and be more organized. Because of her good grades, at the end of her Paralegal Technology, Dylan got accepted into the University of Sherbrooke in the Law program, and in a private college in Ontario. She is so relieved that she won't have to go into deep debt to pay for her studies, but she doesn't know where she wants to go. The University of Sherbrooke is closer but the private college in Ontario is a great occasion for her to learn more about the law.

Choice 1 : Go at the University of Sherbrooke

Choice 2 : Go to the private college in Ontario

Paralegal Technology

Sherbrooke's new attorney.

Dylan decided, after a lot of thinking, to go to the University of Sherbrooke. The university offered her a lot of advantages, and it helped her understand the law better. With her friend, Dylan went looking for an internship after her graduation. By chance, they found a law firm that accepted both of them as interns. As soon as they finished school, Dylan and her friend went to work for the law firm. After the internship was over, Dylan got offered a permanent position in the firm, but her friend already accepted a job position elsewhere. Over the years, Dylan stayed with the same law firm where she grew up and became extraordinary at her job. Being an attorney was a fulfillment for Dylan. She was more than happy about how her life had turned.

Choice 1 : The start of everything.

Université de Sherbrooke

Government attorney.

After Dylan decided that she wanted to go to a private college in Ontario, she started to move and settle in her new environment. Once she started college, Dylan confirmed that it was this job that she wanted to do later in life. She loved the program and the new things about laws that she learns, and she was happy with her choice. One day, because of the college, Dylan got the chance to go see what the life of an attorney working in the Parliament of Canada was like. After that, Dylan knew that it was more precisely what she wanted to do. She managed to get an internship with one of the attorneys working there, and over time, she even got a job offer as an attorney in Parliament. Dylan became one of the greatest attorneys in the Parliament of Canada over time. She even got offered the job of a judge, but she declined the offer saying she loved her job too much.
