My beginning at Montmorency College.

I studied Social Science, and I did my Mathematize courses 536 at Montmorency College. I have been from private school in secondary. I took this direction because my counselor encouraged us to get high-prestige professions (director, doctor, surgeon) but I was misguided. In private schools, teachers did not encourage sub-trades such as nurses, orderlies, etc. I didn't have the score to become a doctor or surgery, and I was really perplexed.

Choice 1 : I went on vacation.

Choice 2 : I went to find a small job.

I went on vacation.

I decided to take a year off to think about my future choices, and I went to discover Montreal city because my parents preferred to live in suburban area to avoid making me know a big city like Montreal. They tried to keep me blinding about dangers in nightlife.

Choice 1 : Years of lost

I went to find a small job in Montreal.

I found dead-end jobs like hostess and waitress all my life without financial security, work insurance and retirement plan.

Choice 1 : Bartender course

Choice 2 : Building inspector course

Choice 3 : Beneficiary attendants course

I didn't go back to school after a year. I haven't met a counselor for a possible return to school, and the situation just got a worse year after year.

Beneficiary attendants course.

My mother suggested that me go work with old people because I got along so well with my grandmother. She suggested that me paid the course of the agency for a month or a course at school, which one who is 750 hours at Competence 2000.

Choice 1 : I chose small courses to become a patient care attendant in an agency.

Choice 2 : I chose 750 hours course to become a patient care attendant.

I chose small courses to become a patient care attendant in an agency.

My mother spent $750 to get me the small formation in an agency, and I worked for two years. I tried to keep two jobs in the same time to be a bartender and to be a patient care, but it was difficult to be available at the two jobs because the agency used to call me at the morning when I slept after a night of work like a bartender. The government abolished the partnership with the agency because the government wanted us to get the real vocational training at 750 hours, and not by an agency with a formation of a month. The agency closed his door and people have been left without jobs like me.

Choice 1 : I went back to school.

Choice 2 : I went back to my dead-end job.

I chose 750 hours course to become a patient care attendant.

My mother helped me to register me at the good course at Competence 2000, and she spent $300 on my training of 9 months. She helps me to get through this 9 months with my bills and grocery to have time to study, and to stop worked bartenders. I finished my courses, I found a good job in hospital, and my mother relieved her conscience about my future. With this job, I got an income, a premium wage, a pension, compensation package and security.
