Start at the beginning.

Hi, I'm Rosalie Desroches, a student at Ahuntsic College. I am the third of a family of four children. I live with both my parents and my siblings. I have a boyfriend who lives in Saint-jean-sur-Richelieu, which is a long road from Laval, but our relationship works very well. I finished my pre-university program in psychology this session, but I'm not sure what will happen next.

Choice 1 : Continue my studies at UQAM in Social Work.

Choice 2 : Start a social work technique at the Old Montreal College.

Continue my studies at UQAM in Social Work.

I am quite stressed about the idea of completely changing the environment. I'm going from CEGEP to university and therefore, the workload is higher. I then begin my three-year bachelor's degree in social work.

Choice 1 : Try to make some friends.

Choice 2 : Start the session alone.

Start a social work technique at the Old Montreal College.

I am admitted to my new program at a new school. That's a lot of changes. I now have to get my schedule and textbooks back, but I can't find my way through school.

Choice 1 : Ask someone for directions.

Choice 2 : Try to find the way to the school library alone.

Try to make some friends.

I approach a group of people who seem nice. The conversation is going well and our friendship is growing over the next few weeks of school. I realize that these are more the kind of person who celebrate a lot, and they are planning a party this weekend. I am overwhelmed by the workload that my courses give me.

Choice 1 : Go to the party.

Choice 2 : Stay in and do my homework.

Start the session alone.

One of my teachers announces the delivery of a new team project for his course, but I don't know anyone yet. Teams are formed, and I end up with someone who is not working.

Choice 1 : Do all the work alone.

Ask someone for directions.

I ask my questions to the lady who gives me the directions with pleasure. I do not arrive late to my classes and I have all the necessary material. I continue my school year and pass each of my courses. During my sessions I have some internships to do, but I am doing well. I acquire new knowledge in psychology about certain illnesses, disorders, approaches, and so much more. I am now at the stage of my life where I have to make important decisions. What will be my future job?

Choice 1 : Apply in a private firm as a social worker.

Choice 2 : Apply in a high school as a social worker.

Try to find the way to the school library alone.

I finally found my way, I buy the necessary material for my classes. I do not arrive late to my classes and I have all the necessary material. I continue my school year and pass each of my courses. I learn about alexithymia, anxiety, behaviorism, bipolarity, conditioning, and so much more. I am now at the stage of my life where I have to make important decisions. What will be my future job?

Choice 1 : Apply in a private firm as a social worker.

Choice 2 : Apply in a high school as a social worker.

Go to the party.

I have a lot of fun at the party, and I try a new type of drug that makes me feel addictive sensations. I start taking it regularly, and so I lose track of my classes. I ended up taking many classes, and I failed my school year.

Choice 1 : The end.

Stay in and do my homework.

I do my homework successfully. I continue my school year and pass each of my courses. I learn how certain working methods and professional consultations work, how to integrate the evolution of psychology into my approaches, and so much more.

Choice 2 : Apply in a high school as a social worker.

The end.

Start again!

Choice 1 : Start at the beginning.

Do all the work alone.

I lack time, and I do not postpone the project on time. I am not prepared for the workload of all of my courses and I end up sinking several. I don't pass my school year and so, I drop out.

Choice 1 : The end.

Apply in a private firm as a social worker.

As every employer would do, I have an interview to do with the HR, but it goes wonderfully, and I am therefore, taken as an employee. As a trainee, I learn the ropes. I learn about labour standards, office politics, premium wage, and so much more.

Choice 1 : The end.

Apply in a high school as a social worker.

Following the interview, I am in training. I must learn the important concepts of the establishment. The notion of time management is important here, because many of my colleagues have to overtime due to lack of efficiency. I can easily get sucked-up in my work, but it is important to be aware of time.

Choice 1 : The end.
