Alexis's career hypertext narrative.

End of high school.

It was the end of high school. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do after graduating from high school, but I had to make a choice for my future career. Based on my values and interests in life, two choices were available to me.

Choice 1 : Apply to St-Jerome College and study in Pure and Applied Sciences

Choice 2 : Apply to St-Jerome Professional Studies Center to study in electricity

Graduating

St-Jerome College.

I decided to go to St-Jerome College. Unfortunately, a pandemic had start at the same time. At the beginning, all of my classes weren't at the college. It was really maddening to do school at home because I had a hard time to focus during classes. I did a cursory job in most of my classes and I even put aside some of my homework because I wasn't passionate about school anymore. I had mediocre grades the first year of college. Though, the last year, all of my classes were back at the college. I was really happy and motivated. I decided to have better time management, to be thoughtful during classes and to do thoroughly all of my homework. This change paid off, because I got straight A's in all of my classes. After these two years, I graduated from St-Jerome College in Pure and Applied Sciences. I was interested in two choices and both leads me to a career in the healthcare field.

Choice 1 : Apply to a doctorate in Dentistry

Choice 2 : Apply to a doctorate in Pharmacy

Choice 3 : Apply to a doctorate in Medicine

I became a dentist!

Since I was a young boy, I always wanted to become a dentist. During my last year of doctorate, I was a trainee. I was doing my on-the-job training. I learned the ropes of the job and the ins-and-outs. My OJT made me discover new jobs related to dentistry. Once I had graduated from university, I decided to become more than a dentist. I asked the HR to help me. They suggested to me two jobs. I did a test drive for both. I can't make up my mind.

Choice 1 : Become an orthodontist

Choice 2 : Become a dental surgeon

Dentist

I became an orthodontist. When I finished studying to become an orthodontist, I had two choices. First, I can open my own orthodontic clinic. Second, I can work as an orthodontist at Dr. Brace's clinic, the place where I did my test drive. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Open a clinic

Choice 2 : Work for Dr. Brace

Orthodontist

My own orthodontic clinic.

I opened my own clinic. At the beginning, everything was doing great. After a while, I had fewer patients coming at my clinic each day. I didn't have enough money to continue like this. I was obligated to close the clinic. I lost too much money. This incident overwhelmed me, I can't continue this career.

Choice 1 : Go back to the start and make better choices

Orthodontist clinic

Dr. Brace.

I started to work as an orthodontist at Dr. Brace's clinic. He really liked me during my test drive, so I had a foot in the door. After a few weeks, I remarked that Dr. Brace is really strange around women. I saw multiple misconducts from him on feminine patients. I didn't deter him at the beginning because I was scared to lose my job. When I saw him, doing sexual harassment on our colleagues, I knew I had to act against this perpetrator. So, I called the police to address the problem and the refused to do anything. I was so angry that I went in my boss's office and punched him. I obviously lost my job.

After 30 years of being I dental surgeon, it was time for me to retire. The surgeries became drudgery and the drive of work was too much to handle. I gave my clinic to a nice and competent dental surgeon who did an intern few years ago. I retired and took the money that I set aside and my pension to travel around the world.

Dr. Goldentooth.

After a background check, Dr. Goldentooth hired me for a vacant position to be a dental surgeon in his clinic. At the beginning, the environment was really nice. After a month, I started to realize what was office politics. Some of my coworkers started to undermine Dr. Goldentooth. I was disgusted, and I didn't want to get sucked up in this. When they realized I didn't want get involved in their behavior, they tried to sabotage my work. One time, they withheld the information that the meeting was one hour earlier than usual. Dr. Goldentooth was so angry. I didn't want to work in a toxic environment like this anymore. I had to be my own boss. I wanted to open my own clinic to be able to insure a good working environment.
