The university.

As usual, it was the last day to decide which University I want to go to. The problem is that I had two choices, as I was accepted in both universities in the program I chose in accounting. The first being the University of Sherbrooke in Longueuil or the University of Trois-Rivières.

Choice 1 : Sherbrooke University.

Choice 2 : University of Trois-Rivières.

Sherbrooke University.

Sherbrooke University was the perfect university for easy access. I had to choose between taking my car or taking the bus to get to my classes which was starting tomorrow.

Choice 1 : I will take my car.

Choice 2 : I will take the bus.

University of Trois-Rivières.

I chose to go to the University of Trois-Rivières in the accounting program I . Now that my choice was made, I had to decide if I rent an apartment for my studies or if I rent a room on the campus of the university. I had no time to lose because the university started next day.

Choice 1 : Rent an apartment.

Choice 2 : Rent a room on campus.

I will take my car.

When I woke up, I had lunch as usual. My management class started at 8 a.m. I know it took about 45 minutes to go to university. So, I was gone by 7 a.m. Before I left my father told me that there was often traffic on the 116, so he recommended taking Highway 20.

Choice 1 : Go to university by the 116.

Choice 2 : Go to University by Highway 20.

I will take the bus.

The next morning, I checked the bus schedule to avoid being late for my first bookeeping class. My class was starting at 8 a.m. Looking at the bus schedule I noticed that I could arrive at the university at 7:45 or 7:10. So, I wonder which bus to take.

Choice 1 : Be at university at 7:45.

Choice 2 : Be at university at 7:10.

Rent an apartment.

As usual, I procrastinated, so, on Sunday evening I was calling to see if there was an apartment available, but they told me that all apartments in Trois-Rivières, near the university, was already rented from a long time. So, I did not go to university and I stopped my studies and went to an asylum , and I was dead 3 days later, because I was bored.

Choice 1 : End.

Rent a room on campus.

I had found a room on campus. that cost me a lot, but I will succeed in paying it, in hortened the stock market. That being said, in the last week I noticed a company that was in explosive growth. So I had the choice between reinvesting in this company or waiting for a better opportunity. The risk embedded was about 20% to 30%.

Choice 1 : Invest all my savings.

Choice 2 : Nothing to invest and wait for a better opportunity.

Go to University by Highway 20.

I took Highway 20 and arrived at my course in advance. I spoke with my teacher about some software that I could use during my Accounting . He told me about the software that calculates the risk technology outward. But the problem was that this software cost $550. So, did I spend $550 the software or did I not spend it but went to the party this weekend?

Choice 1 : I spend $550 the software.

Choice 2 : Didn't spend it but go to the party this weekend.

Be at university at 7:45.

I arrived at the university at 8:20. There was a lot of delay due to traffic. When I returned to the classroom, the teacher stopped his class. I noticed he was talking about asset classes because he was writing that word on the board. The teacher asked me if I knew this term. I answered yes, and he asked me the meaning in front the whole class. So, I had the choice to answer him, that an asset class was: to allow investors to own a small piece of business. I could not answer him.

Choice 1 : Answer.

Choice 2 : Do not answer and leave class.

Be at university at 7:10.

I arrive at the university at 7:10 a.m. as planned. I arrived in my class in advance and discussed with my asset management professor because that was the name of the first chapter we were going to see in class. He asked if I had shares on the stock exchange. I had the choice to answer yes, I had to continue the discussion or that no I had none because I found this question too personal.

Choice 1 : Answer that I have shares on the stock market.

Choice 2 : Answer that I do not have stock market shares.

Go to university by the 116.

Took Route 116. After 10 minutes of driving, I looked at my phone to see if I was late. All of a sudden, I had an accident with the car in front of me. I fell asleep forever.

Choice 1 : Restart !

Didn't spend it but go to the party this weekend.

Because I did not buy the software, I could not complete all of my studies. So, I became empty and missed my life.

Choice 1 : Restart !

I spend $550 the software.

With the software, I was able to finish my studies, and I was able to join a large accounting firm. This allowed me to improve myself as an accountant. A few years later, I became a portfolio manager, which is a person who manage the money of other people for making a profit. He invest the money in the stock market. When I got back to work, my supervisor offered me an international opportunity because Bobinette had gone on her retirement. I did not have good English, but I remembered Bishop's classes. So, I had the choice between a favorable response or declined the offer.

Choice 1 : Accept the new job.

Choice 2 : Refuse the job offer.

Answer.

I replied that the asset classes were to allow investors to own a small piece of business. Share prices vary and change daily. The teacher replied that I could sit down. Then, he continued his course. Before leaving class, the teacher asked me to come see him. He told me that he would like me not beeing late for class. After the first class, I got along well with my teacher. Then, a few weeks later, he asked me to become a lecturer for his course because I had very good results. So, I had the choice to become a lecturer or remain a student.

Choice 1 : Become a lecturer for his course.

Choice 2 : Stay just a student.

Do not answer and leave class.

I do not answer the question. So, I left my class and I never went back to university. I became a car salesman and lived a monotonous life.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Answer that I have shares on the stock market.

I replied that I had shares on the stock exchange. I explained to him that I did not like taking risks so I chose fixed-income business. The professor found it very interesting then asked me if I wanted to be part of a student group that wanted to practice on the stock market in a fictitious way. I had the choice to choose between joining or not he student group.

Choice 1 : Joining the student group.

Choice 2 : Not join the student group.

Answer that I do not have stock market shares.

The teacher told me that if I started I should pay attention to the risks embedded, because I could lose a lot of money quickly. He told me that during his class he spoke a lot about the stock market in general. In addition, during our conversation he told me about a pharmaceutical company that had strategic income opportunities. So, at home, I went on my computer and wondered if I was starting trading.

Choice 1 : Started doing stock exchange trading.

Choice 2 : I did not start trading and did not go back to university because I was not interested in that.

Invest all my savings.

I invested everything in the company. Two days later, the stock had fallen by 99%, as the company had committed tax offenses. So, I lost everything and could not go to university.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Nothing to invest and wait for a better opportunity.

I waited for a few hours. Then, I had a scenario forecasts the stock market of Google which was down. Two days later, the action had doubled. So, I kept waiting for the action to go up. But, Google went bankrupt, and I lost all my income. I could not go to college.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Accept the new job.

I accepted the proposal. I had to prepare to move to China. My supervisor told me that the first week I was going to start as an intern. But after I had adapted I was going to find a higher position. I sold everything I had and bought a single ticket to China. During the flight, the pilot fell asleep and the plane crashed and I fell into a coma for the rest of my life.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Refuse the job offer.

By refusing to work, my superior found that I was very rude. So, he told me it was a misbehaviour. He has set up meetings, but I was not invited. Two weeks later, he fired me. But I had a good compensation package. Even with this compensation package, I searched for some work, but it was not successful.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Become a lecturer for his course.

By becoming a lecturer, I had a great deal of extra responsibility. A few weeks passed and my character was starting to change progressively. After that, I fell in a depressive period and I never went back to university.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Stay just a student.

I chose to remain just a student. But, the teacher did not appreciate this choice. I never managed to successfully pass the course, which prevented me from having my degree.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Joining the student group.

I joined the group. We had a lot of fun during our study. In addition, we started to buy and sell on the stock market. That allowed me to raise about $50 000 in one year. So, I was wondering if I should stop the university to continue doing stock trades which were very profitable.

Choice 1 : Continue university.

Choice 2 : Stop the university.

Not join the student group.

I did not want to join the student group. So, I had to continue my classes as it should. When summer arrived, I had to choose my internships. There were two options, the first was with a big accounting firm in Montreal and the other was an internship in an office in Saint-Hilaire.

Choice 1 : Accounting firm in Montreal.

Choice 2 : Saint-Hilaire office.

Started doing stock exchange trading.

I had to make a few small transactions on the stock exchange. In the past few weeks I rammed above $5000. I wondered if I had gone back to see the teacher to ask him how to go to the next level or continue slowly.

Choice 1 : Go to see the teacher.

Choice 2 : Continue quietly.

I did not start trading and did not go back to university because I was not interested in that.

After stopping university, I had no place to go. So, I had gone to work for the restaurant La Belle Province. I hated this choice for the rest of my life.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Continue university.

I kept on going to university. I had a university session before the summer. My teacher had noticed my knowledge in the matter and asked me if I wanted to work for one of his friends in a small investment company. If I accepted, I was going to be hired as an intern.

Choice 1 : Accepted the offer.

Choice 2 : Refused the offer.

Stop the university.

I had stopped the university. Everything was going well in the first three years, but in the fourth year, the Toronto Stock Exchange went down and it created a recession. So, I lost everything and I found myself on the street.

Choice 1 : Start again !

Accounting firm in Montreal.

I had just returned to the accounting firm when my boss came to see me. He asked if I had a lot of availability because the person who had the job before me was always missing work and late. Later he asked me if I wanted to work overtime.

Choice 1 : Agree to work overtime.

Choice 2 : Refused to do extra hours.

Saint-Hilaire office.

On my first day I met my superior, who happens to be one of my father's very good friends. He recognized me. He came in and showed me all the premises. Then he asked me which office I preferred between the one with the view of the river or the view of the mountain.

Choice 1 : View of the river.

Choice 2 : View of the mountain.

Go to see the teacher.

I made an appointment with my teacher. He had me in his office and he spoke to me about a new approach that I could use to learn about the companies well before investing. It took a lot of time to find out information about the company, but he told me it was good. Then he asked me if I wanted to invest with him in a plane manufacturer that was about to make his first flight the next day. He told me that he had to inspect everything about the company and that he was convinced that it would be good.

Choice 1 : Invest.

Choice 2 : Do not invest.

Continue quietly.

I had quietly continued my little trade on the stock exchange. At the end classes at the university, I had the choice between continuing to make small trades on the stock exchange that brought me about $45 000 each year during my university or to work for a stock exchange firm.

Choice 1 : Continue by my own way.

Choice 2 : Find a job.

Accepted the offer.

I had agreed to work for the company of my teacher's friend. But what I did not know was that he was not paying me. So, three days after I started I handed over my resignation. Then, my teacher had written to me that I could not go back to his class. So, I could not finish my university and I had to work at McDonald.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Refused the offer.

I rejected the offer. He was disappointed of my answer so all exams he gave me, I obtained the passing mark of 60%. With these grades, I was not able to get a masters degree, so I never got the job I wanted.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Agree to work overtime.

I had to accept doing overtime. But my superior always gave me more. By the end of the summer I could not go, I was going to see a doctor. He told me I was making a burn out and depression.

Choice 1 : Start again!

Refused to do extra hours.

By redoing the extra time, my supervisor waited two weeks and fired me. So, I was forgetting to stay on social welfare all my life.

Choice 1 : Start again!

View of the river.

From my office I had a view of the river. I was very happy to get an office. My job was greatly motivating and I loved what I was doing, this place gave me the feeling of being in the right path to a happy life. I was happy and fulfilled.

Choice 1 : Bravo I'm happy!

View of the mountain.

I had a view of the mountain. I liked this place but I looked at everyone who was outside, and I was thumbing at work. The work was good, but I was always distracted because I was constantly looking at the mountain. So, I had the choice between going to see my boss and asking him for the office with the view of the river (knowing that he was going to accept) or staying in this room.

Choice 1 : View of the river.

Choice 2 : Staying in this room.

Invest.

I followed the advice of my teacher and I invested. The stock market had gone up by almost 50%, I waited about a week and it went down 150% and was worth nothing. So, I had more money for the university. So, I ended my life in a small restaurant as a cook.

Choice 1 : Start Again!

Do not invest.

I had not invested and it suited me because the company had diluted its value of 150% on the stock market. So, I finished my studies. And that's where real life started for me!

Choice 1 : Congratulations you have succeeded!

Continue by my own way.

I continued by myself, but after a few years I noticed that I lacked education. So, I had to go back to school and everything started again.

Choice 1 : Start again !

Find a job.

Finding a job in accounting took me a few months, but I knew I was going to like this job. I found a small business not far from Montreal. I loved this job and that's why I stayed there all my life.

Choice 1 : Good Job !

Staying in this room.

I stayed in this room and I did not feel at ease. I was always disturbed by people outside and I could not do my job properly. So, my boss fired me.

Choice 1 : Start again !

The End.
