Dream or Reality.

Last year of CEGEP.

I am in my final year of CEGEP in natural sciences at CEGEP of Thetford. I wonder what I should do for next year. Should I go to university, if so where? Or I take a year off? What should I do?

Choice 1 : Sherbrooke University.

Choice 2 : Laval University.

Choice 3 : Take a year off.

CEGEP of Thetford

Sherbrooke University.

I just finished my first semester at the University of Sherbrooke in physiotherapy. Fortunately, I passed all of my courses. On the other hand, the electrical Engineering program gives me grants to change programs, and I’m a little tight on my budget. At the same time, I really like my program, so I’m in a dilemma.

Choice 1 : Electrical Engineering.

Choice 2 : Stay in physiotherapy.

Sherbrooke University

Laval University.

I’m discouraged. I haven’t passed any of my physiotherapy courses. I don’t know what to do anymore. I would like to resume my session, in order to succeed, but at the same time I am so discouraged that I would like to take a six-month school leave. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Resume my session.

Choice 2 : Take a break from school.

Laval University

Take a year off.

It's now November, and I'm starting to get bored alone having nothing to do. Also, my apartment costs me a lot, so I wonder if I'm looking for a full-time job, or I'm going on a trip and subletting my apartment.

Choice 1 : Looking for a full-time job.

Choice 2 : Go on a trip.

A year off

Electrical Engineering.

Phew... a little help. I needed that money so much. I’m starting my session tomorrow in my new program and I’m stressed out because I don’t really like electricity, so I can’t wait to see. For today, I wonder what I could do to change my mind.

Choice 1 : Visit an archaeological museum.

Choice 2 : Renovations to my parents' house.

Electricity

Stay in physiotherapy.

I finally got through my physiotherapy program. Now I don’t know what to do about it. This morning I received a call from the Montreal Canadiens leadership asking me to be the team’s new physiotherapist. At the same time, I would like to have my own physiotherapy clinic and care for my patients' injuries there. I’m interested in both, but with my wife and child, I don’t know what would be the best way to balance work and family.

Choice 1 : Montreal Canadiens.

Choice 2 : Start my own physiotherapy clinic.

Physiotherapy

Resume my session.

The session went well, but I failed my last exam. I’m trying to stay optimistic because I absolutely want to pass my session. I’ve been done for a week, and I’m still waiting for the final verdict to see if I pass or fail again. I’d like to change my mind because I get nervous when I think about it. On a whim, I decide to go alone to Las Vegas to play at the casino. Once there, I go straight to a casino and sit at a blackjack table. Miracle, I win a million dollars! What should I do with all this money?

Choice 1 : Buy a villa.

Choice 2 : Become a drug dealer.

Las Vegas

Take a break from school.

During my six months without school, I will have to work because I will need money to pay for my apartment. My best friend tells me that the place he works needs employees, so I applied. I’m hired. A good salary, a good working atmosphere, in short the perfect job. However, in my second week of work, I see my best friend touching a colleague’s butt several times. I go into my office, and I wonder what I should do.

Choice 1 : Go to see the colleague in question to ask her if she is correct, if she needs help.

Choice 2 : Act likes you see nothing.

Break

Looking for a full-time job.

I am currently looking for a full-time job. I went to give my name in a metal factory. After a few days, I got a call from the plant manager saying I’m hired, and I’m starting in a week. A week later, I’m doing my first shift. I am totally satisfied with my salary, but I realize that many people talk behind my back. Every time I go to dinner, people look at me and laugh at me. I would like to keep this job, because the salary is very high, but at the same time, it’s not a very good working atmosphere.

Choice 1 : Stay.

Choice 2 : Leave.

Full-time job

Go on a trip.

Finally, I’m going on a trip today. I decided to go alone with my backpack. My destination... Egypt! My plane has just landed, and I am going through customs. To get to the camp where I will live for the next few weeks, I need a taxi. At the same time, to save money, I could walk.

Choice 1 : Take a taxi.

Choice 2 : I decided to walk.

Trip

Visit an archaeological museum.

Wow, it’s beautiful. I love this museum, I’d like to work on it. I go to the museum manager and ask him to hire me. He accepts. So, I’m dropping the electrical Engineering program to work here because I’m passionate about the place. I want to work in this museum for the rest of my life, it’s my dream.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Dinosaur Archaeological Museum

Renovations to my parents' house.

I’m going to help my parents with their home renovations. Something simple, my father asks me to move electrical wires because they are not in the right place. I think I’ll be able to do that because I’m going into an electrical business. I start working, but I forget to turn off the power. I get electrocuted, and I die because the current was extremely strong. Finally, I think the electricity was not for me.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Electrocution

Montreal Canadiens.

My dream, I am a member of the Montreal Canadiens team. I’m not going to see my family any less, but as soon as I’m in town, I’m gonna totally take care of my kid and give my wife a break. I will love this job, I will deal with dislocations, sprains, and a lot more. I will make sure that players stretch their muscles before games to avoid breaking their ligaments or getting crowds. In short, my dream job. I will be happy for the rest of my career.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Montreal Canadiens

Start my own physiotherapy clinic.

My brother and I built my physiotherapy clinic. It's gorgeous and huge, so I can rent treatment rooms to other physiotherapists. My clinic is on my property where my house is. My wife loves it because I will be home more often. I offer different forms of treatment, but I specialize mainly with athletes. I allow them to have better physical conditions to perform in their sport, which makes me proud day after day.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Physiotherapy clinic

Buy a villa.

I bought a beautiful villa by the sea. I live alone, but since I own this villa, several women want to sleep with me for my money. As gentlemen, of course, I do not refuse their offer. Every day, a woman visits me, but no love story is created. So, I’ll probably end my life in my beautiful villa as an eternal bachelor.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Luxury villa

Become a drug dealer.

I am now the most popular drug dealer in Quebec. Everyone wants my drug because I am affiliated with the Italians. However, many wants to kill me because they are jealous of my place in the organization, mainly John Killer, Laval’s dealer. Every day, I go to the corner restaurant for coffee, so this morning I went out of my house and drive to the restaurant. When I get there, I get out of my car, and John pulls me at close range. The corner restaurant has just lost a regular customer because I’m going to heaven and John becomes the head of the organization.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Go to see the colleague in question to ask her if she is correct, if she needs help.

I ask my colleague if she feels comfortable talking to me about what happened with my friend. I asked her if she was willing, and she said no. I tell her that I have seen him touch your ass several times, and that's important to denounce these actions immediately. Even if the aggressor is my best friend, I will never let these actions happen, because it makes the victim uncomfortable and thus lowers her self-esteem. With the woman, I was reported to the boss and my friend was immediately dismissed. The woman thanked me, and I can now be freed from this situation. I am no longer friends with the man, and I am proud of that.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Need help?

Act likes you see nothing.

I stay in my office and I panic. I don’t want to lose my best friend, but at the same time, poor woman, she’s being abused and no one’s there for her. Too embarrassed to deal with the situation, I act like nothing happened. I go on with my life, but deep down, I feel like I failed at my task. I keep talking to my friend, but I don’t see him as before, I see him as a devil.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Blindfolded man

Stay.

Money is the important thing in this situation. So, I decided to keep this job. Every morning, I don’t feel like going to work, but I motivate myself by saying that I’m going to have a lot of money. Even today, when I go to dinner, my colleagues stare at me, but I decided to ignore them and do my business alone in a corner. I won’t be happy, but at least I’ll be rich.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Sad emoticon with money

Leave.

I decided, I officially quit this job. I could no longer work in this atmosphere, I was no longer happy. I will find another job where my colleagues do not judge me and accept me as I am. My life will be much better like that.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Leave

Take a taxi.

I’m a coward, so I took the taxi. The man takes me to my camp. The driver is very nice, but I don’t really understand what he’s saying. I think he speaks Portuguese or Arabic, at least one thing is certain, he's speaking alone because I don’t understand what he’s saying. When I get to the camp, I give him the money, and I say goodbye. The rest of the trip will go well and warm. After eight weeks in Egypt, I decided to come back to Quebec because I wanted to go back to school and become a pilot. That way I could travel all over the world.

Choice 1 : Last year of CEGEP.

Taxi

I decided to walk.

I’m too tight on my travel budget, so I’m going to walk. The camp is only about 10 minutes away by on foot. Halfway through my journey, a car stops next to me, and a man comes out of the car, and he kidnaps me. I try to fight, but he puts me in the trunk of the car. I’m panicking. I’m scared. I think I’m going to die. After a while, the car stops. The man pulls me out of the trunk, and he blindfolds me and puts a rope around my mouth. He sat me on a chair, and told me that he's going to dissect me because my organs are worth dears. I cry, and I try to get rid of this rope, but impossible. A few days later, he comes back to me, and I hear a gunshot, I’m dead.
