A new beginning.

When I was young, I wanted to become an independent woman. I was so excited to graduate, putting that dress and throw the graduation hat. That day happened two years ago, but not how I expect it. It was during covid and the school Mont-de-La salle didn't organize a big prom day, and we didn't have the chance to throw the hat. It was still fine, we were still happy because we finished a big part of our life. Unfortunately, my friends and I split up because we didn't go to the same college. It was easy for me to choose because Montmorency College is just near my house and I didn't want to go far. The problem is which program I want to enter and study for a few years, I had two option in my mind.

Choice 1 : Social Science.

Choice 2 : Studying in business marketing

Social Science.

After doing a lot of research on this program, I discovered that I could help people and listen to them, that's what I really enjoy doing. One thing that is not so easy, I will need to read a lot and memorize this is not my strength. I asked a professional to tell me about his background before applying, and they told me that psychology is general. No kidding, I started to panic because you have other options in the program.

Choice 1 : Learning to work with the Kids

Choice 2 : Learning to work with adults

Business marketing.

Becoming an independent woman is one of my main goals in life. Working for people make me stress, they are never happy and always complaining on the work. Sometimes when you know how to do your work, they still think that you don't understand. If I wanted to be my own boss, I had to find a way to start. The problem was that I didn't know how to start and in what subject should I do the business. After doing a brainstorm, I end up with two idea.

Choice 1 : Office of Psychologists

Choice 2 : Guitar shop

Working with the kids.

Working with kids is like baby-sitting because they only want to play. I loved kids, still today I love them, and I have two at home. When I went on a one-day stage with kids, my brain exploded. They don't want to talk, they are always sad if you don't let them play. Personal I wasn't able to have patience. For my health, I decided to not study or work with the kids. For the first times I was sure of something, I will be working with adults.

Choice 1 : Working with adult.

Working with adult.

Working with adults can be good, in that communication is easier and adults tend to talk about themselves. I went for a one-day stage where I could see a psychologist helping in adulthood, they had a relationship between them that you can feel the patient's trust towards the psychologist. After 30 minutes, the patient start crying, the psychologist with all calm get up and give him a tissue. The dynamic was sad and silent for 2 minutes. Seriously, if I didn't have to be professional that day, I would probably start crying with the patient. Now I am a psychologist, and I learned how to control my emotion, but that day, my heart aches when the patient left. This was the moment when I had to question myself.

Choice 1 : Study the brain of adults

Choice 2 : Working with the kids.

Office of Psychologists.

After several years of study and graduation from university in business. I decide to do several psychologist's offices so that people can get a quick service for their psychological health. The last thing I know is that one of the employee has a relationship with their patient. This caused several problems and in labour standards, I was obliged to fire him. After a week, I receive an email to the court because my employee sued me. I had two choices.

Choice 1 : Give him money

Choice 2 : Close the Office

Guitar shop.

When I graduated to open a business, I started by buying a local where I can deposit guitars to sell. The only problem is when I started, the first year I didn't do much money. The employee didn't want to work full time and the city wasn't interested of instruments. I didn't know what to do anymore, I got lost, and I didn't want to continue. It was too much stress for me, and It was not a way to help people. I thought maybe I have to continue my studies and start a business in something I like, and I know that I can help people.

Choice 1 : Office of Psychologists.

Giving money.

After being sued, the judge decided to give me as a punishment to pay the man $5,000. However, he too owed an amount of 3 000 for not listening to the labour standards. In that case, If I respected the rules of the judge, I wouldn't have to close the store. It is weird to say that, but I had more client coming to the clinic, they saw our office on the internet. We also ended up innocent and recognize on the professional services. After few years, I had more than 4 psychologists with private services, the work went well.

Choice 1 : Moral.

Close the Office.

Imagine if I didn't pay the amount that the judge asks me too, I would have to close the office. What my life would me now?No idea, but I will probably go back to my diploma in business marketing.It will be a circle, that's why I decided that I am not giving up, and till I get enough money, I will be working more.

Choice 1 : Giving money.

Moral.

After all the hard work, I never give up, and I got my dreams came true because I know that I can do it. So, the moral that I want to share is that it may take time to find what you really want to do, but you have all your life in front you.

Choice 1 : Today!

Today!

Today, we are in 2022, soon 2023, and I have been a psychologist for now more over than 10 years with an office with more than 10 other professional psychologists. We also help people who are lost in their life and don't know where to start. I also have two kids and a beautiful family who is supportive.

Choice 1 : A new beginning.
