In my two years of cegep in Saint-Hyacinthe, I got straight A's in each of my classes, I was really proud of myself. I did well at school because I did time management.

My company is successful.

They learned the ins-and-outs in this job. One of my trainees quit to job because he wasn't ready to be part of a giant company. I showed to everybody that I was a good architect, and they should trust me. After a couple of years, I got a lot of big contracts, and I became rich.
