My career choice.

Which program should I choose?

I will go to college next year, and I don't know which program should I choose. I know that I like to work with kids and help people, but I always said that I would like to become an architect. I can go in the Special Care Counseling program for becoming a Speech Therapist. I can also go in the Social Science program for becoming a teacher or in the Natural Science program for becoming an architect. I am confuse and the choice of a profession is so important. I am attracted by all of these professions.

Choice 1 : Special Care Counseling.

Choice 2 : Social Science.

Choice 3 : Natural Science.

The choice of the program

Special Care Counseling.

The Special Care Counseling program is so nice! I met a lot of people and made new friends. I have good grades, and I think that I am in the good field of study. Next semester, we will have to do an internship. We have to choose where we want to go. I know that I love children, but I want to try something else. Should I rest in my comfort zone or should I go over it and try something new in a psychiatric institution?

Choice 1 : Internship with children.

Choice 2 : Internship in a psychiatric institution.

Special Care Counseling program

Social Science.

I hate my History and Politics classes. I don't have any motivation to continue in this program and my grades aren't as good as expected. I have some difficulties with my time management. I thought that I would have straight A'S in my exams, but pulled off this idea of my brain. I think that I will put aside college for the moment and find a job of the rest of the school year.

Choice 1 : Continue in Social Science.

Choice 2 : Get a full time job.

Lack of motivation

Natural Science.

I really like this program! It's very interesting! I have few difficulties in chemistry, but I will work hard and get over it. I study thoroughly in every course because I have a lot of motivation. I do my assignments thoughtfully. I have to decide which program I will choose at the university.

Choice 1 : Architecture program.

Choice 2 : Astronomy program.

Natural Science program

Internship with children.

I am now an intern. I am very happy where I am. I think that I am in the right place. I learn every day about the development of children. I also do a lot of activities to help them with their difficulties. This is a good place to learn the ropes of the profession. Internship comes handy to know with which clients I would like to work in the future. I found the good ones with this test drive. I would like to go to the university after college. I have two choices of program.

Choice 1 : Speech Therapist.

Choice 2 : Teacher in a primary school.

Internship with children

Internship in a psychiatric institution.

I am very stressed every time I go to my internships. I don't think I am in the right place. Sometimes, the residents are telling me mean things and that makes me uncomfortable. Once, a man who was very frustrated threw me a chair and almost reached me. This is a dangerous place, and you must be mentally strong to face these situations. I guess that I don't have the personality to work there. I find the atmosphere overwhelming. I can still change my place of internships.

Choice 1 : Continue this internship.

Choice 2 : Change the place of my internship.

pychiatric institution

Continue in Social Science.

I have more motivation because the college just announced us a trip to Costa Rica as a volunteering action! The purpose of this trip is to discover another culture and to help people there. This project cost a lot of money. I have to decide if I save my money or if I go to Costa Rica. I know that this is an invaluable experience, but I have other priorities.

Choice 1 : Save my money.

Choice 2 : Got to the trip.

Proposition for a trip

Get a full time job.

I got a full time job at a restaurant. I had an OJT. I used to be a trainee, but now I am a waitress. I do a lot of money because of the tip. There also had some drawback like over shift and not a lot of breaks because of the lack off staff. Over all, my colleagues are very kind, and I like my job. While I was working at the evening shift, I met a guy and I he asked me on a date.

Choice 1 : Go on a date with him.

Choice 2 : Don't go on the date with him.

job in a restaurant

Architecture program.

My job as an architect takes a big part of my life. I don't have many times to see my family. I think that this is worthwhile because it is useful to build myself a good career. I do a lot of overtime to make sure that what I do is well-done. I don't have any lack of motivation because I really like what I am doing. I know that all my work is appreciated by my boss. I receive some fulfillment from him. He is very grateful of what I am doing, so he asked me if I want to move to New York for a big contract.

I saved my money for my apartment. I will go to the university next year, and I want a good place to live. I will work a lot during the rest of the year.

Choice 1 : Get a new car.

Choice 2 : Keep my current car.

Got to the trip.

I arrived in Costa Rica and I immediately noticed the beauty of the county. There was beautiful landscape and people was very welcoming. We saw the reality of this country when we went in remote areas. Many people are in a dead-end position. I am very happy to help them. While I was working, I got injured in the leg. I wasn't able to walk alone. My teacher asked me if I want to come back in Quebec or stay in Costa Rica with them.

I am in love with this boy. We have a lot of common points. I am with him for 9 months now. Last night, he asked me if I wanted to be his wife. Obviously, I said yes! We will get married next summer. We also have the project to have kids together. I found the love of my life. I am very happy when I am with him.

Choice 1 : Which program should I choose?

Don't go on the date with him.

I feel very lonely. I like my job, but I want a bit more challenge in my life. My job of waitress is a drudgery. I don't like to do it anymore. It's too late for me to go back to school because I am 50 years old now. I don't have kids and never get married. I live alone with my cat in my little apartment. I had set aside money for many years now, and I think that it's the good time for me to retire. I have to make something crazy in my life. I can go live in Grece or travel around the world.

Should I go talk about it to my boss or withholding this information for me?

Choice 1 : Talk to the boss.

Choice 2 : Keep this for me.

When I came back to Quebec, I went to the hospital. They were able to cure me and to clean the little infection. A few days later, I was able to walk normally on my leg. I started doing sports again. I continued my normal life and everything was good.

Choice 1 : Which program should I choose?

I do a lot of money with this contract. I don't have any time for myself. All I am doing is working. I feel very lonely because I don't have the time for having a husband and kids. Even if I do a lot of money, I am not happy. I cry many times a day, and I don't know why. My mental health is not going well.

Choice 1 : Which program should I choose?

busy and tired

Stay in Montreal.

I work for the best architecture company of Canada. Even if it has that reputation, you see the truth of this company when you work there. More often than not, you get sucked up in a bad position because the boss of the company has not implemented an office politics. Some employees undermine the production of a project because they want to make more money. They add unnecessary expenses to their customers to keep more money for themselves. I am not comfortable with that, and I will resign from my duties in this company.

Talk to the boss.

When I explained this situation to my boss, he didn't believe me. He said that this was impossible because this employee is very kind and work well. He literally laughed in my face.

Choice 1 : Which program should I choose?

Keep this for me.

The employee continued to do things to me. He wants to give me money in exchange for doing things with him. He said that he would stop bothering me if I accept.
