My Career as a Teacher (1).
At the end of high school.
I just graduated from high school and I need to apply to college. Frightened as I am, I hesitate for a long time to go either in Science or Social Science. Even though I hate everything related to math, I still have to consider Science as an option because of the fear of my parents. Indeed, my parents believe that career opportunities will open up to me only if I get into this program, so I can't put aside this belief. They say that I will not find a paying job if I get a degree in Social Science, so I'm very scared and stressed about that. However, in my heart, I've always wanted to become a teacher, so I want to apply to Social Science. What am I supposed to do? Choose between my parents' will or my passion?
Choice 1 : Go to Science.
Choice 2 : Go to Social Science.
Go to Science.
To reassure my parents, I decided to study in this program despite my will to apply in Social Science. However, my physic teacher said that I will fail in his course if I didn't get 80% on my next exam, so I was really scared. Through the semester, I've seen my grades decreasing drastically in all of my courses either in chemistry, biology, and physic. Indeed, I have never been good at science because I understood almost nothing and it can be seen just by the fact that I had the passing grade to be accepted in this program. However, one of the main reasons is that I am really demotivated because I don't like this program, so I was not thoughtful during classes. What should I do? Do my best to succeed in this program or transfer into Social Science where my heart belongs?
Choice 1 : Pull off a good mark on my final exam.
Choice 2 : Go to Social Science.
Go to Social Science.
I'm really glad to study Social Science! Everything that I learn in this program will be useful at university because it includes a multidisciplinary approach, so I have knowledge from different subjects allowing me to have better knowledge of the world. I'm passionate about these courses, so it's fun to learn to reach my goal of being a future teacher. However, the university is very expensive and I don't have the money to enter it right now. It exists scholarships but it may not be enough for my four years of university, so I plan maybe to tutor children to get a little bit of experience in the field of education and also to get money from it. What is the next step? Apply to University of Montreal or work full-time?
Choice 1 : University of Montreal.
Choice 2 : Full-time tutoring.
Pull off a good mark on my final exam.
I'm so happy to have passed my final exam! I have to confess that I was sure to fail. My time management was not efficient because I didn't answer all the questions within the allotted time period, but it was mostly because I didn't study properly in preparation for this exam ... The luck was with me this time! However, I can't imagine myself studying something that I really hate at university just to please my parents. I must study something that I'm passionate about within my abilities. What do I do? Continue to be sad or studying teaching at University of Montreal?
Choice 1 : Live according to my parents' expectations.
Choice 2 : University of Montreal.
University of Montreal.
I'm so excited to apply to be a freshman in Education at University of Montreal! I could finally pursue my dream career as a future teacher! First of all, I need to choose the school level that interests me the most either to work in elementary school or high school, but it's a very difficult decision to make and it breaks my heart to make a final choice. Since I'm young, I've always loved young children and I like the fact that I could teach them with a multidisciplinary approach, so it would be better to apply to Early Childhood and Elementary Education. However, I could also work with teenagers and teach them history or geography, two disciplines that passionate me. What should I do? Work in an elementary school or in a high school?
Choice 1 : Work with children in an elementary school.
Choice 2 : Work with teenagers in a high school.
Full-time tutoring.
Since my secondary graduation, I've been tutoring French to elementary and high school students. At a certain point, this tutoring experience made me wonder if teaching was really something that I wanted to pursue later as a future path of a career. How could I deal with an entire class if I could not even deal with a single child? Children didn't want to listen to my explanations and some ignored me completely while I was there. I've faced too many difficulties even if I haven't started to actually teach, so I was already discouraged. Should I give up my dream career because I don't have confidence in myself or should I persevere to achieve it by applying in Education at University of Montreal?
Choice 1 : Give up my dream to become a teacher.
Choice 2 : University of Montreal.
Live according to my parents' expectations.
Try again. This option is unavailable. Be happy above all!

Give up my dream to become a teacher.
My lack of self-confidence increases too much my anxiety and I know that it's really not a good thing for my mental health. For this reason, I preferred to abandon my dream career even if I'm heartbroken. As a perfectionist, I've always wanted to be a straight A's student, but not being able to reach my goal really affected me and also caused my lack of self-confidence. Honestly, I hadn't planned a plan B because I was sure to pursue my studies in Education, so I didn't expect to change my career direction. I'm so desperate and don't know what will happen... What's my next step? Take a sabbatical year to reflect on myself and my future or do a dead-end job such as working in a grocery store.
Choice 1 : Sabbatical year.
Choice 2 : Work as a cashier in a grocery store.
Work with children in an elementary school.
I'm so happy to be a freshman in Early Childhood and Elementary Education at University of Montreal. To get my bachelor’s degree, I need to do four internships that will allow me to get even more experience in teaching while I also test drive the profession. Also, I have an offer to do my training in a Montreal school.
Choice 1 : Internship in Montreal.
Work with teenagers in a high school.
I'm so happy to be a freshman in Teaching History at University of Montreal. Before choosing this program, I hadn't thought of all that involved teaching in secondary school and since I realized it, it is something that bothers me very much. Last week, I had to look after my younger cousin on the weekend since its parents were going to the funeral of one of their relatives in Saguenay. This teenager was arrogant with me all the time and very lazy, a typical behaviour for a teenager in puberty. Even though I am passionate about history, I don't want to deal with this type of behaviour all day long if this is the case. Right now, I'm regretting having chosen this program and I think that I should transfer into Early Childhood and Elementary Education to work with children? I think that is the best option..
Choice 1 : Work with children in an elementary school.
Sabbatical year.
I chose to take a sabbatical year to reflect on myself and my future. However, this break hurt me rather than helped me. My head ended up being full of depressive thoughts affecting severely my mood and my happiness. Indeed, I had too much time to think how disappointing I was of myself not to be able to pursue my dream career just because of my lack of confidence. Until now, I didn't know how I did to manage my stress and the pressure, but this is something that couldn't continue because I know that I was going to explode. How could I handle my life if I was always overwhelmed by my anxiety? I didn't want to live a life with constant fear and not to be able to face reality. So, what's are my last option?
Choice 1 : Death.
Death.
Try again. The story ended by your suicide.

Graduation from university.
I just graduated from university and I need to take an important decision. Indeed, I can enter right away the labor market and try to find a job in an elementary school. If I work sooner, I will save faster for my retirement, so I need to be thoughtful about it. However, I would also like to enjoy my youth for a little long time. Indeed, I've always wanted to travel around the world especially in East Asia to see the beautiful landscapes and to learn more about the culture. If I go to work, I would not necessarily have the time to travel freely as I want. What should I do? Enter the labour marker or enjoy my youth by travelling?
Choice 1 : Labour market.
Choice 2 : Volunteering abroad.
Work as a cashier in a grocery store.
Since I didn't have any other options than going to Education at University of Montreal, I decided to work as a cashier in a grocery store. When I first entered the company, I started my OJT as a trainee with my colleagues to learn properly the ins-and-outs of the job. However, this training was hard to follow because they wanted me to learn quickly the practical skills, so my manager decided to let me experience the job on my own. After 2 years of work, I wasn't happy to work in the grocery store anymore because I didn't feel respected at all by my manager, so it was unpleasant and scary to work every day with him. However, I felt at ease and skillful with my job, so I was planning to continue working there for a long time. What's your next step?
Choice 1 : Dead-end job.
Dead-end job.
I've been working more than two years as a cashier in the grocery store and my wage didn't increase at all. The company wasn't grateful for what I've done until now, so I just realized that this job would be endless. Indeed, I didn't have any other reasons to stay anymore, so I decided to quit the job. Try again!

Internship in Montreal.
I decided to do my internship in Montreal. Indeed, I was doing my training in a school to get more experience in the field of education. As an intern, it was a good opportunity to learn the ropes of the teaching profession but my internship was really bad. Indeed, the teacher associated to my internship was recognized as the worst and the scariest teacher on the school board. Everyday was a torture for me and I just wanted to leave her side whenever I had the chance. When something was not as she wanted, she yelled at me that I was incompetent. What should I do? Continue my internship with her because I want to get my diploma as soon as possible? I will try to endure her a little bit.
Choice 1 : Graduation from university.
Choice 2 : Change to another school.
Labour market.
I chose to enter the labour market right away after my university graduation. Indeed, I find a job as a teacher in an elementary school near my house. Everything was going well. I taught to children, prepared some activities for them and it was very pleasant. However, I noticed a strange behaviour from the physical teacher six months after my arrival. At first, I thought that my male colleague was flirting with me because he was always staring at me with a sweet look, but it wasn't only that. Once, after school, I was alone in my classroom, and he came to me and tried to kiss me several times even if I rejected him each time. His misconduct became gradually sexual harassment. How should I handle this matter? Be silent or denounce his inappropriate behaviour? Of course, I had to denounce this important matter.
Choice 1 : Denounce the physical teacher to the director.
Volunteering abroad.
After my university graduation, I could finally rest and do what makes me happy. Enjoy my youth was very important to me because I wouldn't necessarily have the time and the opportunity to travel later. For this reason, I decided to get involved in a humanitarian project in Vietnam. As a new teacher, my purpose was to help poor foreign schools by offering them my teaching services, so I could teach French to children from the countryside where schools don't necessarily have educative resources and assistance.
Choice 1 : Stay in Vietnam for the rest of my life.
Choice 2 : Return to Canada.
Stay in Vietnam for the rest of my life.
After one year of teaching, I decided to stay in Vietnam and never come back in Canada because I was where I belonged. This is the end of the story.

Change to another school.
I decided to continue my internship in another school known to be one of the best on the board. As it said, it was indeed the truth. My new mentor was very nice to me and her advice came in handy when it was time to manage the classroom by myself. Furthermore, I felt that I acquired more skills and get even more experience of teaching thanks to her. I prepared some activities to do with the children and even if it didn't go as I planned, it wasn't hell. Right now, I felt even more confident to become a teacher and I'm excited to enter the labour market on my own.
Choice 1 : Graduation from university.
Return to Canada.
After being three months in Vietnam, I decided to come back to Montreal. I couldn't handle anymore the long distance between my family and me. After each day of work, I came back to my bedroom and cried until my eyes were completely dry and that happened because I missed my family so much. Indeed, I came alone to an unknown country and with a culture completely different from mine, so I was destabilized. What's my next project? I need to do my internship in Montreal to get my bachelor's degree.
Choice 1 : Internship in Montreal.
Retirement.
I'm 55 years old and I'm so exhausted from all those years of teaching. I can finally retire now that I saved enough money to live well by myself in addition to the pension that I will receive from the government. Furthermore, I have a cardiac disease for a few months and I don't have much time to live, so I want to enjoy all the little pleasures of life and die happily.

Denounce the physical teacher to the director.
I chose to denounce the sexual harassment of the physical teacher to the director because it was an inappropriate behaviour. Also, I felt very bad because I had a boyfriend, so how was I supposed to feel when I saw him knowing that another man tried to kiss me against my will? Even though I was traumatized by this event, I tried to continue working every day trying to avoid my colleague as much as possible. Fifty-five years had passed since this incident and it was time to rest a little bit after all these years of work. What should I do? Retire?
