Ahuntsic college...where it all started.

When I decided to enroll in the Paralegal program, a new life began, and I had to make choices about my future life as a future paralegal.

Choice 1 : Procrastinate with my homework.

Choice 2 : Get ahead with my homework.

Procrastinate with my homework.

I've always had facility in school as a student. However, like many students, I've always had a problem with time management. I still pull of my degree, but it was very difficult, and I had to double my effort. I was discouraged and I no longer knew what to do with my future.

Choice 1 : Volunteering in Kenya.

Choice 2 : Apply in a lawyer’s office as a paralegal.

Get ahead with my homework.

From a young age, I have always been thoughtful concerning my studies and this habit followed me to college. Procrastination was not an option for me, getting straight A's has been all that mattered. I tried to put aside any distraction and focused on what was really important to become an excellent paralegal. Because of my excellent grades, I could continue my law studies, or I could go work and make money.

Choice 1 : Apply to McGill University in criminal law.

Choice 2 : Apply in a lawyer’s office as a paralegal.

Apply to McGill University in criminal law.

Unfortunately, in college, I focused too much on my studies and didn’t think to find a part-time job to pay my law school. Who would have thought that studying too much at school would have held me back in my dreams?

Choice 1 : Go back to the started and make better choice.

Apply in a lawyer’s office as a paralegal.

After I finished my program, I received my college degree, and I immediately started looking for a job. I was not sure in which legal field I want to apply.

Choice 1 : Apply in a law firm.

Choice 2 : Apply in a notary's office.

Apply in a law firm.

I was finally hired in the most prestigious law firm in Montreal. I wasn't hired as an intern. The firm offered me an on-the-job-training with a wage and, I had the choice to choose my trainee.

Choice 1 : Choose Pablo.

Choice 2 : Choose Patricia.

Apply in a notary's office.

I applied in the office of my former professor of business law at college. Unfortunately, she did not accept my application because in 2019, she heard a conversation with my friends, and I said that the notaries were boring, and they were useless. Sometimes talking too much can have serious consequences.

Choice 1 : Apply in a law firm.

Choose Patrick.

I choose Patrick because in the past I had bad experiences with women, but this time, I don't think It was a good idea. He was hindering my private life a little bit too much. I was getting sucked up in a very embarrassing situation. At first, it was more flirtation but over time it turned into harassment. I didn't know what to do.

Choice 1 : Do nothing and continue my work.

Choice 2 : Contact the Human Resources Department.

Choose Patricia.

Surprisingly, I got along very well with Patricia. All the tools she gave me were really comes in handy during my on-the-job-training. I started to learn the ropes and with time I became a better paralegal. My progress allowed me to obtain a premium wage. I stayed 20 years in this office, and I was tired a little bit.

Choice 1 : Retire.

Choice 2 : Continue to work.

Volunteering in Kenya.

I went to Kenya as a volunteer paralegal. I was helping other legal professional. They offered me a premium wage, but I refused because for me It was an invaluable experience. One day, I had to go, to the jungle to find evidence for our case and a huge lion appeared in front of me. It was already too late, the lion had swallowed me up.

Choice 1 : Start again

Contact the Human Resources Department.

The Human Resources Department took the complaint very seriously. They immediately made a background check on Patrick. They discovered that his criminal record was clean. On the other hand, several complaints have been filed but have never been deliberated in court. The HR proposed me two options.

Choice 1 : Takes time to unwind.

Choice 2 : Prosecute Patrick in court.

Do nothing and continue my work.

Three months passed and one day, I finished work late because I was working on files that had to be brought to court the next day. Patrick proposed to take me home. I was dread because of all his misconduct these past months, but I had no other choice. On the way, he tried to kiss me many times. I tried to deter him, but he was still trying. He got angry and kidnapped me. I've never seen daylight since.

Choice 1 : Start again

Takes time to unwind.

The Human Resources Department offered me a leave of absence of two weeks. They were understandable with my situation, and they didn't want to see me resign from my workstation because I was one of the most competent paralegals. Also, Kevin the most important lawyer in the firm offered me to come and work with him in criminal law since there was a vacant position in his team.

Choice 1 : Accept his offer.

Prosecute Patrick in court.

It was a long hearing because we collected as many testimonies as possible from Patrick's victims. The court let me choose Patrick's sentence.

Choice 1 : Apologize him.

Choice 2 : Sent him in prison.

Accept his offer.

Making the choice to accept his proposal was the best I could do in my career. A lot of leg work was necessary because Kevin worked with several lawyers in foreign countries like France, the United Kingdom, China, and more. But one day, he asked me to accompany him to Paris for a file.

Choice 1 : Go to Paris.

Choice 2 : Don't go to Paris.

Retire.

Retiring was the best decision to make. All my career I set aside money in order to enjoy my retirement because as a paralegal I received no pension by the government. I had no debt, and my mortgage was completely paid. All I had to do was enjoy and travel.

Choice 1 : Start again

Go to Paris.

Finally, the purpose of the trip was not for work. He proposed to me at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. Since then, we haven't left each other.

Choice 1 : Start again

Don't go to Paris.

He was disappointed with my decision. It was only two weeks later that he confessed to me that he wanted to marry me during this trip. But he wasn't sure anymore. I lost my chance to live a real fairy tale.

Choice 1 : Start again

Continue to work.

Making the decision to keep working probably wasn't the best outcome at my age. I fell into depression because of all the drive of work.

Choice 1 : Start again

Forgive him.

I decided to forgive him because I don't think a human should spend the rest of his life behind bars. Patrick has made a lot of progress since this event. Despite the fact that he was fired, he managed to rebuild his life.

Choice 1 : Start again.

Sent him in prison.

I decided to send him to prison to do justice to all the victims. I was hoping that the prison would allow him to question himself on his actions. Unfortunately, he managed to escape from prison since that day, no one heard about him.
