My career as a paramedic.

I just graduated from my technique in Prehospital Emergency Care.

I just graduated from my technique at Ahuntsic College. I finally got my diploma and I have to get a job. I applied at multiple companies to get to work quickly. I heard back from two of them. The first one is "Dessercom", located in Quebec City. I have to move if I take this one. The second one is "Services Préhopistalier Laurentides Lanaudières" or "SPLL", located in the Laurentiens and Lanaudière. I might have to move if I take this one.

Choice 1 : I choose to work at SPLL.

Choice 2 : I choose to work at Dessercom.

Paramedics at work.

I choose to work at SPLL.

I accepted the job offer from SPLL. The human resources of the company asked me if I wanted to work downtown or in the countryside.

Choice 1 : I choose to work downtown.

Choice 2 : I choose to work in the countryside.

Laurentides

I choose to work downtown.

I started working as a paramedic for a year now. I get along well with all of my coworkers and I helped many citizens of Quebec City. My bosses are really impressed with the work that I do. They asked me if I were interested in becoming a supervisor.

Choice 1 : I become a supervisor.

Choice 2 : I refuse the promotion of supervisor.

Paramedic

I choose to work in the countryside.

I have been working as a paramedic for a while now. I usually work during the day, but my boss asked me if I could cover for one of my colleagues during a night shift.

Choice 1 : I choose to cover for my colleague and take the night shift.

Choice 2 : I refuse to cover for my colleague, so I don't take the night shift.

I become a supervisor.

After months of hard work, I finally got my promotion. I am now a supervisor! I have never been happier. In addition to having the job that I enjoy, I'll have a better salary and a much better retirement plan.

Choice 1 : I get to choose my retirement plan.

Money from promotion

I refuse the promotion of supervisor.

Since I didn't want anymore responsibility, and I'm currently satisfied with the work that I do, I refused to become a supervisor. My boss asked me if I could cover the night shift to help one of my colleagues.

Choice 1 : I choose to cover for my colleague and take the night shift.

Choice 2 : I refuse to cover for my colleague, so I don't take the night shift.

Night road

I choose to cover for my colleague and take the night shift.

It's been a while since I worked a night shift. Hopefully, my partner is used to it and can give me some clues, so I don't feel lost. We have to answer a call far away from the city, I offered to drive even if I'm not used to driving during the night.

Choice 1 : I get into a car accident.

Night road during winter

I refuse to cover for my colleague, so I don't take the night shift.

I prefer to work during the day, so I refused to work the night shift. My boss understood this decision, and asked me to choose my retirement plan to be well-prepared for when the time comes.

Choice 1 : I get to choose my retirement plan.

My boss showed me the different retirement plan and pension. I have the choice between retiring with less money at 55 years old, or at 65 years with more money.

Choice 1 : I retire and decide to travel. However, I wonder if I could've made better choices.

I finally retired at 65 years old. I have enough money to travel, but since I'm getting older, I decide to go on a road trip in the United States of America. I plan to travel for a year, so that I have enough time to see every state. I will leave during the winter to skip the cold weather of Quebec.

Choice 1 : I get into a car accident.

I get along well with both of them, and we haven't had any arguments yet.

I choose to work with Gabriel.

I get along well with Gabriel. I spend most of my time with him since we are working 12 hours, and sometimes more, every day. Even when we're not working, we go out, and spend most of our free time together. We have known each other for a few years now, and he told me that he was in love with me. I don't know if we should stay friends, or if we should be in a relationship.

Choice 1 : We became very close friends.

Choice 2 : We get married after 6 years.

I choose to work with Mary.

Since I have chosen to partner up with Mary, we get along even better than before. We spend all of our time together. We even decided to move in together. We met each other's relatives, and we are always there for one another. The other night, as we were watching our favorite TV show, she told me that she had feelings for me. I didn't know how to react and told her that I needed time to give her an answer. Should we stay friends or should we be in a relationship?

Choice 1 : We became very close friends.

Choice 2 : We get married after 6 months.

I get attacked by someone suffering from a psychosis.

As we get there, the neighbours ask my partner and myself to quickly go in because they fear for the person. I decide to go in first since I know the victim, I've already dealt with them. I see that the person is clearly having a psychotic episode, as usual. I try to get close, but I didn't see that they had a weapon.

Choice 1 : I died during the attack.

apartment

I died during the attack.

Even if I knew the patient, I should've waited for the police to get there. If I had waited, the officers would've had secured the apartment and try to calm down the person. These actions would've secured our intervention. Instead, I went in and put myself in danger. The patient attacked me and tried to attack my partner. He didn't want to risk his life, so he waited for the police to get there, but unfortunately, I didn't survive the attack.

Choice 1 : I should've made better choices. Try again.

graveyard

We became very close friends.

I didn't want to ruin the dynamic that we already have, so I decided to stay friends with them. They took my decision well. It was awkward for the first few days, but we eventually got our dynamic back. The other day, we discussed our retirement plan, and I realise that I never planned it with the human resources.

Choice 1 : I get to choose my retirement plan.

He cheats on me.

A few years down the road, Gabriel starts acting weird when I mention one of our new colleagues. I get very suspicious and read his text messages while he's sleeping. I found out that he is cheating on me with her! He was lying to me for a few months, and telling me that he was going out with his friends, but instead he was seeing her. I am furious and devastated. We get into a big argument, and I decide to divorce him.

Choice 1 : I am devastated. I should've made better choices. Try again.

We get married after 6 months.

After just a few months of knowing each other, we decided to go on a vacation in Hawaii to get married there. We got married on a beautiful beach surrounded by our close friends and family.
