Becoming a Paramedic
When should I start?
I just graduated from secondary school last June, and I had one of the best summers of my life doing many activities with family and friends. When I was 6 years old, I broke my left arm during karate practice and I went to the hospital in the ambulance. It was a stressful moment but I remember admiring the paramedics. To see the big yellow car with all the medical materials impressed me a lot. Since then, I have always wanted to become like them. Now it's the time. I did not have a part-time job during secondary school so my money is very limited and I need money to pay for my semester and for all of my books. Should I work full time for a year before applying? Or should should I start this year spending almost all my money for school?
Choice 1 : Work a year before apply to the program.
Choice 2 : Start this years with less money.
Work a year before apply to the program.
Great, after working 30 hours per week for almost a year plus all the overtime, I will have plenty of money to put aside for school and for many other things. I might not work during school and focus on my study, I don't want to have a foot in the door.
Choice 1 : Stay in Quebec.
Choice 2 : Going somewhere else.
Start this years with less money.
Well, this is not stupid because I can spend less money during my technique and finish it all a years before and getting well-paid as a paramedic. Now I need to decide if I stay in Quebec to study or if I go somewhere else.
Choice 1 : Stay in Quebec.
Choice 2 : Go somewhere else.
Stay in Quebec.
Quebec is a nice place to study. I live there since I am a kid and I know the place well. Study in Quebec is not very expensive compared to other country. It seems like I need to endure the snow for a long time again!
Choice 1 : Study in Montreal At Ahuntsic college.
Choice 2 : Study in Sherbrooke.
Going somewhere else.
This is an opportunity to leave the home and go live by my own a lot of new challenges.
Choice 1 : Go to Toronto.
Choice 2 : Go to Florida.
Study in Montreal At Ahuntsic college.
Ahuntsic is the bigger and the most popular college for this technique. There is a section at the college only for the paramedic where I would spend almost all my time. Normally, the technique can be done in 3 years, but a lot of students extend it into a 4-year technique because the charge of work is to big and there is a big risk of failing some courses. Should I try to do the technique in 3 years or should I be safe and do it in 4 years?
Choice 1 : Do it all in 3 years.
Choice 2 : Do it in 4 years.
Study in Sherbrooke.
This is the second most popular college in Quebec for the technique, I'm going to be happy there!
Choice 1 : Study in Montreal At Ahuntsic college.

Go to Toronto.
I want to stay in my country, but I don't want this all project to become complicated. I want to try another kind of challenge, but I don't want to be completely lost.

Choice 2 : Go to Florida.
Write a choice here.
Go to Florida.
I am tired of the cold winter in Canada and I want to be in a sunshine place not far away from the beach. I spend a lot of time in my life out there, so I know the place well. Now, I need to pack my swimsuit and my Lightning and Panthers jersey, hockey ticket are not very expensive out there!
Choice 1 : Stay in Quebec.
Choice 2 : Go to Toronto.
Do it all in 3 years.
This is daring, but doable. I will have 9 courses at each semester, so I will need to be serious and well-organized.
Choice 1 : Failure.
Do it in 4 years.
This is safe. I will have about 6 or 7 courses a semester which is more doable. I should be able to keep some time to clear my head and do things I love.
Choice 1 : Failure.
Failure.
The work charge was more intense that I thought and I failed my first bio course and I don't know what to do. Should I try to study in another program or should I stay here and try to pass this course next year even if this failure can extend my technique?
Choice 1 : Stay in the technique.
Choice 2 : Try to study in other program.
Stay in the technique.
I am a combatant, one failure will not stop me. I will do my best to pass all of my courses. Now I know what to expect.
Choice 1 : 3 years after.
Try to study in other program.
It's sad, but I think this is the right choice. If I failed a course at the first semester, I will probable fail many others and I don't want to waste my time! I am sure that I can find another exciting job!
Choice 1 : Stay in the technique.
Hang out with friends.
Yes, it's been a long time since I have seen them! This is a nice way to relax and give to my head a little break before the exam.

Stay at home and study again.
I think you are right. It is probably safer to stay at home and study again. More often I study, more chances I have to pass the exam!

3 years later, I am now a day before my big exam to officially become a paramedic. It's been several days that I study a lot for this exam and I think I am ready.
