J\u2019ai 17 ans et en juin dernier, j\u2019ai particip\u00e9 en tant que b\u00e9n\u00e9vole aux Olympiades canadiennes des m\u00e9tiers et des technologies pour la toute premi\u00e8re fois.<\/p>\n
Je n\u2019avais jamais vraiment su en quoi consistaient les Olympiades. Ma m\u00e8re, qui travaille au sein de Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences Canada, avait bien essay\u00e9 de me les d\u00e9crire. Toutefois, je ne comprenais pas comment on pouvait tenir des concours de plomberie, d\u2019am\u00e9nagement paysager ou encore de coiffure. En fait, je ne m\u2019\u00e9tais jamais arr\u00eat\u00e9 pour penser \u00e0 ce qu\u2019\u00e9taient les m\u00e9tiers, puisque ces domaines ne me semblaient pas tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressants.<\/p>\n
Lorsque je suis arriv\u00e9 dans les installations o\u00f9 se tenaient les Olympiades, j\u2019ai pu constater que les concurrents et les concurrentes \u00e9taient des jeunes de mon \u00e2ge. Tous et toutes travaillaient tr\u00e8s fort, ils \u00e9taient fiers de leur travail et avaient vraiment l\u2019air d\u2019y prendre plaisir. J\u2019avais envie de me joindre \u00e0 eux\u00a0!<\/p>\n
J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 plut\u00f4t \u00e9tonn\u00e9 de voir la diversit\u00e9 des m\u00e9tiers sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s, ils comportaient des domaines tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rents de la charpenterie ou de l\u2019\u00e9lectricit\u00e9, par exemple. Il y avait des concours de cuisine, de photographie, de conception de sites Web, de technologie informatique, de production vid\u00e9o, de peinture automobile et de robotique, pour n\u2019en nommer que quelques-uns. Il y en avait dont je ne connaissais m\u00eame pas l\u2019existence!<\/p>\n
Une fois les concours termin\u00e9s, j\u2019ai pu voir les produits finis qu\u2019avaient cr\u00e9\u00e9s les concurrents et les concurrents. J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tout \u00e0 fait \u00e9bloui par la complexit\u00e9 des projets r\u00e9alis\u00e9s en quelques jours seulement. Il \u00e9tait \u00e9vident pourquoi ces jeunes \u00e9taient les meilleurs au Canada et peut-\u00eatre au monde.<\/p>\n
J\u2019ai toujours cru que j\u2019irais droit \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 apr\u00e8s mes \u00e9tudes secondaires. Toutefois, je n\u2019en suis pas aussi certain, j\u2019ai de nouvelles options \u00e0 examiner maintenant. Peut-\u00eatre qu\u2019un jour je pourrai, moi aussi, dire que je suis le meilleur au monde dans un m\u00e9tier sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
