Comparing

Well, I'm late, but I was asked to compare life here to life over in the Ukraine. As a reminder to any readers who may not know me, I live in Ontario, Canada.

I will begin with What I expect/intend to get done in life:
-I expect to grow up
-I expected to finish elementary
-I expect to graduate High school
-I expect to go to College and or university
-I expect to get a good job
-I expect to be able to woo a girl (well, okay, I have that done)
-I expect to get married and be able to support a family off my job
-I expect to be able to travel to work everyday in a vehicle on smooth roads and with nice music
-I expect to get all the newest technology
-I expect to be strong and eat well
-I expect to be independent
-I expect to retire
-I expect a safe place to call home
-I expect a clean environment

Now... I think that's fair to say. I also think it fair to say that society here expects the same from anyone here. Yet out of these not all are realities even here. How much more so then for the poorer villages such as Stepanovka? I could say these for them (mind you this is from what I know):
-Grow up
-Go to and finish elementary?
-Get a job, or at least a way to live
-Be able to woo a girl (they might be better than us at that, I don't know :P )
-Get married and have a family
-Get to work every day
-Try to keep healthy and strong
-Be independent
-Have a home

Out of the ones I had for myself, these are the ones I think they are able to get,  and notice the difference in wording. I purposefully did not copy-paste. Anyways, that is brief and easy. For more details, click on "want to know more"
