Abstract
Recently celebrating the ten-year anniversary of its independence, Ukraine is a country that for those ten years has been plagued with the need for drastic social and economic reform. The people are desperate for the freedoms a word like “independence” promises, but the opportunities just don’t seem to exist for many. Discouragement sets in followed shortly by apathy, and soon they are faced with a close relative of the chicken and the egg conundrum: do people lack ambition because there are no opportunities, or are there no opportunities because the people lack ambition. While I do not offer an answer to this riddle, I did feel a responsibility as a fellow struggling human being to try and devise a solution to the situation, no matter how small of a result my efforts might yield.
