A Day in the life
The life of a 12 year old in Honduras is similar to mind when I was 12 years old but there is a slight difference. There life is mainly based on there education level. In Honduras, when a 12 year old wakes up then they are expected to go to school but a lot of things get in the way of that such as, if the child's family is poor, there is limited food for the child to eat, there's a high percentage that there might not be running water (so no shower or teeth brushing), and transportation is "by foot". Because of the lack of schools, little staff members, and cost for material needed for school, the majority of children between the age of seven and fourteen don't go. If the child can not go to school he/she spends most of there day searching for necessary for the house. A 12 year old in Honduras has more to bring to the table then a 12 year old in America which is pretty much themselves.
I sort of expected Honduran children to be in school but I didn't expect so many of them to drop out or not complete there primary education. Based off of my information as to what a 12 year old does, i think that when that child turns forty then they would search for a adult education and try to pursue a dream of theirs. They would probably hitch a ride to another country and search for a better opportunity to better their life. What will have stayed the same is there ability to hunt for what they need and what will change is there results. They would have a lot more options now that they are older.
