THE BOLD AND BASHFUL

When I was a child, I was very bashful,because in many situation I have been felt so nervous in from of the other people. I do not  know if this is to consequence about my fisical discapacity, because in those time I syffer a lot of mockery from my partners" school  and some of my neighbors.  In those time I only left of my house to the school because the other childrn bothered me for my way to walk.

 I feel that I"m a little bashful when I have an exposition or when I am between of a big public which I have to begin to talk in these moment I feel butterflies in my stomach.

Nowadays I acquaainted to be a litte extroverted, more sociable, a litte bold and assertive with my desicions and my behavior ,I share more with friends and partners. I often lieve to enjoy of the live because I notice that the shy person become immersed  in their own judgement. So don"t put risk they have, so do not win nor lose.

THE OLDEST OLD:
People aged over 85 are the fastest growing age-group in our population. What was formerly a small group of exceptional individuals is rapidly becoming a whole new generation. Our longevity is to be celebrated, but we are concerned that people making key decisions concerning the welfare needs of those aged over 85 know relatively little about what is unique, or indeed not unique, about this group.
