When Usain Bolt was a young boy growing up in Jamaica, his parents took him to thedoctor because he couldn’t keep still He was gifted at cricket, his first love “But I justhappened to run fast They said, try track and field, and I continued because it was easyand I was winning And my dad said I should concentrate on running because it’s anindividual sport and, if you do good, you do good for yourself.”

Nobody can hold a light to Usain Bolt - he is a one-off There’s the size, for a start: 1.96metres (ideal sprinters are thought to be no more than 1.85 metres) Then there’s thescoliosis, a curved spine which means one leg is shorter than the other This conditionshould have made it impossible for him to have a career in sport And the attitude - atwarm-up his rivals look as if they will explode with tension, but Bolt smiles, even dances.And, of course, Bolt is said to be the fastest man ever, although he wasn’t even giving hisall when he broke the 100 and 200 metre records Bolt maintains that he isn’t quite as cooland laid-back as he appears to be There are things that bother him “I try not to let them,but they do.” For example, he says he was so uptight before the junior worldchampionships final - where he became the youngest gold medallist at the age of 15 - that

he put his shoes on the wrong feet “I’ve never been so nervous in my whole life I wasshaking because everyone was expecting me to get a medal.”

Winning that race changed his whole life, but for much of the next three years he wasinjured That’s when Jamaica turned on him His own people said he was undisciplined,

he partied too much And yes, he did; but the truth was he was suffering with his spine.People, he says, are quick to criticize Even now, “People say I’m always partying Well, I

do party I work hard and I’m going to enjoy myself I’m not going to let people hold meback That’s when the stress comes in and when you get stressed you start to lose it” Boltarrived in athletics at a time when the profession had lost a lot of respect over drug-taking Here was a man who looked and acted differently In 2008, though, he had to beg

his coach to let him run the 100m at the Beijing Olympics It took a lot of persuasionbecause Bolt had been running the distance for less than a year and was surviving on adiet of junk food Despite that, not only did he win gold but he broke the 100 metresworld record.

a better person

Body

Paragraph 1

• All relationships involve trust

- If you are friends with a person for a long time, you have a responsibility to that person

Example: Helping in difficult situations, telling secrets and problems.

• If you did not make any effort to maintain your friendship, you would not be fulfilling your responsibility and you would be betraying the friendship

• Trying to make long-term friendships makes one a better person by encouraging one to act in a less selfish manner

Example: A person who never worries about keeping his old friends would have no basic control over his behaviour and end up hurting his friends.

How do I manage difficulties with hearing?

When caring for someone who has hearing loss or is deaf, it’s important to:

- make sure you have their attention and stand in front of them when speaking.

- look at the person as you speak

- speak slowly and clearly, but do not over-emphasise or distort your lipmovements as this can make it difficult for people to read your lips

- not shout - although sometimes it may be necessary to speak louder

- remember that shouting can make it hard for people to lip-read

- try to use body language and facial expressions when you speak as this helpsgive the person you are speaking to some context in case they missed part ofwhat you said

- write messages down so they can read them if it’s appropriate

- understand that beards, moustaches, chewing and putting hands in front of yourface can obscure communication

- avoid talking in a noisy environment, or try to reduce background noise whenpossible

- speak directly to the deaf person and not to the interpreter if an Auslan (signlanguage) interpreter is present

- make sure that hearing aids are functioning, being used effectively and checkedregularly

Caring for a child with a disability

If you have a child with a disability, you need to know about the various services in place

to support you Legally, a child is someone under the age of 18 years Often however,parents (or other family members) continue to care for children with disabilities long afterthey reach adulthood

Children with disabilities are entitled to the same services and family benefits as all otherchildren The emphasis in the following information is on those services and paymentsspecifically related to disability They apply whether the child was born with the disability

Parents have an obligation to maintain their children until adulthood Although a child

with a disability may be maintained by their parents after the age of 18, this does notprovide them with any special entitlement to provision in a parent’s will

You may use a covenant as a tax-efficient way to give money to a child aged over 18, butthis could affect the child’s entitlement to Disability Allowance

If you want to make specific provision for your child, you should get legal advice Oneoption is a trust from which your child may benefit after your death Many parents usediscretionary trusts to provide for a child with a disability without affecting entitlement tobenefits

Most public sector occupational pension schemes, and some private sector schemes, haveprovisions that allow for the pension arrangements for dependent children to continue forthe lifetime of a permanently incapacitated child

disability A learning disability represents one area of weakness, but there are many moreareas of strengths Focus on your child’s gifts and talents Your child’s life - and schedule
