70 is Young

"I am more than 70 years old. When you study geriatric later on, you will find that 70-75 years is considered young elderly. So I am young, and let's forget the next word."

Prof. Emeritus Dr. Leila Kamel
Introduction to Public Health

She really looked younger than 70; her face wasn't shagging and her voice was clear with fluent English. The fact that she's also computer-literate boosted my spirit of learning.

Education is the number one socioeconomic determinants of health. It keeps you in high spirit and in order and despite growing older, inside you can be as young as you feel. It gives you a sense of control over life circumstances.

At 70, how do I envision myself to be?
