Choose one of the potential physical challenges of growing older--osteoporosis, arthritis, hearing loss, Alzheimer's disease, glaucoma, and so on; if possible, choose one that has affected a member of your family or someone you know. Do a Web search to identify strategies for both preventing the problem and coping with the problem if it does occur. (Coping strategies can apply to either the affected person or to her or his caregivers.)
