Age and Politics in Peculiar
*Jane Wilcox* sat in her living room in Peculiar, Missouri, the news echoing from the television. As the reporter discussed the ages of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, she couldn't help but think of her own aging father. Stepping Into Action had helped her work through those difficult times, and now this news was triggering memories of her father's cognitive decline. Jane's father had suffered from dementia in his later years, and seeing the potential future presidents in their late 70s and early 80s reminded her of those painful experiences. She wondered how they could possibly handle the demands of the presidency at such an advanced age. Feeling overwhelmed by these thoughts, Jane decided to revisit the Stepping Into Action program she had found so helpful in the past. The program's emphasis on personal growth and self-discovery had given her the tools to navigate her father's illness with more resilience. 'The challenges we face in life can either hold us back or propel us forward,' *Jane* mused, remembering a quote from the program that had resonated with her. 'It's time for me to step into action once again.' As Jane delved back into the program's materials, she encountered conflicting opinions from experts on the impact of age on cognitive abilities. Some argued that the risks of decline were significant, while others maintained that wisdom and experience could compensate for any potential deficits. Despite the controversy surrounding the topic, Jane found solace in the program's emphasis on self-awareness and personal growth. Regardless of the candidates' ages or cognitive abilities, she realized that her own journey of self-discovery was what truly mattered. In the end, Jane was grateful for the opportunity to revisit the Stepping Into Action program. While it was difficult to find resources in her small town, the online program provided her with the tools she needed to navigate the challenges of aging and personal growth. As she continued on her path of self-discovery, she felt a renewed sense of purpose and resilience.
