Handicapped

To me, being capable physically starts with the mental basics. Mentally, I am advantaged because I can deal with stress, and not break down. Sometimes I get a little frustrated, but I can easily handle that with a bucket of balls, my stick Maui, and a target. Breaking windows with a power shot really helps take the pain away. My weakeness mentally is expressing how I really feel. Sharing my feelings and opening up is my mental handicap.
I am short. Sometimes, it can be an advantage. But most of the time, it just makes me an easy target for intimidation. Also, physically my short legs get me no where. I am always the last one walking in a group of tall freinds. It can get me left behind as well. However, physically I can run short distances in good time. On field- surface sprints are probably one of my strenghts, along with my long nail beds. Everyone is handicapped in some aspect, and strong in others. I've learned to live with the fact that I will probably never be any taller then five feet one inch, and that not everyoen is perfect.

Cadaverous:
I definitely want to die the least pain-filled way possible. Even now, at age 14, I fear dying, although it is so far away. When I die, I'd like to go peacefully. After I die in a serene sleep, I beleive that there is an afterlife waiting for me. There I will see all of those deceased that I once knew. As a Jewish custom, I want to be burried, not creamated. Creamation seems so painful, although you are dead. I want to stay under the earth forever, or until nuclear wars tear me apart. Some people would like their ashes to be spread all around the world, or their body donated to science. Me, I want to peacefully enjoy my after life, knowing where my dead body lays.
