As a young child in elementary school, I thought all children in my age group were nice, friendly and likeable. During lunch breaks and recess / playtime when adults were not watching that I found that was not true. Also in this elementary school, on occasion students were treated to ice cream treats in the afternoon on hot day. The school did not have air conditioning. The students who behaved well, completed their assignments and made good grade were selected to help in distributing the ice cream treats from course to course. This I liked. Therefore, I did what was needed to be a part of distributing the ice cream. My family moved during my fifth-grade year. I was transferred to a different school. My new school had no such program and offered no perks to students who excelled. I did not like this school at all.
