Today's Question

Describe a typical day when you were a child in elementary school.

When I was in elementary school they didnt have kindergarten. We moved alot when I was young so I don't really remember much about most of my elementary years. So the years I do remember are 2nd grade, 3rd grade and sixth grade.
I attended the same school for these years even though we lived in different houses, we lived in two different houses on the same block.
I dont think I stayed at the same school for more than two school years until I was in high school. A typical day of school for me was getting up and eating cold cereal or oatmeal then walking how ever far the school was from home. I never took the bus to school until I was in high school. I remember walking to shcool by myself because my younger brother went to a different school then I did. My older brother was always a grade ahead so he had his own friends and walked with them. I would walk down the street singing to myself.At school I was very shy and quiet. I loved school espically reading. I remember going to library and checking out 3 or 4 chapter books every week. My parents were divorced when I was young and so we came home to a babysitter because my mother worked at night. She slept during the day. So during the school day my life was somewhat normal. I did the same things at the same time every day. I had meals at the same time. We had spelling bees, math, social studies, PE wasn't really offered that I remember. Music was a part of my daily school day. Art was even a part of school. We used paste most of the time (No I did not eat the paste) not glue. In third grade I was sick alot with throat infections. ( I think now it is called strep throat). I had tubes put in my ears, tonsils out,they kept you in the hospital for these surgeries, so I spent alot of time catching up the school work I missed. In sixth grade I became a victim of sexual abuse by a neighbor, I became withdrawn and sometimes a class clown which is the time I started getting sent to the principal office. I never spoke to anyone about what was going on. Even through all this my grades were high.
