I remember the year 1945 like it was yesterday.

Once you hit 5th grade, that's when you officially learn what your elemental bending ability is. The teacher is finally able to show you the the tactic that's needed. Everyone finds out at the same time on the same day. We all gather in the gymnasium and show off our skill, and that's when we learn what our ability is.

I remember our fifth grade teacher Mrs. Williams going to each student, showing them how to awaken their power, and all of the kids either bending helium or hydrogen. There were a couple of others, most notably oxygen bending and neon bending, but when Mrs. Williams looked at me, and showed me what to do, I conjured out of midair something that no other student had done.
