A School Bus Driver's Memoir

We, school bus drivers, are a twenty-five-minute parents and a short trip teacher in our profession of driving school buses. Our responsibilities go beyond any training or preparation that we might have along the way, coping with difficult students and rewarding act of kindness from unexpected parents or students. Timing and safety are well seen by parents and teachers as good token for being always on time. However, school bus driver faces many scenarios which could test his/her patience and goodwill and put his/her job in jeopardy at any given time. In A School Bus Driver's Memoirs, I described several scenarios--some funny, others were exciting and traumatic, but most of them were rewarding and happiness as part of the daily life of a school bus driver.
