I inherited DRIVE from my parents. I have learned laughing out loud, loving completely and appreciating a motorcycle ride. From my family I learn unconditional love. Now I learn to carry on. Of little sleep, I feel the need to fill each day with accomplishment. I have a zest for life and a curiosity to know about anything and everything!

My New YOB
I get to drive any of these buses, depending. I don't have enough experience to say which I like better. Short buses are special..they go up and down driveways and can be in tight spots and have but a few students on them at a time. Big buses give me a feeling of empowerment but there may be 70 kids on a bus! I haven't tried the TWEENERS yet. This week I drove 3 different buses..some punch it up Newberry, others rattle like everything is gonna fall off! The thing is, I recognize KIDS..some look just like their parents and when I ask their names, I am correct in my assumption. It's amazing! Some of the little ones I taught music to in church just beam from ear to ear when they board the bus. I am learning to be proficient in all that's needed; it is an awesome responsibility. This week a bus driver hit a deer that jumped in front of the bus; a naked man in a car flashed some kids on a military base and near a junior high some creepy guy was flipping bus drivers off and yelling at kids. Why don't they keep their madness to themselves?
