my brother's middle daughter,  birth name Chyna Aurie Matisse,   is a school bus driver in rural Minnesota.   Ms. Matie.  She loves her work,  it's really her mission,   she LOVES it,  for some years now.  i have never known anyone who loved their work more than Matie.     on the way to Alyssia's there is a second hand store and i saw this.   If there was anything at all i could do in this moment it would be to find a way to send her this….She would be so so beyond joyfull,  so crazy happy

    Perfectly fun! What a great idea! Napping, reading to kids, self. Teaching others how important it is to get to school. I’m a little afraid that the children may jump in the back, and get in trouble. My hope is that the children jump and jump all the way to the best school ever. And bring home library books to read to their families! And, if they start reading out loud, the bus will lift into the story world . I will never forget out biweekly bookmobile that stopped at out house corner.

    The trust is staggering. There are big signs here offering 18$ an hour for school bus drivers. I look at the signs, then look away quckly. I don’t have the metal or mettle for more than one little devil at a time anymore. Amazed and grateful for those who do.
