My name is Mrs. Donna and I have been driving Bus 180 for the last 13 years now. It began as a part time job that gave
us more cash and allowed me to still be a full time mother and teacher to our three homeschooled children. Now it is
a second job and just part of my life and my grandkids love riding the bus too. I guess best of all is that although I am
glad that I only had three children of my own. I have never been able to get enough of them. No matter where I go these
days I see some of MY BUS kids and they come and see me at my other job in fact I work with some of them as well
and I never pass one on the route that they don't wave me down and say Hi. Everyone of them will tell you the same two things
when asked about me...She really loves us, but man she can be tough when she has too.
I decided to start this site for a couple of reasons. First as a way to keep in touch with my bus young'uns as they move
on in life, and secondly to try to open a few other eyes as well. Such as Parents, Do you know who is driving
your children around in traffic?
Do you have any idea what your children act like and do on these vehicles? Have
you ever taken a trip with two or three kids in the backseat? Try to imagine for a moment 40 to 60 at once and most of them
aren't even related and some of them just don't even like each other and I am not the parent, either I am just
the bus driver.
So the next time your child comes home whining that someone sat in
their seat today and the driver didn't do anything about it, you just might have a different view if you picture yourself
for a moment in that driver's seat. LOL. If I only had a penny for everytime I hear "Oh No way I could drive a
School bus." I wouldn't be driving one either because I would be on my yacht in the Bahamas LOL. Many parents
have forgotten how important a bus ride everyday can be to a child as well. Someone has to do it and it brings me great comfort
to know that the people who drive your children to and from that all important education everyday do it for the same reasons. LOVE
OF KIDS AND A REAL BELIEF IN EDUCATING THEM.
