Summary
I have been driving a school bus for Hamilton County Schools for a total of 9 years. I truly love what I did. But my life changed August 29,2022. I blacked out while driving my bus for an unknown reason. So do to that I have decided to stop driving a bus. The thought of hurting one of my bus babies was very overwhelming. So after almost a decade of only being around children and driving a bus it is time for a little change.
