First Day Of School
PixabayThe first day of school is when a lot of dramas happen. It’s full of excitement and anxiety at the same time.
Making A Memory
PixabayAmy Johnson decided to take pictures of her son’s first day of riding a school bus.
Mixed Emotions
PixabayAxel was perfectly fine at first, Amy said. He only started to get anxious when he saw the approaching school bus that was about to take him to school – away from his mom.
Convincing Him

Keeping Him Company

A New-Found Friend

More Than A Driver
PixabayMany people have been touched by Isabel’s excellence in her job. She doesn’t only play a part as a person who fetches students, but she also makes sure that they are having a great day.
Going Above And Beyond
