When I went to school, there wasn’t air conditioning on the school buses.
- You put up with the heat, knowing the ride would be short.
Twenty years later, I was driving a school bus. It was the only job I could get that would coincide with my children’s schedule. You could never know how surprised I was when I gained a bus that had air conditioning. I didn’t know they had air conditioning on school buses. Even on the hottest of mornings, I was comfortable. I even purchased popsicles for my students. It was great to eat a popsicle plus not have it melt before you had it finished. With the air conditioning, the teenagers plus I were comfortable. My teenagers didn’t want to get off the bus plus go into our home. The people I was with and I didn’t have central air conditioning in our home. All all of us had were a couple window A/C units, however they weren’t in the home offices. I was soon to find out why I gained a bus with air conditioning. The A/C wasn’t on every bus, however there were more than two that were blessed. When I was asked to take a trip to NYC, I was thrilled. I could take my women with me plus I thought it would be fun since they paid us. I even got a spending allowance for our supper plus supper. Without the air conditioning, there is no way all of us could have made the trip. Even with it, a sixteen hour trip was long plus tiring. I found the A/C was to keep the teenagers from protesting plus me from falling asleep.
