School surprises bus driver with new car and raise

You can see why someone might hate being a school bus driver: the early hours when the weather sours and the abundance of responsibility combined with the absence of eyes in the back of your head. Nevertheless, as we first reported last May, Curtis Jenkins loves delivering these little ones to Lake Highlands elementary in Dallas, Texas. This holiday season, the school thanked him back. Steve Hartman reports.

”He is the dad I never had ” Placed tears inside of my eyes.

"He's the father that I've always wanted." It brought tears to my eyes to hear the little guy speak his truth, because I also grew up without a father. Hopefully, he will grow up to be a good dad. Mothers should not have to raise their children alone, and most importantly, the kids deserve to have their fathers.
