From Mail Carrier to Beloved Bus Driver: Arizona Mom's Inspiring Journey

Jackeline Ezrre, a 30-year-old Arizona mom, started as a substitute school bus driver with no prior experience. She responded to a 'We're Hiring' sign at her daughter's school after facing multiple job rejections. Today, she's beloved by students who greet her with smiles and stories, calling her 'the best' bus driver.

Ezrre's journey began when she left her career as a mail carrier to take up this new role. She recalls her first days as daunting, but she soon found her stride. Now, two years in, she confidently manages routes and hundreds of students. She takes pride in her work, ensuring her bus is clean and every student feels safe.

She has formed deep bonds with students. She remembers a six-month assignment where she grew close to the children. When the route ended, she cried, missing the daily interactions. Ezrre believes the school bus driver job is undervalued by society despite its importance and responsibility. She advises potential school bus drivers, 'You're not just a bus driver. You're the first hello and last goodbye for kids every day.'
