AN ACT OF KINDNESS
DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN A BIG
INVESTMENT.
A SIMPLE GESTURE CAN HAVE A HUGE
IMPACT.
SMILE.
WAVE, HONK OF A HONOR, BROUGHT
SO MUCH JOY TO A LITTLE BOY IN
CHESTERFIELD.
HIS FAMILY IS PAYING IT FORWARD
TO THE BUS DRIVER THAT THEY SAY
IS LIKE A ROCK STAR TO THEIR
YOUNG SON.
>> IT HAS BECOME A FAMILY
RITUAL.
PERFECTLY TIMED AFTERNOON
OUTING.
>> EVERY MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
WE WAIT FOR THE BUS.
>> HARD FOR 17 MONTH OLD JOSEPH
TO WAIT IN PLACE.
ANTICIPATING EVERY SIGHT AND
SOUND.
>> SHE HONKS, I MEAN, THEY ARE
IN TO EACH OTHER.
I MEAN, THEY ARE WAVING LIKE
LONG LOST THE TWO OF THEM.
>> EVERY ARRIVAL MAGICAL.
>> SHE GOES DOWN, DROPS OFF A
COUPLE OF KIDS, COMES BACK
AROUND.
AND HERE SHE COMES AGAIN.
DO IT TWICE.
>> THEY HAVE A THING FOR EACH
OTHER.
>> EVERY PASS THROUGH SCORES BIG
WITH LITTLE JOSEPH.
HIS PARENTS SAY THAT THEIR FIRST
BORN HAS ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED
BY SCHOOL BUSES.
JUST THE MENTION GETS HIM
EXCITED.
>> IF WE ARE IN THE CAR DRIVING,
I WILL SAY SCHOOL BUS.
HE STOPS AND LOOKS.
HE IS READY.
>> READY TO GREET EVERY DRIVER
WITH HIS SIGNATURE TINY HAND
WAVE.
THEY ARE ALTHOUGH HAPPY TO
RETURN THE GESTURE.
BUT THE FAMILY WAS STUNNED THE
DAY BUS 103 STOPPED TO MAKE A
DELIVERY.
>> I WAS REALLY SURPRISED.
WE WERE SITTING ON THE GROUND
THERE.
SHE STOPS AND WAVES ME ON.
AND HANGS A BAG OUT THE WINDOW
AND SAID IT WAS FOR US.
>> IN THE BAG, A BRIGHT YELLOW
SCHOOL BUS FOR JOSEPH AND A NOTE
FROM HIS FAVORITE DRIVER.
>> I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKE MY BUS,
I WILL WAIT FOR YOU TO RIDE MY
BUS IN FOUR YEARS.
LOVE MRS. FROST.
>> SHE POSTED IF ON FACEBOOK.
I SEE SAW IT.
I ACTUALLY HAD TEARS IN MY EYES
WHEN I READ IT.
I TOLD KERRY, SHE DESERVES AN
AWARD FOR THIS.
>> WE THOUGHT SO TOO.
>> YOU WILL PASS ON.
100, 200, $300.
FOR YOUR FAVORITE SCHOOL BUS
DRIVER.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> AT THE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
CENTER, WE STOPPED THE DRIVER IN
HER TRACKS.
>> I SAW YOU COMING.
HELLO BABY.
>> MY FRIEND KIM CALLED CHANNEL
12 AND NOMINATED YOU FOR RANDOM
ACTS OF KINDNESS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I LOVE KIDS.
>> I KNOW.
I KNOW YOU DO.
ALSO, WITH IT COMES $300.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHO CANNOT USE
THAT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR JOB?
>> I DO.
AND THIS IS 20 YEARS FOR ME.
AND IN AUGUST WILL BE 20 YEARS.
I HOPE IT IS 20 MORE.
>> I KNOW SHE CEASE A MILLION
KIDS A DAY.
BUT THE FACT THAT SHE TOOK THE
TIME TO DO THAT FOR HIM MEANT
THE WORLD FOR ME.
>> YOU ARE IN THE BIG BUS.
>> I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO A
COUPLE OF YEARS OF HAVING HIM ON
MY BUS.
>> I KNOW.
>> HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
