Six-year-old Calvin used to run to the bus every morning, full of joy. But that faded—he stopped smiling, drawing, and began dreading school.
One day, I walked him to the bus and saw the whispers and tears. The driver, Miss Carmen, quietly reached her hand back, and Calvin held on.
That afternoon, she told the parents: “Some of your kids are being cruel. I’ve seen enough.” Calvin had been bullied for weeks.
After that, the school stepped in. Miss Carmen gave him the “VIP” seat up front.
Soon, he was smiling and drawing again. One day, he invited a nervous new kid to sit with him: “It’s the best seat.”
I later thanked Miss Carmen. She wrote back, “Sometimes backpacks carry more than books.”
A small act of kindness made all the difference.
