Sometimes, the kids in Stephanie Williams’s kindergarten(幼儿园) class need a little motivation. While some students want gifts, all Kameron wanted was to be the first one on the bus. That way, he’d be able to spend a little time with his good friend, school bus driver Charles Frierson. Just being the first one on the bus and talking to Mr. Charles does not seem like a lot, but to him it’s the world.

At the beginning of the school year, Kameron was having some difficulties in class. His behavior (行为) got him sent to the teachers’ office almost every day. However, getting to hang out with Mr. Charles turned out to be a strong motivator (动力) for Kameron to follow directions.

In the few minutes they shared together each afternoon, Charles would talk with Kameron, encourage him, and make him happy. They talked about any problems Kameron was having in school. The bus driver even cheered him on at his weekend baseball games.

Stephanie saw a huge change in Kameron’s attitude once the boy started talking to Mr. Charles every day. So did Kameron’s mom. In fact, she was so thankful for what the driver did.
