One by one, all the students climbed off the bus and arrived safely at their homes. Suddenly, I realized it was just the bus driver and me, a scared little six year old girl. The children were all gone. I thought the bus driver was headed home and had forgotten about me. Then, I saw a high bridge over some railroad tracks and decided I must be near home. I asked to get off. I just wanted to find my house and family after my first day at the new school. As the bus drove away, I realized I was all alone and terrified. I tried not to cry, as a voice in the back of my immature mind whispered for me to be brave. I thought if only I could hold out to walk far enough I would reach home. So, I continued on my journey in search of home and family. Jeanette, a wife, mother, and grandmother, is also the author of Pig Trails & Open Roads.
