When a school bus driver witnessed how different two of the children riding the bus treated a fellow child, she felt the need to commend their parents for raising such wonderful kids.
Being a school bus driver, Cindy Clausen had a fair experience of witnessing how ruthless children be, even if they do not mean to, to people who are different from them.
Thus, when two children named Annaliese and Jorge who are siblings showed genuine kindness to Jackson, a fellow kid who has a disability.
Rather than following the examples of the other children, the sister and brother in tandem chose to stand up for Jackson.
They approached him, sat with him, and befriended him to make him feel that he is not different from the other kids his age. Not only that, the two siblings also offered to assist Jackson all throughout their way home.
Taken a back by the kind heart and compassion these two kids showed towards Jackson, Cindy Clausen wrote a letter to Annaliese and Jorge’s parents to let them know that they have raised their kids well.
“Dear Jorge and Leonor,
I am compelled to write to tell you how beautiful your children are, inside and out! This can only come from the home, your patience and guidance, the examples that you set and teach.
I have a child on my bus named Jackson. Both of your children have shown him so much compassion and support. Every day your children ask if they can sit with Jackson.
Some days Jackson is a little sad getting on the bus but as soon as he sees Annaliese and Jorge he smiles. Jackson has difficulties walking and it takes a bit for him to get to his seat.
Today Annaliese looked out from around her seat and said, ‘come on Jackson, you can do it” and when we arrived at school, Jackson took it upon himself to carry out his backpack!
I know you know how wonderful your children are, but I wanted you to know that it shows!”
