Despite the challenge that the house was designed for individuals shorter than 160 cm, the 90-year-old owner, being of modest height, found the outcome perfect for himself. The unique hobbit house has become a popular attraction, drawing visitors from various nations who occasionally even stay in this one-of-a-kind home.

The house features a door reminiscent of the hobbit house in the movie, constructed from stone and wood. Every aspect of the interior, including the toilet, is meticulously designed to match the style portrayed in the film. A cozy open fireplace provides warmth throughout the entire house, adding to both the elegance and comfort that visitors admire.

The owner, living in his dream hobbit house, claims that the experience brings him happiness and a fantastic sense of fulfillment. He serves as an inspiration, demonstrating that anyone can achieve their goals if they possess true determination. In the end, the man finds contentment in his fairytale-like hobbit home, having successfully realized his dream in his twilight years.

That is all.

What do I mean when I say safely? Let me explain. Safely means I pre-trip my bus daily to ensure it is running properly and that it hasn’t been tampered with. Safely means my eyes are constantly scanning all 7 mirrors, blind spots, and the road in front of me.

I’m NOT a babysitter.

I’m NOT a mediator.

I’m a BUS DRIVER.

I would absolutely love to be able to watch and hear each and every little thing that goes on in the 40 feet of the school bus behind me, but while I’m watching Johnny jump across the seat, I just missed a car pull out in front of me. And oops, while I’m yelling at Susie to keep her hands to herself, the light changed and now I’m slamming the brakes to stop in time at the intersection. And what’s that? Now Joey has a nosebleed? And now someone dumped all of Katie’s stuff out of her bookbag, and “bus driver, Bobby is flicking me”, and “bus driver, Lily said she doesn’t like me anymore”, and what’s that? While I’m looking in the mirror behind me reprimanding your perfect children, a car just ran my reds, and Sally almost got run over!

It’s Never Ending to us…

And that doesn’t even include the way the children speak to us. I’m pretty certain they don’t speak to other school faculty like that. And certainly don’t speak to their parents the way they speak to us.

So please, parents, tell me … where do you want me to look? Behind me? In front of me?

Would you prefer I pull over each and every time someone yells “bus driver”? Because then YOU will complain that the bus is never on time, and trust me if I did pull over every time, we wouldn’t even make it out of the school parking lot before I’d have to stop. In case you didn’t know, your children are not perfect…no one is.

Would you rather I continue down the road watching what’s going on BEHIND me more than what’s going on with other vehicles on the road around me? Because I can assure you, if I’m not scanning every angle around the bus, there WILL be an accident, and then I will again be to blame, because I should’ve been paying attention to the road.

Now, on top of that, we see your children for less than 30 minutes a day, in most cases. Please teach your child to respect the bus driver, and to behave themselves when riding the bus…because we want to return them to you, SAFELY.

In his senior year of high school, 19-year-old Corey, along with his family, relocated to the West End neighborhood, approximately 10 miles away. Faced with the prospect of leaving his cherished friends and teachers, Corey summoned all his strength to complete high school alongside them. Due to the absence of a family car, Corey relied on a public bus, catching it every morning at 5:51.

On the day of his graduation, Corey adhered to his usual routine, but this time, he was adorned in his cap and gown. It was during this commute that bus driver DeJuanna Beasley noticed Corey walking alone and captured a photo that rapidly went viral. Beasley, moved by Corey’s solitary determination, shared the image on Facebook, praising his commitment to attending graduation despite being unaccompanied.

Beasley clarified that she took the photo not because she knew Corey, but because she was inspired by his resolute journey, navigating it alone without any support. Corey’s mother, Felicia White, confirmed that the family successfully reached Corey’s graduation in time.

Following the identification of Corey as the student in the viral photo, numerous people offered their support. The most significant surprise came from comedian Rickey Smiley, impressed by Corey’s perseverance. Smiley brought Corey onto his radio show, where it was announced that they would be gifting him a car with the assistance of fellow radio hosts from 95.7 Jamz.

While Corey is actively working towards obtaining his driver’s license, the radio crew pledged to assist him further. Corey also revealed on the show that he has received a full scholarship to Jacksonville University and plans to pursue a degree in computer science.
