Today, I read a profile about Lupita Perez. She is a bus driver, but this job was not her first full-time job. When she was in an elementary school as a teacher’s assistant, her neighbor gave her a suggestion the Transits Authority is hiring a part- time, and then she got this job and turned out to be a career. She likes this job because the benefits are good for her and her family. However, when she drives go to south central the people who lived there are treating her like garbage. Lupita has to learn how to deal with different people, and some part of town treat her good. In addition, bus driver is kind of dangerous job she thinks because she had an experience about that. A guy got on her bus, and just started going off and off and off. She called police, and police found machete in his pocket. If Lupita had not called police, nobody knows what would have happened on next few minutes. This is also surprised me. Even though this job is difficult, she likes it. In the end she wants people to understand bus drivers are human, and they also have bad day or not feeling well, and there are so many accident on the road, so please do not blame them, and be nice to them.
I have strong feeling about Lupita because my older sister is a bus driver, too. Sometimes I went with my sister when she was working. First, I saw many people who did not make a line and got on the bus. They just mess up when they saw bus was coming. My sister had to very careful to driver because she did not want to hurt anyone near the road, especially when people push each other at the bus station. Second, one day I went with my sister on her bus, and one guy came in who did not want to pay. My sister said “if you do not want to pay, you have to get off my bus!” I smelled very strong alcohol, and I knew this guy was drunk. You could not talk with person who was already drunk, so I told my sister he was drunk. This guy did not get off the bus, and he molested a girl who sat in front. My sister called police. I did not understand why the men who sat on the bus, and saw that did not move or give help. My sister took a stick and wanted to protect this girl until the police came. I was only fourteen years old, and I think I will remember this thing forever. My sister works seven hours a day, and only can get twenty minutes to break. When she gets off duty, she looks so tried. Personally I would not like this job. I cannot focus that long time, and only break for twenty minutes. This job requires responsibility for customers who are get on your bus. To be honest, I probably cannot promise that. At the same time, this job is so boring to me. I like the job to have many challenges, like police officer or work for myself, such as open a small business. Because I like freedom, I do not want to sit in a chair for seven hours.
