From the transcript
She's new to TCLL this year and we've spent a whole year trying to get to know each other. On the 8th grade trip, I realized that we can bond through sarcasm and jokes. It was a lot of fun to ride the gondola up with her and get to know her a little bit more than I'd been able to in the classroom. But when Ziana came to TCLL, she knew exactly who she was, and she told me, and that was amazing. Sometimes when we have new friends come to TCLL, we have to do a lot of research about who they are, but she knew exactly who she was.
