“In a school of less than one hundred people, one might think it is a pretty easy task to make friends. Unfortunately for me, the kids have known each other for so long that I had a hard time fitting in with this closed set of people.”
So begins Ita’s tale in this video of how she isolated herself at a small school. She finally connected with the dean of students, who knew from the minute she met Ita that she was a special person, but also sensed her loneliness. After some time of encouraging Ita to come talk to her, the dean helped Ita to learn ways to find her place in this close-knit community.
“And now, I have friends in America!”
