Driver's Ed [Thursday, Week 1, Period 5]
As the students trickled into the Danger Shop, they would find Ziva standing and waiting for them at the front of the room, cradling a cup of coffee in her hands. Sure, it was late in the day, but caffeine addiction ran deep.
"Good afternoon," she said. "My name is Ziva David, and for the next few weeks, I will be instructing you in driver education. I have been told that it is customary to tell you a little about myself, although I was not advised as to what you might be interested in hearing. I will tell you that Israel is my home, but for the last few years, I have been living in the United States while working for NCIS. Those of you who are or have been enrolled in Criminal Justice have met my previous boss, Special Agent Gibbs." She still hadn't quite gotten over that. "If you have not, all you need to know is that if you decide to pass notes while you should be paying attention, I will catch you."
"I do not intend for us to spend our time here memorizing traffic laws or reading from books," she continued. "I am a firm believer that the best way to learn how to drive is to actually do it, and that it is more important to know how to handle your vehicle in any given situation than it is to know all of the different rules of the road. We will be meeting here each week for your lessons, as I have been told that this is the place for safe simulations. This week, before we do anything else, I need to know where you are all starting from." Plus, she still needed to work out the finer details of Danger Shop programming. "I would like to go around and learn everyone's name, year of school, and how much experience you have behind the wheel. Oh, and if you have a dream car? Tell me about it."
