User Comment:
After searching Zaif in the database, I found that a lot of the names were returned as Zajf. from there I searched Ruta as the first Name, but the results were to broad. so I figured I would have Zajf as the last name and change the first name, as many students have nicknames. from there I searched Zajf as the exact last name and had a return of many. of the returned results, the only 4 letter name that sounded closest to Ruta was Laja. Fron her information I obtained her birth year, which fit between the year-range given for the School she went to.
