Tallinna Lennujaamas oli rahvarohke.

Tallinna Lennujaamas was crowded.

Jõulud olid käes ja kõikjal oli tunda pidulikku meeleolu.

Christmas was here, and everywhere a festive atmosphere could be felt.

Suured aknad olid kaetud kerge pakasega, väljaspool lendas pehme lumi.

The large windows were covered with a light frost, and soft snow was falling outside.

Toas käis rahvas ringi, silmad lennutablool kinni, mis vilgutas pidevalt uusi lennuaegu.

Inside, people moved around, eyes fixed on the flight board, which constantly flashed new flight times.

Maari, kes oli vaikne ja introspektiivne gümnaasiumiõpilane, istus ühel istmel terminali nurgas.

Maari, who was a quiet and introspective high school student, sat on a seat in the corner of the terminal.

Tema süda peksles.

Her heart was pounding.

Ta ootas oma eksamitulemusi, mis pidid otsustama tema tuleviku.

She was waiting for her exam results, which were to determine her future.

Maari unistas õppimisest rahvusvaheliste suhete alal välismaal, kuid tema pere kahtles tema võimetes.

Maari dreamed of studying international relations abroad, but her family doubted her abilities.

Neil oli alati midagi öelda, kuid seekord tahtis Maari neile näidata, milleks ta tegelikult võimeline on.

They always had something to say, but this time Maari wanted to show them what she was truly capable of.

Lennujaamas oodates oli Maaril palju aega mõelda.

While waiting at the airport, Maari had plenty of time to think.

Lennud hilinesid järjest, ja Maari hakkas muretsema.

The flights were continuously delayed, and Maari started to worry.

Mis siis, kui ta ei saa oma eksamitulemusi õigeaegselt?

What if she couldn't get her exam results on time?

Stipendiumita oli unistus käega katsutav.

Without a scholarship, the dream seemed out of reach.

Maari pöördus rahvarohkest piirkonnast eemale ja leidis vaiksema koha akna all.

Maari turned away from the crowded area and found a quieter spot by the window.

Seal, väikese kohviku kõrval, üritas ta leida Wi-Fi leviala.

There, next to a small café, she tried to find a Wi-Fi connection.

See oli tervitatud väike ime, kui ta sai ühenduse.

It was a welcomed small miracle when she got connected.

Ta hakkas kohe oma kooliga ühendust võtma.

She immediately started to contact her school.

Aga ühendus vilkles ja lülitus välja.

But the connection flickered and went out.

Sekundi murdosa jooksul kõhkles Maari, kas helistada koju, kuid mure eemalepeletamise ees pidurdas teda.

For a split second, Maari hesitated about calling home, but the fear of discouragement held her back.

Ta pidas hinge kinni ja üritas uuesti internetti pääseda.

She held her breath and tried to access the internet again.

Just siis, kui ühendus paistis liiga nõrk, saatis tema telefon sõnumeid allalaadides.

Just when the connection seemed too weak, her phone started downloading messages.

Tema süda peatus ja samal ajal kiirustas.

Her heart stopped and sped up at the same time.

Viimaks õnnestus Maaril vajalik e-kiri avada.

Finally, Maari managed to open the necessary email.

Tulemused!

The results!

Põnevusega pukituna vaatas ta oma hindeid.

Filled with excitement, she looked at her grades.

Kõik oli hästi!

Everything was great!

Ta oli läbinud kõrgete tulemustega ja kvalifitseerus stipendiumi jaoks.

She had passed with high marks and qualified for the scholarship.

Liigne rõõm täitis Maari.

Maari was overwhelmed with joy.

Kõik tema kahtlused ja hirmud justkui kadusid järsku.

All her doubts and fears seemed to suddenly disappear.

Ta tundis end tugevana, valmis silmitsi seisma pere negatiivsusega.

She felt strong, ready to face her family's negativity.

Ta teadis nüüd, et suudab ületada kõiki takistusi, mis teda ees ootamas olid, sest tema pealehakkamine oli tõepoolest imetegija.

She now knew she could overcome any obstacles ahead of her because her determination was truly a miracle worker.

Õhus oli tunda uue kindluse tunnet ning jagatud naeratustega inimestele möödudes teadis Maari, et on teel uude ja põnevasse tulevikku.

There was a sense of newfound confidence in the air, and with smiles shared with the people she passed, Maari knew she was on her way to a new and exciting future.
