New Beginnings at Island Boarding School: Lessons from Luka & Ivana
Nad morem plavo, na otoku okruženom maslinicima i vinogradima, stoji staro školsko zdanje.
Over the blue sea, on an island surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, stands an old school building.
To je prestižni internat, daleko od kopna, na mirnom otoku.
It is a prestigious boarding school, far from the mainland, on a peaceful island.
Ljeto je u punom jeku.
Summer is in full swing.
Zvuk valova udara o kamenite obale, stvarajući spokojni prizor.
The sound of waves crashing against the rocky shores creates a serene scene.
Luka je mladi nastavnik povijesti.
Luka is a young history teacher.
Ovo je njegova prva godina u školi.
This is his first year at the school.
Daleko je od doma i želi dokazati sebe.
He is far from home and wants to prove himself.
Ivana, s druge strane, već godinama predaje jezične umjetnosti.
Ivana, on the other hand, has been teaching language arts for years.
Ona je domaća, odrasla je na otoku.
She is a local and grew up on the island.
Nedavno se razišla s voljenim, i srce joj je slomljeno.
She recently separated from her beloved, and her heart is broken.
Luka često osjeti težinu odgovornosti.
Luka often feels the weight of responsibility.
Učenici ga ne shvaćaju ozbiljno, a kolege ga gledaju sumnjičavo.
The students do not take him seriously, and his colleagues look at him with suspicion.
Ivana, zaokupljena vlastitim emocijama, nije mu ponudila pomoć.
Ivana, preoccupied with her own emotions, has not offered him any help.
No, Luka je odlučan.
But Luka is determined.
Želi zadobiti poštovanje.
He wants to earn respect.
Zato smišlja specijalnu lekciju za blagdan Velike Gospe.
So, he plans a special lesson for the Feast of the Assumption.
“Moji učenici neće zaboraviti ovaj dan,” kaže Luka.
"My students will not forget this day," Luka says.
Došao je dan lekcije.
The day of the lesson arrived.
Učenici su u učionici, ali sve izmiče kontroli.
The students are in the classroom, but everything is slipping out of control.
Djeca ne slušaju; pričaju između sebe.
The children are not listening; they are talking among themselves.
Luka pokušava održati red, no bez uspjeha.
Luka tries to maintain order but without success.
Ivana sve to gleda.
Ivana watches it all.
Na licu joj se vidi unutarnja borba.
Her face shows an inner struggle.
Konačno ustaje, a Luka joj mahnito daje znak da prilazi.
Finally, she stands up, and Luka frantically signals her to come over.
“Ivano, možeš li pomoći?” upita Luka.
"Ivana, can you help?" Luka asks.
Ivana duboko udahne, smješkajući se lagano.
Ivana takes a deep breath, smiling slightly.
“Naravno, Luka.”
"Of course, Luka."
S njezinom pomoći, lekcija počinje imati smisla.
With her help, the lesson starts to make sense.
Ivana prepričava priče iz svog djetinjstva, povezujući ih s Marijinim uznesenjem.
Ivana tells stories from her childhood, connecting them with the Assumption of Mary.
Djeca slušaju sa zanimanjem, oči im svijetle od uzbuđenja.
The children listen with interest, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
Luka dopunjava Ivanu povijesnim činjenicama.
Luka complements Ivana with historical facts.
Na kraju lekcije, učenici plješću.
At the end of the lesson, the students applaud.
Luka osjeća olakšanje i ponos.
Luka feels relief and pride.
Kolege mu prilaze s osmjesima.
His colleagues come up to him with smiles.
“Kolega Luka, odlična ideja s lekcijom,” govori jedan nastavnik.
"Colleague Luka, excellent idea with the lesson," one teacher says.
Ivana osjeti olakšanje.
Ivana feels relieved.
Pomogla je, i osjeća se bolje.
She helped, and she feels better.
Više nije nošena tugom.
She is no longer carried away by sadness.
Pronašla je novi smisao u radu, a Luka je stekao povjerenje.
She has found new meaning in her work, and Luka has gained trust.
Valovi i dalje udaraju o kamenje.
The waves continue to crash against the rocks.
More je mirno.
The sea is calm.
Luka i Ivana gledaju u daljinu, osjeća se zajedništvo.
Luka and Ivana look into the distance, a sense of togetherness in the air.
Njihova nova poglavlja počinju, baš kao što je sunce počelo obasjavati njihovu školu na otoku.
Their new chapters are beginning, just as the sun begins to shine on their school on the island.
Kraj.
The End.
