En un racó tranquil de la Catalunya rural, hi havia un internat extraordinari.

In a quiet corner of rural Catalunya, there was an extraordinary boarding school.

Era primavera tardana.

It was late spring.

Els arbres estaven en plena floració.

The trees were in full bloom.

Els ocells cantaven i una lleugera brisa endolcia l'aire de la muntanya.

The birds were singing, and a light breeze sweetened the mountain air.

Les aules d'aquest internat estaven plenes de vida i d'aprenentatge.

The classrooms of this boarding school were full of life and learning.

La Laia era una de les alumnes més brillants de l'escola.

Laia was one of the brightest students in the school.

Tenia una reputació impecable.

She had an impeccable reputation.

Era diligent i sempre buscava la perfecció.

She was diligent and always strived for perfection.

Però feia temps que una cosa la preocupava: patia marejos inexplicables.

But for some time now, something had been bothering her: she was experiencing inexplicable dizziness.

Al principi, els ignorava. Pensava que passarien.

At first, she ignored it, thinking it would pass.

Marc, el seu amic inseparable, notava que alguna cosa no anava bé.

Marc, her inseparable friend, noticed that something was not right.

Tot i així, la Laia es resistia a dir-li la veritat.

Even so, Laia resisted telling him the truth.

Tenia por que els altres notessin la seva debilitat.

She was afraid that others would notice her weakness.

Volia mantenir la seva posició acadèmica destacada.

She wanted to maintain her outstanding academic position.

Un matí, mentre caminaven pel jardí de l'escola, Marc va veure que la Laia es quedava enrere.

One morning, while they were walking through the school garden, Marc saw that Laia was lagging behind.

"Laia, estàs bé?", li va preguntar amb preocupació.

"Laia, are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Ella només va somriure, negant-ho amb el cap.

She only smiled, shaking her head.

Sabia que havia d'evitar semblar vulnerable.

She knew she had to avoid appearing vulnerable.

Els marejos es van fer més freqüents.

The dizziness became more frequent.

A la classe, li costava concentrar-se.

In class, she found it hard to concentrate.

Durant les activitats, se sentia cansada i feble.

During activities, she felt tired and weak.

Però mai no deia res, pensant que resoldre els seus problemes sola era la millor opció.

But she never said anything, thinking that solving her problems on her own was the best option.

El dia de l'examen final era radiant.

The day of the final exam was radiant.

Les persianes eren mig baixades per evitar el sol intens.

The blinds were half-lowered to avoid the intense sun.

Els alumnes estaven concentrats, i el silenci només s'interrompia pel llapis que fregava el paper.

The students were focused, and the silence was only interrupted by the pencil scratching the paper.

La Laia va sentir un tornado dins el seu cap.

Laia felt like a tornado inside her head.

Tot es tornava borrós.

Everything became blurry.

El seu cor es va accelerar i va haver d'aturar-se.

Her heart raced, and she had to stop.

Va saber que no podia continuar així.

She knew she couldn't go on like that.

Després de l'examen, Marc es va acostar a ella.

After the exam, Marc approached her.

Aquesta vegada, la Laia va decidir explicar-li tot.

This time, Laia decided to tell him everything.

Amb els ulls plens de llàgrimes, li va confessar la seva por de no ser perfecta.

With tears in her eyes, she confessed her fear of not being perfect.

Marc li va posar la mà a l'espatlla i la va animar a veure la infermera de l’escola.

Marc put his hand on her shoulder and encouraged her to see the school nurse.

Amb el suport d'en Marc, la Laia va visitar la infermera.

With Marc's support, Laia visited the nurse.

Va ser diagnosticada i va començar un tractament.

She was diagnosed and started a treatment.

A mesura que passaven els dies, la seva salut va començar a millorar.

As the days passed, her health began to improve.

Els marejos van disminuir, i la Laia va poder tornar a concentrar-se en els seus estudis.

The dizziness decreased, and Laia was able to focus on her studies again.

Va aprendre una lliçó important: demanar ajuda no era un signe de feblesa, sinó de força.

She learned an important lesson: asking for help was not a sign of weakness but of strength.

Entendria que la seva salut valia més que qualsevol excel·lència acadèmica.

She understood that her health was worth more than any academic excellence.

La primavera va donar pas a l'estiu i, amb ell, la Laia va sentir la lleugeresa d'una nova etapa.

Spring gave way to summer, and with it, Laia felt the lightness of a new stage.

En Marc somreia; sabia que el seu suport havia estat clau, però també que la Laia era més forta del que havia cregut.

Marc smiled; he knew his support had been key, but also that Laia was stronger than she had believed.

Amb el paisatge verd al seu voltant, la Laia i en Marc van caminar junts pel camí dels tarongers, sabent que, junts, podien enfrontar qualsevol repte.

With the green landscape around them, Laia and Marc walked together along the path of the orange trees, knowing that together, they could face any challenge.
