L’aire fred del matí travessava les finestres antigues del col·legi internat, situat en un racó pintoresc dels Pirineus.

The cold morning air passed through the old windows of the boarding school, situated in a picturesque corner of the Pirineus.

Clara, una jove de catorze anys, observava el paisatge cobert de neu des de la seva classe.

Clara, a fourteen-year-old girl, observed the snow-covered landscape from her classroom.

Les muntanyes reflectien la llum del sol amb una bellesa que provocava un somriure tímid a la seva cara.

The mountains reflected the sunlight with a beauty that brought a timid smile to her face.

Clara era una noia reservada, però amb una determinació oculta que només els que l’observaven de prop podien intuir.

Clara was a reserved girl, but with a hidden determination that only those who observed her closely could sense.

El seu majúscul repte era la seva asma, un company constant que sovint la feia sentir sola i vulnerable.

Her biggest challenge was her asthma, a constant companion that often made her feel lonely and vulnerable.

Aquest hivern, però, tenia una meta clara: participar en la caminada organitzada pel col·legi per final de trimestre.

This winter, however, she had a clear goal: to participate in the hike organized by the school at the end of the term.

Voldria demostrar a si mateixa i als altres que no era fràgil.

She wanted to prove to herself and others that she was not fragile.

"Mira, Clara!

"Look, Clara!"

" va cridar l'Elena, la seva amiga, mentre assenyalava el cartell de la caminada penjat al passadís.

shouted Elena, her friend, as she pointed to the hike poster hanging in the hallway.

Clara va somriure amb entusiasme, però també amb una certa ansietat.

Clara smiled with enthusiasm, but also with a certain anxiety.

En Jordi, el mestre de ciències, sabia que el clima de muntanya era dur per a algú amb asma.

Jordi, the science teacher, knew that the mountain climate was tough for someone with asthma.

"Clara, estàs segura que vols fer aquesta caminada?

"Clara, are you sure you want to do this hike?"

", li va preguntar amb preocupació.

he asked her with concern.

"Sí, Jordi.

"Yes, Jordi.

Estic preparada.

I am prepared.

Portaré el meu inhalador i un pla per si passa res", va respondre Clara amb decisió.

I will bring my inhaler and a plan just in case," Clara responded with determination.

El dia de la caminada, el paisatge estava cobert de neu, i el grup de joves es va endinsar pel camí que serpentejava per la muntanya.

On the day of the hike, the landscape was covered in snow, and the group of young people set off on the path that wound through the mountain.

Clara seguia endavant amb pas ferm, gaudint de cada respiració d'aire fred, però conscient de les seves limitacions.

Clara continued with a steady pace, enjoying every breath of cold air, but aware of her limitations.

Tot anava bé fins que, a mig camí, Clara va sentir un pes al pit.

Everything was going well until midway, when Clara felt a heaviness in her chest.

El seu ritme respiratori es va tornar erràtic, i l’angoixa li va envair el rostre.

Her breathing became erratic, and anxiety spread across her face.

Elena va notar el canvi immediatament.

Elena noticed the change immediately.

"Jordi, Clara no pot respirar bé!

"Jordi, Clara can't breathe well!"

"El grup es va aturar.

The group stopped.

En Jordi va actuar ràpidament, reunint els alumnes mentre Elena ajudava Clara a utilitzar el seu inhalador.

Jordi acted quickly, gathering the students while Elena helped Clara use her inhaler.

Els moments es feien eterns, però amb cada alè forçat, Clara començava a recuperar-se lentament.

The moments seemed endless, but with each labored breath, Clara began to recover slowly.

Quan van tornar al col·legi, l'aire internat semblava menys opressiu que el de la muntanya.

When they returned to the school, the air inside seemed less oppressive than that of the mountain.

Clara va restar en silenci una estona, reflexionant sobre el que havia passat.

Clara remained silent for a while, reflecting on what had happened.

Entenia ara que no era feblesa acceptar les seves limitacions, sinó un senyal de saviesa.

She now understood that it was not a weakness to accept her limitations, but a sign of wisdom.

Els seus amics i professors, però, parlaven admirats de la seva valentia i del seu esforç per ser ella mateixa, malgrat les dificultats.

Her friends and teachers, however, spoke admiringly of her bravery and effort to be herself, despite the difficulties.

L'endemà, Clara, mirant la vall des del seu pupitre, va comprendre que la seva força estava en la seva perseverança i en prendre decisions encertades.

The next day, Clara, looking at the valley from her desk, realized that her strength was in her perseverance and making wise decisions.

No era menys independent per tenir cura de la seva salut.

She was not any less independent for taking care of her health.

Era al contrari, més forta.

On the contrary, she was stronger.

I així, al fred dels Pirineus, Clara va descobrir que la resiliència es troba en l'acceptació i en la cura de si mateixa, sabent que lluitar pel que volia, sempre i quan tingués cura, era el seu veritable triomf.

And so, in the cold of the Pirineus, Clara discovered that resilience lies in acceptance and self-care, knowing that fighting for what she wanted, as long as she took care, was her true triumph.
