Tallinna Avaliku Gümnaasiumi aulas valitses sagin.

In the hall of Tallinna Avaliku Gümnaasiumi, there was a bustle.

Kõikjal oli kuulda teatritüki lausekatkeid ning lavastköögid valgustasid lava pehmete toonidega.

Theatre piece fragments could be heard everywhere, and stage lights illuminated the stage with soft tones.

Sügisõhk oli täis ootusärevust, sest nädalatepikkune töö hakkas lõpuks vilja kandma.

The autumn air was full of anticipation because the weeks-long work was finally starting to bear fruit.

Teatritrupp valmistus suureks esinduseks.

The theatre troupe was preparing for a big performance.

Marek, vaikne ja mõtlik poiss, seisis lavalaua kõrval.

Marek, a quiet and thoughtful boy, stood beside the stage table.

Ta jälgis, kuidas teised õpilased kordamööda oma repliike harjutasid ja laval suhtlesid.

He watched as other students took turns practicing their lines and interacting on stage.

Marek unistas peaosast, kuid alati tõmbasid teda tagasi kartused ja eneseuskumuse puudumine.

Marek dreamed of the lead role, but he was always held back by fears and a lack of self-belief.

Kati, tema parim sõbranna, seisis kõrvale ja andis talle julgustavaid sõnu.

Kati, his best friend, stood beside him and offered encouraging words.

"Sa saad sellega hakkama, Marek," ütles Kati leebelt.

"You can do it, Marek," said Kati gently.

"Sa oled andekas.

"You are talented.

Ära lase hirmudel enda lõpptulemusi dikteerida."

Don't let fears dictate your final outcomes."

Liina, enesekindel ja kogenud esineja, valmistus samuti peaosa proovima.

Liina, a confident and experienced performer, was also preparing to audition for the lead role.

Tema kohalolek oli alati märgatav, ja ta teadis, et ta on tugev kandidaat.

Her presence was always noticeable, and she knew she was a strong candidate.

Kuid Marek pigem püsis tagaplaanil, vaevas iseendaga sisevõitluses.

But Marek, instead, stayed in the background, struggling with his internal battle.

Tahts ta proovima oma unistust?

Did he want to pursue his dream?

Kas julgustusest piisab tema hirmudest jagu saama?

Was the encouragement enough to overcome his fears?

Järgneva päeva jooksul kõndis Marek mööda kooli koridore, tema meel täis kahtlusi.

During the following day, Marek walked through the school corridors, his mind full of doubts.

Ehkki sõbrad püüdsid teda toetada, jäi tal ikkagi tunne, et ei suuda suure publiku ette astuda.

Even though friends tried to support him, he still felt that he couldn't step in front of a large audience.

Kuid see küsimus piinas teda - kas proovin või mitte?

But this question tormented him - should he try or not?

Kumbki valik polnud kerge, aga kui proovi aeg saabus, astus Marek lõpuks sammud lavale.

Neither choice was easy, but when audition time came, Marek finally took steps onto the stage.

Süda tagus kiiresti, aga ta tundis Kati silmi jälgimas teda julgustavalt rahvast täis saalis.

His heart was pounding quickly, but he felt Kati's eyes watching him encouragingly in the audience-filled hall.

Marek sulges hetkeks silmad, hingas sügavalt sisse ja hakkas rääkima.

Marek closed his eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and began to speak.

Selle hetke erilisus jäi temaga - tal oli piisavalt julgust oma hirmudega silmitsi seista.

The uniqueness of that moment stayed with him – he had enough courage to face his fears.

Kui ta lõpetas oma auditioni, oli saal vaikne, siis kostus aplausiruulis.

When he finished his audition, the hall was silent, and then applause rolled through.

Eesti tantsimine oli Mareki sees!

The Estonian dance was in Marek!

Ehkki Marek ei saanud peaosa, oli tema esituses käigus midagi erilist tabatud.

Although Marek didn't get the lead role, there was something special captured in his performance.

Õpetajad pakkusid talle toetavat rolli, mille üle Marek oli rahul ja tänulik.

The teachers offered him a supportive role, which Marek was pleased and grateful for.

Talle polnud see vähem tähendusrikas, sest teekond ise oli see, kus ta leidis kindlust ja kasu nägi oma sisemine õigus luksus.

It was not any less meaningful to him because the journey was where he found confidence and saw the benefit of his inner right to shine.

Nii leidis Marek endale koht, kus võis vabalt väljendada ennast.

Thus, Marek found a place where he could freely express himself.

Ta õppis, et riskide võtmine võib tuua kasvamist ja uusi võimalusi.

He learned that taking risks can bring growth and new opportunities.

Nüüd laval, koos oma trupi ja sõpradega, ei pidanud Marek enam kahtlusi - see oli tema aeg särada!

Now on stage, with his troupe and friends, Marek no longer had doubts – it was his time to shine!
