Bhí madra gaoithe ag imeacht timpeall Halla na Scoile i nGaillimh.

A greyhound was wandering around the School Hall in Galway.

Bhí an samhradh beagnach thart, agus bhí tús na scoilbhliana anseo.

Summer was nearly over, and the start of the school year was here.

Tá Ócáid Tallainne Ag Gach Éinne an-suntasach sa scoil.

The "Everyone's Got Talent" event is very significant in the school.

Bhí an halla ag crith le fuinneamh, scoláirí ina n-éide scoile samhraidh, ag caint agus ag gáire go neamhbhalbh.

The hall was buzzing with energy, students in their summer school uniforms, talking and laughing openly.

Bhí Aoife ina seasamh sa chúinne, ag mothú beagáinín neirbhíseach.

Aoife was standing in the corner, feeling a little nervous.

Bhí sí go hiontach ag canadh, ach bhí eagla an domhain uirthi roimh an stáitse.

She was excellent at singing, but she was terrified of the stage.

Ní raibh an fhis ag Cian, a chara is fearr, faoina tallann.

Cian, her best friend, had no idea about her talent.

Bhí sé i gcónaí réidh chun í a spreagadh, ach fós, choinnigh sí an rún sin aici féin.

He was always ready to encourage her, but still, she kept that secret to herself.

I lár an halla, bhí Saoirse ag cur deireadh lena cleachtadh deireanach.

In the middle of the hall, Saoirse was finishing up her last practice.

Bhí sí gnóthach agus muiníneach, i gcónaí ag buachan an comórtais.

She was busy and confident, always winning the competition.

Bhí Aoife ag féachaint uirthi le meascán d’admhaíocht agus éad.

Aoife was watching her with a mix of admiration and envy.

Bhraith sí go mbeadh sé dodhéanta dul in iomaíocht léi.

She felt it would be impossible to compete with her.

Le linn na sosa, chuaigh Cian trasna chuig Aoife ag rá, "Ba chóir duit triail a bhaint as an gcomórtas.

During the break, Cian went over to Aoife saying, "You should try for the competition.

Tá tú i bhfad níos cumasaí ná mar a cheapfá.

You're much more capable than you think."

" Bhí a súile ag glioscarnach le dóchas, ach d’fhág an smaoineamh an urlár ag Aoife.

His eyes were sparkling with hope, but the idea left Aoife overwhelmed.

Ach, mar a d’iompair an lá ar aghaidh, tháinig cinneadh tromchúiseach uirthi.

Yet, as the day carried on, she made a serious decision.

Thug sí a hainm isteach sa chomórtas, ag an nóiméad deireanach.

She entered her name in the competition at the last moment.

Tháinig an oíche mhór, agus bhí gliondar áthais le mothú san aer.

The big night came, and there was a sense of joyous excitement in the air.

Bhí gach rud réidh.

Everything was ready.

Gléasta sa doras dorcha, d’fhéach Aoife amach ar an slua.

Dressed in the dark doorway, Aoife looked out at the crowd.

Bhraith sí an teocht imní ag éirí níos airde, ach d'fhan Cian ansin, ag tabhairt tacaíochta.

She felt the heat of anxiety rising, but Cian remained there, offering support.

D’fhéadfadh sí a bhriathra a chloisteáil ina ceann: "Tá tú in ann é a dhéanamh, Aoife.

She could hear his words in her head: "You can do it, Aoife."

"Nuair a ghlaodh a hainm, rith buille mo chroí trína corp.

When her name was called, a heartbeat raced through her body.

D'éirigh sí agus shiúil sí amach ar an stáitse.

She stood up and walked out onto the stage.

Glanadh an slua go ciúin.

The crowd went silent.

Chrom Aoife í féin chun na cuimhní is suaimhní a fháil, agus thosaigh sí ag canadh.

Aoife focused on finding her most peaceful memories and started singing.

Bhí gach nóta foirfe.

Every note was perfect.

Scaip an suaimhneas timpeall an tseomra cosúil le tonn, agus bhí na sluaite ina thost.

The calm spread around the room like a wave, and the audience was silent.

De réir a chéile, d'fhostaigh na scoláirí.

Gradually, the students erupted into applause.

Thug siad bualadh bos throm di.

They gave her a loud ovation.

Bhí Cian ag léim suas agus síos le gliondar, Aoife ag mothú bhuíochas agus faoiseamh.

Cian was jumping up and down with joy, and Aoife felt gratitude and relief.

Rinne Saoirse gáire le sult, ag admháil an bua dochreidte a bhí ag Aoife leis an amhrán sna nótaí foirfe sin.

Saoirse smiled with delight, acknowledging the incredible victory that Aoife had with that song in those perfect notes.

Ag deireadh an lae, thuig Aoife go raibh sí ní amháin tar éis an comórtas a bhuachan ach a croí féin a shárú.

At the end of the day, Aoife realized that she had not only won the competition but had also conquered her own heart.

An ardú muiníne a tharla, d’athraigh sé a saol.

The boost in confidence changed her life.

D'fhill sí abhaile an lá sin, croí lán de bhród nua faoina cumas féin a roinnt leis an domhan.

She returned home that day, heart full of new pride in her ability to share with the world.
