Letné slnko žiarilo na malý rodinný statok Jozefa.
The summer sun was shining on Jozef's small family farm.
Nad krajinou sa vznášal jemný vánok, ktorý poľahky preháňal vôňu čerstvej trávy.
A gentle breeze floated over the land, easily carrying the scent of fresh grass.
Polia boli zelené, plné života a skrytých možností.
The fields were green, full of life and hidden possibilities.
Volám sa Jozef.
My name is Jozef.
Som stredoškolák, zvedavý a plný nadšenia pre životné prostredie.
I am a high school student, curious and full of enthusiasm for the environment.
Toto leto som dostal skvelú príležitosť na letný projekt o udržateľnom poľnohospodárstve.
This summer, I got a great opportunity for a summer project on sustainable agriculture.
Vravel som si, že toto je šanca, ako urobiť niečo, čo by mohlo zaujať moju triedu aj učiteľa.
I told myself this was a chance to do something that could interest my class as well as the teacher.
Chcel som všetkých ohúriť.
I wanted to impress everyone.
Avšak, nemal som mnoho zdrojov.
However, I didn't have many resources.
Moji spolužiaci boli skeptickí.
My classmates were skeptical.
Hovorili, že je to zbytočný projekt.
They said it was a pointless project.
Ale ja som im chcel ukázať, že to možné je.
But I wanted to show them that it was possible.
Rozhodol som sa využiť dedkov statok ako model.
I decided to use my grandfather's farm as a model.
Bol to starý, ale krásny statok obkolesený kopcami.
It was an old but beautiful farm surrounded by hills.
Tam sa začala moja cesta.
That's where my journey began.
Každý deň som využíval tie najjednoduchšie a najmenej nákladné nápady.
Every day, I used the simplest and least expensive ideas.
Znovu som použil staré sudy na zachytávanie dažďovej vody, postavil som kompost a dokonca sme s dedom vyrobili veterný mlyn.
I reused old barrels to capture rainwater, built a compost, and even made a windmill with my grandpa.
Polia sme obohatili prírodným hnojivom, ktoré sme sami pripravili z rastlinného odpadu.
We enriched the fields with natural fertilizer that we prepared ourselves from plant waste.
Anna a Marek, moji priatelia, ma začali navštevovať.
Anna and Marek, my friends, started visiting me.
Pomáhali mi s prácou na poli, poháňali sme sa navzájom, zdieľali nápady.
They helped me with the work in the field, we motivated each other, and shared ideas.
Ich podpora mi pridala na odhodlaní.
Their support gave me more determination.
Keď prišla chvíľa prezentácie, bol som nervózny.
When the moment for the presentation came, I was nervous.
Celú noc pred tým som nespal.
I hadn't slept the whole night before.
Ale keď som stál pred triedou a učiteľom, cítil som, že to stojí za to.
But as I stood in front of the class and the teacher, I felt that it was worth it.
Predstavil som celý proces od začiatku až do konca.
I presented the entire process from start to finish.
Ukázal som im naše plodiny, ktoré sme vypestovali a zvieratá, ktoré sme chovali s ohľadom na životné prostredie.
I showed them our crops that we had grown and the animals we raised with regard to the environment.
Po prezentácii som pocítil chvíľu ticha.
After the presentation, I felt a moment of silence.
Potom sa ozval potlesk.
Then there was applause.
Učiteľ povedal, že projekt bol inšpirujúci.
The teacher said that the project was inspiring.
Anna a Marek navrhli, aby sme v škole založili klub o udržateľnom poľnohospodárstve.
Anna and Marek suggested that we start a sustainable agriculture club at school.
Bol som nadšený.
I was thrilled.
Táto myšlienka našla medzi našimi spolužiakmi podporu.
This idea found support among our classmates.
Na konci som získal viac ako len uznanie.
In the end, I gained more than just recognition.
Získal som dôveru v seba a svoj nápad.
I gained confidence in myself and my idea.
Uvedomil som si, že s vytrvalosťou a kreativitou je možné dosiahnuť aj to, čo na začiatku vyzerá ťažko.
I realized that with perseverance and creativity, it is possible to achieve things that seem difficult at first.
Statok, ten krásny, starý, ale živý statok, ma naučil viac, než som si kedy myslel.
The farm, that beautiful, old, yet lively farm, taught me more than I ever thought it would.
Bol to začiatok nového nadšenia, nového klubu a nového spôsobu, ako vidieť svet.
It was the beginning of a new enthusiasm, a new club, and a new way of seeing the world.
Toto leto mi zostane v srdci navždy.
This summer will stay in my heart forever.
