Mateja je stala na obali jezera Bled.

Mateja stood on the shore of Lake Bled.

Voda je sijala v soncu, obdajala jo je zelena narava, v daljavi pa so se risali Julijske Alpe.

The water shone in the sun, surrounded by green nature, and in the distance, the Julian Alps loomed.

Bil je začetek poletnega tabora z njeno šolo.

It was the start of a summer camp with her school.

Vse bi moralo biti popolno, vendar je Matejo nekaj žulilo.

Everything should have been perfect, but something was bothering Mateja.

Bila je odlična učenka, vendar jo je samozavest zapustila.

She was an excellent student, but her self-confidence had left her.

Ko je pogledala v jezero, ni videla le mirne vode, ampak tudi svoje skrbi.

When she looked at the lake, she saw not only its calm waters but also her worries.

Zdelo se ji je, da mora vedno dosegati visoka pričakovanja.

It seemed to her she always had to meet high expectations.

Lučka je prišla in jo nežno udarila po rami.

Lučka came and gently tapped her on the shoulder.

"Mateja, greš z nami na vožnjo s kanuji?

"Mateja, are you coming with us for a canoe ride?

Tomaž obljublja, da ne bo prevrnil čolna," se je nasmehnila.

Tomaž promises not to overturn the boat," she smiled.

Lučka je vedno vedela, kako razbiti napetost.

Lučka always knew how to break the tension.

Tomaž je z nasmehom že čakal.

Tomaž was already waiting with a grin.

"Ljubi kanuji se ne smejo zamuditi," je rekel v smehu.

"Beloved canoes must not be missed," he said with a laugh.

Skrbno je pazil, da se kdorkoli nasmeje.

He carefully ensured that everyone smiled.

Mateja je globoko vdihnila.

Mateja took a deep breath.

"Zakaj pa ne," si je rekla sama pri sebi.

"Why not," she told herself.

"Poskusila bom.

"I will try.

Ne bom dovolila, da me strah prevzame."

I won't let fear take over."

Sedli so v kanu in začeli veslati.

They sat in the canoe and began paddling.

Voda je bila mirna, otok s cerkvico sredi jezera pa privlačen.

The water was calm, and the island with its little church in the middle of the lake was enticing.

Kmalu so vsi trije uživali v plovbi in družbi.

Soon all three were enjoying the ride and the company.

Nenadoma so se oblaki zgrnili nad jezero.

Suddenly, clouds gathered over the lake.

Dežne kaplje so začele padati.

Raindrops began to fall.

"Nevihta!" je zaklical Tomaž, a brez šale tokrat.

"Storm!" shouted Tomaž, but without joking this time.

Mateja je pogledala Lučko.

Mateja looked at Lučka.

Lučka je mirno rekla: "Moramo se vrniti.

Lučka calmly said, "We need to return.

Veslajmo skupaj."

Let's paddle together."

Skupaj so veslali, vsak je pomagal po svojih najboljših močeh.

Together they paddled, each helping to the best of their ability.

Voda je postajala razburkana, ampak so se trudili ostati mirni.

The water became choppy, but they tried to remain calm.

Mateja je začela zaupati vase, v svoje roke, ki so enakomerno potiskale veslo, in v prijatelja ob sebi.

Mateja started trusting herself, her hands that steadily pushed the paddle, and her friends beside her.

Ko so končno dosegli obalo, so se vsi trije nasmehnili.

When they finally reached the shore, all three smiled.

Bili so premočeni, vendar varni.

They were soaked but safe.

Mateja je pogledala Lučko in Tomaža.

Mateja looked at Lučka and Tomaž.

Njeno srce je bilo polno hvaležnosti.

Her heart was full of gratitude.

Tomaž je rekel: "Veš, Mateja, si pogumna.

Tomaž said, "You know, Mateja, you're brave.

Vedno sem mislil, da si pogumna," z nasmehom.

I've always thought you're brave," with a smile.

Mateja je zdaj vedela, da ni bila nikoli sama.

Mateja now knew she was never alone.

Ni bila le učenka, temveč prijateljica, sodelavka, junakinja.

She was not just a student, but a friend, a teammate, a hero.

Tisti dan je Mateja premagala svoje dvome.

That day, Mateja overcame her doubts.

Nič več je jezero ni strašilo, ampak ji je le dajalo občutek miru in moči.

The lake no longer scared her; instead, it gave her a sense of peace and strength.

Našla je samozavest in uživala v trenutkih s prijatelji.

She found confidence and enjoyed the moments with friends.

Poletni tabor na Bledu je za Matejo postal svetla točka, na katero se je z veseljem spominjala.

The summer camp at Bled became a bright spot for Mateja that she fondly remembered.

Bled je bil več kot le kraj, kjer je premagala svojo negotovost; bil je začetek njene nove zgodbe.

Bled was more than just a place where she overcame her uncertainty; it was the beginning of her new story.
