Story Transcript:
Et: Kevadpäike siras läbi koolibussi akende, kui õpilased istusid vaikselt oma kohtadel.
En: The spring sun shone through the school bus windows as the students sat quietly in their seats.
Et: Kaarin vaatas aknast välja, lugedes puid, mis mööda libisesid.
En: Kaarin looked out the window, counting the trees that slid by.
Et: Sisimas oli ta rahutu ja ärevil.
En: Inside, she was restless and anxious.
Et: Tiina istus Kaarini kõrval, pilk kindlalt mobiiliekraanil.
En: Tiina sat next to Kaarin, her gaze fixed firmly on her phone screen.
Et: Kaarin teadis Tiinat kui sõbralikku ja toredat klassikaaslast, kuid nad polnud kunagi vestelnud sügavamalt.
En: Kaarin knew Tiina as a friendly and nice classmate, but they had never had a deep conversation.
Et: Täna oli teistsugune päev.
En: Today was a different day.
Et: Koolireis viis nad psühhiaatriaosakonda.
En: The school trip took them to the psychiatry department.
Et: Kaarin tundis, kuidas süda puperdas, kui nad lähenesid haiglale.
En: Kaarin felt her heart racing as they approached the hospital.
Et: Valged seinad ja ere valgus koridorides tekitasid steriilsuse tunde, ometi oli nende seintel patsiendikunsti, mis lisas soojust ja lootust.
En: The white walls and bright lights in the corridors created a sense of sterility, yet there was patient art on the walls, which added warmth and hope.
Et: Õpetaja juhendas neid väikestesse gruppidesse ja tutvustas osakonna töötajat.
En: The teacher guided them into small groups and introduced the department staff.
Et: Rühm astus koosolekusaali, kus nad hakkasid arutama vaimse tervise teemasid.
En: The group stepped into the meeting room, where they started discussing mental health topics.
Et: Kaarin tundis, et kõik vaatavad teda.
En: Kaarin felt like everyone was looking at her.
Et: Tema ärevus kasvas.
En: Her anxiety grew.
Et: Kui kaua ta suudab oma segadust varjata?
En: How long could she hide her confusion?
Et: Süda peksis kiiresti, kui töötaja kutsus arutlema.
En: Her heart beat rapidly as the staff member called for discussion.
Et: Kaarin teadis, et peab oma hirmudest jagu saama.
En: Kaarin knew she had to overcome her fears.
Et: Ta heitis pilgu Tiinale, kes naeratas julgustavalt.
En: She glanced at Tiina, who smiled encouragingly.
Et: See andis Kaarinile jõudu.
En: That gave Kaarin strength.
Et: "Kõigile on keeruline," ütles Kaarin vaiksel häälel, ent siiski nii, et teised kuulsid.
En: "It's difficult for everyone," said Kaarin in a quiet voice, yet loud enough for others to hear.
Et: "Ma tunnen sageli ärevust ja vahel ei tea, kellele rääkida."
En: "I often feel anxious and sometimes don't know who to talk to."
Et: Kaarini peopesad higistasid, kuid ta jätkas.
En: Kaarin's palms were sweating, but she continued.
Et: "Tiina, kas... kas sa oled kunagi tundnud sarnaselt?"
En: "Tiina, have you... have you ever felt the same?"
Et: Tiina vaatas teda mõistvalt.
En: Tiina looked at her with understanding.
Et: "Kaarin, sa ei ole üksi," sõnas ta.
En: "Kaarin, you're not alone," she said.
Et: "Ma tunnen nii vahel samuti.
En: "I feel that way sometimes too.
Et: Hea, et sa rääkisid."
En: It's good that you spoke up."
Et: Kui koosolek lõppes, oli Kaarin sunnitud naeratama.
En: When the meeting ended, Kaarin found herself smiling.
Et: Midagi tema sees oli muutunud.
En: Something inside her had changed.
Et: Tiina sõprusside oli andnud talle kindlustunde, mida ta ammu otsis.
En: Tiina's friendship had given her the confidence she had long sought.
Et: Ta tundis, et kuulub kuhugi.
En: She felt like she belonged somewhere.
Et: Kolis tagasi koolibussi, kustutas kevadpäike viimsegi mure Kaarini meelest.
En: As they returned to the school bus, the spring sun erased every last worry from Kaarin's mind.
Et: Ta mõistis, et oma tunnete jagamine tõi hoopis uue sõpruse ja ühenduse.
En: She realized that sharing her feelings had brought a new friendship and connection.
Et: Ja nii, kui buss jälle kooli poole veeres, tundis Kaarin end kergemana kui kunagi varem.
En: And so, as the bus rolled back towards school, Kaarin felt lighter than ever before.
