Are you really buying a car online

on auto trader right now?

Really, I can get super specific with dealer listings

and see cars based on my budget.

You can really have a delivered or pick it up.

I think kid is walking up the slide.

Really auto trader.

Buy your car online.

Really?

Really?

It was the first thing that was not easy.

It was the moment when I thought about it

that I was able to convince you

about which the power of all of you was forced to fight.

I was excited, I had to try it.

I knew that Petra and Mary were ready.

After the elections, we wanted to control

how they were able to fight

and began to balance between training and training at the distance.

The table was full of energy.

From where, in the snow-covered forest nature,

we were able to get rid of the smoke and smoke.

In the last winter, I couldn't find hope

that the hard work was carried out.

I had to go through it.

Then I came down to the lake.

The river was natural, and I was sitting under the lake.

I wanted to reach the goal of my own and my own growth.

But when the snow-covered forest fell,

I wanted to give it to the spirit.

One of us heard the sound of the rain,

and the rain, to it.

It looked like Peter and Mark,

who were fans of the country.

We were able to support it.

It was a new strength to the soul.

It looked like a bird,

and it was not able to give up.

We were able to get rid of the smoke and smoke.

And we paid for it.

We were able to qualify.

After the return to the lake,

the parents learned about the rest.

Peter, who was getting married, was paid.

Peter at the end of the night,

and Mark tried to get rid of it.

He understood that the ice and the rain

were not strong enough,

but it was lonely.

He learned that he didn't have to worry about himself,

and that he could not come back from the responsibility.

The Schumanns were covered with snow,

but the heart grew brighter.

Finally, he found a new meaning

after the success of Alaska in his family.

I knew that the house was waiting for it

and there was no minute,

but there will be a lot of hope for Alaska.

In the time between Winter and Spring,

when the forest of Somava still smelled of snow,

but the first signs of thought

can already be felt,

a training camp was held.

Then, in those mountains,

it was a very difficult time

to get rid of the snow.

In the time between Winter and Spring,

when the forest of Somava still smelled of snow,

the first signs of thought

were found in those mountains

and it smelled of snow,

but it was a very difficult time to get rid of the snow.

Here, in the Quiet Mountains,

Janna was trying to fulfill her dream

to become a member of the National Biathlon Team.

Janna was a young woman

after the defeat of her strength.

Janna was a young woman full of determination

and strength.

However,

something heavy weighed on her heart.

At home,

besides her dreams of Biathlon,

Janna had one major task.

She had to take care of her younger siblings,

Petra and Merrick,

ever since their parents passed away.

It was the first time she left them alone.

It tore her heart to think about leaving those

she tried so hard to care for.

Janna decided,

I have to try.

She believed that Petra and Merrick were ready.

In the evenings,

she called them to check on how they were doing

and tried to balance between training

and caring from afar.

The camp was full of energy.

Here, in the snowy semava nature,

encouraging shouts and laughter echoed.

Under the grey winter sky,

there was a sense of hope that hard work

would pay off.

Janna had to focus.

Then came the important race.

The terrain was challenging

and Janna felt under pressure.

She wanted to reach the goal for herself

and for her siblings.

But when she slipped and fell hard,

she wanted to give up in her mind.

Suddenly she heard familiar voices.

Janna, go for it.

She turned into Petra and Merrick

cheering for her from the edge of the track.

They came to support her.

This gave her new strength.

She got up and,

although she felt pain,

she decided not to give up.

With their names on her lips,

she crossed the finish line.

And it paid off.

She qualified.

After returning home,

she realized that her siblings

had learned about her.

Upon returning home,

she found that her siblings

had learned independence.

The care she gave them paid off.

Petra, to the end,

believed in her siblings

and Merrick tried to hide.

Petra even cooked dinner

and Merrick took care of the cleaning.

Janna realized that her love and trust

had not only strengthened them,

but herself as well.

She realized that she did not have to

all of herself

and that she could not return

to her siblings.

She learned that she doesn't have

to handle everything on her own

and that dreams can go hand-in-hand

with responsibility.

The sumava hills were still covered in snow,

but in her heart,

spring had blossomed.

She had finally found a balance

between the desire for success

and love for her family.

Janna realized

that she did not have to wait

for her independence.

But her happiness

was hoping for her love.

Janna knew that at home

awaited not just her past,

but also a future

full of hope and love.
