Letné slnko pretekalo cez okná a osvetľovalo kaviareň Freelancer’s Home v Bratislave.

The summer sun streamed through the windows, illuminating the Freelancer’s Home café in Bratislava.

Kaviareň bola naplnená študentmi.

The café was filled with students.

Vzduch hučal vzrušením.

The air buzzed with excitement.

Všetci pracovali na svojich prácach a projektoch.

Everyone was working on their assignments and projects.

Jakub sedel pri stole pri okne.

Jakub sat at a table by the window.

Pred sebou mal notebook.

He had a laptop in front of him.

Sústredene pozeral na obrazovku.

He stared intently at the screen.

Vedľa neho sedela Anna.

Next to him sat Anna.

Bola plná energie a radostí, no Jakub bol nervózny.

She was full of energy and joy, but Jakub was nervous.

Dnes je ten deň, pomyslel si Jakub.

Today is the day, Jakub thought.

Musím urobiť dojem.

I need to make an impression.

Hlavne na Annu.

Especially on Anna.

Jakub bol starší študent strednej školy.

Jakub was an older high school student.

Bol vášnivý pre technológie, ale často mu chýbalo sebavedomie.

He was passionate about technology, but he often lacked confidence.

Chcel získať štipendium za svoj technologický projekt.

He wanted to win a scholarship for his technology project.

A sprevádzala ho jeho spolužiačka Anna.

And his classmate Anna was accompanying him.

Anna bola príjemná a priateľská.

Anna was pleasant and friendly.

Jakuba fascinovala jej odvaha a sebadôvera.

Jakub was fascinated by her courage and confidence.

Dúfal, že ju jeho projekt zaujme.

He hoped his project would interest her.

Jakub, potrebuješ niečo pomôcť? spýtala sa Anna milo.

Jakub, do you need any help? Anna asked kindly.

Nie, ďakujem, odpovedal Jakub.

No, thank you, Jakub replied.

Jeho hrdosť mu nedovolila prijať pomoc.

His pride wouldn't allow him to accept help.

Projekt sa volal “Inteligentný Domáci Asistent”.

The project was called “Smart Home Assistant.”

Jakub dlho pracoval na tomto projekte.

Jakub had worked on this project for a long time.

Bol presvedčený, že má šancu vyhrať štipendium.

He was convinced that he had a chance to win the scholarship.

Ale keď sa blížila prezentácia, všetko sa zdalo ísť proti nemu.

But as the presentation approached, everything seemed to go against him.

Jakubove ruky sa triasli.

Jakub's hands trembled.

Vstal a zamieril k prednej časti kaviarne.

He stood up and headed to the front of the café.

Všetci študenti a sudcovia sledovali.

All the students and judges were watching.

Spustil prezentáciu na veľkej obrazovke.

He started the presentation on a large screen.

A potom to prišlo.

And then it happened.

Technická porucha.

A technical glitch.

Obrazovka zamrzla.

The screen froze.

Všetci stíchli.

Everyone fell silent.

Nie, nie teraz, pomyslel si Jakub.

No, not now, Jakub thought.

Pokoj, musíš to vyriešiť.

Stay calm, you must resolve this.

Ale jeho myseľ bola prázdna.

But his mind was blank.

Nevedel, čo robiť.

He didn’t know what to do.

Vtedy k nemu prišla Anna.

Then Anna approached him.

Jej oči boli plné porozumenia a odhodlania.

Her eyes were full of understanding and determination.

Jakub, dovoľ mi pomôcť, povedala tichým hlasom.

Jakub, let me help you, she said softly.

Spolu to zvládneme.

We can do this together.

Jakub zhlboka vydýchol.

Jakub took a deep breath.

Otočil sa k nej.

He turned to her.

Prijatie jej pomoci bolo pre neho ťažké.

Accepting her help was difficult for him.

Ale vedel, že bez nej to nepôjde.

But he knew he couldn’t do it without her.

Ďakujem, Anna, povedal.

Thank you, Anna, he said.

Potrebujem tvoju pomoc.

I need your help.

Anna rýchlo prešla k notebooku.

Anna quickly went to the laptop.

Pár klikov a problém bol vyriešený.

A few clicks and the problem was solved.

Jakub pokračoval v prezentácii.

Jakub continued with the presentation.

Tentoraz kľudnejšie a sebaisté.

This time more calmly and confidently.

Sudcovia a spolužiaci hviezdili Jakuba pozornosťou.

The judges and classmates watched Jakub attentively.

Anna pri ňom stála a podporovala ho.

Anna stood by him and supported him.

Keď prezentácia skončila, celý priestor zaplnil potlesk.

When the presentation ended, the entire room erupted in applause.

Jakubovi spadol kameň zo srdca.

Jakub felt a weight lift off his shoulders.

Prezentácia bola úspešná.

The presentation was successful.

Cítil sa sebavedomejší.

He felt more confident.

Jakub, bol si skvelý, usmiala sa Anna.

Jakub, you were great, Anna smiled.

Vidíš, čo všetko dokážeš, keď prijmeš pomoc.

See what you can achieve when you accept help.

Jakub len prikývol.

Jakub just nodded.

V tú horúcu letnú noc, Jakub pochopil, že prijatie pomoci nie je znakom slabosti.

On that hot summer evening, Jakub realized that accepting help is not a sign of weakness.

Je to sila.

It is a strength.

Vďaka Anne získal viac ako len úspech v prezentácii.

Thanks to Anna, he gained more than just success in the presentation.

Našiel novú odvahu a sebavedomie.

He found new courage and confidence.

Konečne sa cítil pripravený na ďalší krok.

Finally, he felt ready for the next step.

S odvahou, sebavedomím a novým priateľstvom bol pripravený čeliť budúcnosti.

With courage, confidence, and a new friendship, he was ready to face the future.

A možno, len možno, získal viac než len štipendium.

And maybe, just maybe, he gained more than just a scholarship.
