Sk: "Neboj sa, Marek," hovorí.
En: "Don't worry, Marek," she says.

En: "The parents are friendly. Just be yourself."

Sk: "Ďakujem, Jana. Len mám trochu obavy. Chcem byť dobrý učiteľ," odpovedá Marek.

En: "When I was little, I was full of energy too," Marek says.

Sk: "Môj učiteľ mi dal šancu vyniknúť v tom, čo ma bavilo.
En: "My teacher gave me a chance to excel at what I loved.

Sk: Chcem, aby deti v mojej triede cítili to isté.
En: I want the children in my class to feel the same.

Sk: Budeme sa učiť pomocou hier a tímovej práce."
En: We'll learn through games and teamwork."

Sk: "Vidíš? Stačí, ak budeš sám sebou," hovorí s úsmevom.
En: "See? Just be yourself," she says with a smile.

Sk: A Marek si uvedomuje, že poctivosť a autenticita sú kľúčové.
