Kada je objavljena moja
prva knjiga za djecu
prva knjiga za djecu
00:14
in 2001,
1
2570
1723
2001.,
00:16
I returned to my old elementary school
2
4293
2213
vratio sam se u svoju staru osnovnu školu
00:18
to talk to the students about being an author
3
6506
1940
kako bih pričao kako je biti autor
00:20
and an illustrator,
4
8446
1716
i ilustrator,
00:22
and when I was setting up my slide projector
5
10162
2733
i kada sam postavljao svoj projektor,
00:24
in the cafetorium,
6
12895
3205
u kantini,
00:28
I looked across the room,
7
16100
2048
pogledao sam preko sobe,
00:30
and there she was:
8
18148
2611
i ona je tamo bila:
00:32
my old lunch lady.
9
20759
1844
moja stara teta iz kantine.
00:34
She was still there at the school
10
22603
1967
Još je bila u školi
00:36
and she was busily preparing lunches for the day.
11
24570
2886
i bila je zauzeta pripremajući
ručkove za taj dan.
ručkove za taj dan.
00:39
So I approached her to say hello,
12
27456
1644
Prišao sam kako bih ju pozdravio,
00:41
and I said, "Hi, Jeannie! How are you?"
13
29100
1887
i rekao sam, "Zdravo Jeannie! Kako si?"
00:42
And she looked at me, and I could tell
14
30987
1570
I pogledala me, i znao sam
00:44
that she recognized me,
15
32557
1727
da me prepoznala,
00:46
but she couldn't quite place me,
and she looked at me and she said,
and she looked at me and she said,
16
34284
3085
ali me nije mogla smjestiti,
i pogledala me i rekla,
i pogledala me i rekla,
00:49
"Stephen Krosoczka?"
17
37369
2761
"Stephen Krosoczka?"
00:52
And I was amazed that she knew I was a Krosoczka,
18
40130
2142
I bio sam zadivljen kako
je znala da sam Krosoczka,
je znala da sam Krosoczka,
00:54
but Stephen is my uncle who
is 20 years older than I am,
is 20 years older than I am,
19
42272
3431
ali Stephen je moj ujak
koji je 20 godina stariji od mene,
koji je 20 godina stariji od mene,
00:57
and she had been his lunch lady when he was a kid.
20
45703
3137
i bila je njegova teta
iz kantine kada je bio dijete,
iz kantine kada je bio dijete,
01:00
And she started telling me about her grandkids,
21
48840
2505
I počela mi je pričati o unučadi,
01:03
and that blew my mind.
22
51345
2705
i to me zapanjilo.
01:06
My lunch lady had grandkids,
23
54050
1794
Teta iz kantine imala je unučad,
01:07
and therefore kids,
24
55844
964
samim time djecu,
01:08
and therefore left school at the end of the day?
25
56808
3255
i samim time odlazila
je iz škole na kraju dana?
je iz škole na kraju dana?
01:12
I thought she lived in the cafeteria
26
60063
1743
Mislio sam da živi u kantini
01:13
with the serving spoons.
27
61806
873
sa grabilicama.
01:14
I had never thought about any of that before.
28
62679
1943
Nikad nisam razmišljao o tome.
01:16
Well, that chance encounter inspired my imagination,
29
64622
3732
Taj slučajni susret potaknuo je moju maštu,
01:20
and I created the Lunch Lady graphic novel series,
30
68354
3551
i stvorio sam strip Teta iz kantine,
01:23
a series of comics about a lunch lady
31
71905
2177
seriju stripova o teti iz kantine
01:26
who uses her fish stick nunchucks
32
74082
2598
koja koristi svoje nunčake od ribljih štapića
01:28
to fight off evil cyborg substitutes,
33
76680
2902
kako bi se borila protiv zlih zamjena kiborga,
01:31
a school bus monster, and mutant mathletes,
34
79582
3307
čudovišta iz školskog busa,
i matematičara mutanata,
i matematičara mutanata,
01:34
and the end of every book,
35
82889
1467
i na kraju svake knjige,
01:36
they get the bad guy with their hairnet,
36
84356
1506
uhvate zlikovca mrežicom za kosu,
01:37
and they proclaim, "Justice is served!"
37
85862
3754
i izjavi, "Pravda je poslužena!"
01:41
(Laughter) (Applause)
38
89616
4253
(Smijeh) (Pljesak)
01:45
And it's been amazing, because the series
39
93869
2607
I bilo je odlično, jer je serija
01:48
was so welcomed into the reading lives of children,
40
96476
2893
bila tako dobro prihvaćena
od strane djece,
od strane djece,
01:51
and they sent me the most amazing letters
41
99369
2239
i slali su mi divna pisma,
01:53
and cards and artwork.
42
101608
2157
i razglednice i crteže.
01:55
And I would notice as I would visit schools,
43
103765
2474
I primjetio sam kako sam posjećivao škole,
01:58
the lunch staff would be involved in the programming
44
106239
2554
da je osoblje iz kantine
bilo uključeno u program
bilo uključeno u program
02:00
in a very meaningful way.
45
108793
2146
na vrlo značajan način.
02:02
And coast to coast,
46
110939
1746
I od obale do obale,
02:04
all of the lunch ladies told me the same thing:
47
112685
2095
sve tete rekle su mi istu stvar:
02:06
"Thank you for making a superhero in our likeness."
48
114780
3895
"Hvala ti što si napravio
superheroja koji sliči na nas."
superheroja koji sliči na nas."
02:10
Because the lunch lady has not been treated
49
118675
2769
Jer teta iz kantine nije tretirana
02:13
very kindly in popular culture over time.
50
121444
3522
lijepo u pop kulturi kroz vrijeme.
02:16
But it meant the most to Jeannie.
51
124966
2172
Ali najviše je to značilo Jeannie.
02:19
When the books were first published,
52
127138
1690
Kada su knjige objavljene,
02:20
I invited her to the book launch party,
53
128828
2104
pozvao sam ju na zabavu lansiranja,
02:22
and in front of everyone there,
54
130932
1811
i ispred svih ljudi ondje,
02:24
everyone she had fed over the years,
55
132743
1297
svih koje je hranila tokom godina,
02:26
I gave her a piece of artwork and some books.
56
134040
2940
dao sam joj umjetničko djelo i neke knjige.
02:28
And two years after this photo was taken,
57
136980
2569
Dvije godine nakon ove slike,
02:31
she passed away,
58
139549
1811
preminula je,
02:33
and I attended her wake,
59
141360
1087
i bio sam na njenom bdijenju,
02:34
and nothing could have prepared
me for what I saw there,
me for what I saw there,
60
142447
2839
i ništa me nije moglo
pripremiti za ono što sam vidio ondje,
pripremiti za ono što sam vidio ondje,
02:37
because next to her casket was this painting,
61
145286
3488
jer pored njenog lijesa bila je ova slika,
02:40
and her husband told me it meant so much to her
62
148774
3566
i njen suprug rekao mi je
kako puno joj je značilo
kako puno joj je značilo
02:44
that I had acknowledged her hard work,
63
152340
2418
da sam priznao njen naporan rad,
02:46
I had validated what she did.
64
154758
2866
da sam potvrdio ono što je činila.
02:49
And that inspired me to create a day
65
157624
1892
I to me inspiriralo da stvorim dan
02:51
where we could recreate that feeling
66
159516
2250
gdje bih mogao ponovno stvoriti taj osjećaj
02:53
in cafeterias across the country:
67
161766
3015
u kantinama diljem zemlje.
02:56
School Lunch Hero Day, a day where kids
68
164781
1653
Dan Heroja Školskog Ručka,
dan kada djeca
dan kada djeca
02:58
can make creative projects for their lunch staff.
69
166434
2858
mogu napraviti kreativne projekte
za osoblje iz kantine.
za osoblje iz kantine.
03:01
And I partnered with the
School Nutrition Association,
School Nutrition Association,
70
169292
2204
I u partnerstvu sa
Školskom Asocijacijom za Ishranu,
Školskom Asocijacijom za Ishranu,
03:03
and did you know that a little over 30 million kids
71
171496
3128
i jeste li znali da preko 30 milijuna djece
03:06
participate in school lunch programs every day.
72
174624
1822
sudjeluje u školskim programima
za ručak svakog dana.
za ručak svakog dana.
03:08
That equals up to a little over five billion lunches
73
176446
3352
To je jednako otprilike
pet milijardi ručaka
pet milijardi ručaka
03:11
made every school year.
74
179798
1507
koji se naprave svake školske godine.
03:13
And the stories of heroism go well beyond
75
181305
2386
Priče o herojstvu idu daleko iznad toga
03:15
just a kid getting a few extra chicken nuggets
76
183691
1987
da dijete dobije
nekoliko komadića piletine više
nekoliko komadića piletine više
03:17
on their lunch tray.
77
185678
1165
na svom poslužavniku za ručak.
03:18
There is Ms. Brenda in California,
78
186843
1709
To je gospođa Brenda u Kaliforniji,
03:20
who keeps a close eye on every
student that comes through her line
student that comes through her line
79
188552
2789
koja pazi na svakog učenika
koji prolazi njenom linijom
koji prolazi njenom linijom
03:23
and then reports back to the guidance counselor
80
191341
2485
i onda javlja školskim savjetnicima
03:25
if anything is amiss.
81
193826
1350
ako nešto ne štima.
03:27
There are the lunch ladies in Kentucky
82
195176
1424
Tu su i tete iz Kentuckya
03:28
who realized that 67 percent of their students
83
196600
2635
koje su shvatile da
67 posto njihovih učenika
67 posto njihovih učenika
03:31
relied on those meals every day,
84
199235
1973
ovisi o tim obrocima svaki dan,
03:33
and they were going without food over the summer,
85
201208
2116
i da će biti bez hrane preko ljeta,
03:35
so they retrofitted a school bus
86
203324
2024
pa su preuredile školski bus
03:37
to create a mobile feeding unit,
87
205348
1752
kako bi stvorile
mobilnu jedinicu za prehranu
mobilnu jedinicu za prehranu
03:39
and they traveled around the neighborhoods
88
207100
1235
i putovale su naseljima
03:40
feedings 500 kids a day during the summer.
89
208335
2799
hraneći 500 djece tijekom ljeta.
03:43
And kids made the most amazing projects.
90
211134
2595
I djeca su napravila najdivnije projekte.
03:45
I knew they would.
91
213729
1050
Znao sam da hoće.
03:46
Kids made hamburger cards
92
214779
1612
Djeca su pravile kartonske hamburgere
03:48
that were made out of construction paper.
93
216391
1994
od konstrukcijskog papira.
03:50
They took photos of their lunch lady's head
94
218385
1901
Slikali su glave svojih teta iz kantina
03:52
and plastered it onto my cartoon lunch lady
95
220286
1808
i ljepili ih na moje nacrtane
03:54
and fixed that to a milk carton
96
222094
1793
i to pričvršćivali na kartone mlijeka
03:55
and presented them with flowers.
97
223887
2486
i darivali im cvijeće.
03:58
And they made their own comics,
98
226373
2003
I stvarali su vlastite stripove,
04:00
starring the cartoon lunch lady
99
228376
1361
sa crtanom tetom iz kantine
04:01
alongside their actual lunch ladies.
100
229737
2223
zajedno sa stvarnim tetama iz kantine.
04:03
And they made thank you pizzas,
101
231960
1936
I radili su pizze zahvalnice,
04:05
where every kid signed a different topping
102
233896
1915
gdje je svako dijete
potpisalo različtii nadjev
potpisalo različtii nadjev
04:07
of a construction paper pizza.
103
235811
2959
na pizzi od papira.
04:10
For me, I was so moved by the response
104
238770
3600
Za mene, ja sam bio tako dirnut odgovorom
04:14
that came from the lunch ladies,
105
242370
1979
koji je došao od teta iz kantine,
04:16
because one woman said to me, she said,
106
244349
1879
jer jedna žena mi je rekla, rekla mi je,
04:18
"Before this day, I felt like I was
107
246228
2535
"Prije ovoga dana, osjećala sam se kao da sam
04:20
at the end of the planet at this school.
108
248763
2437
na kraju planeta u ovoj školi.
04:23
I didn't think that anyone noticed us down here."
109
251200
2375
Nisam mislila da nas itko primjećuje."
04:25
Another woman said to me,
110
253575
1867
Druga žena rekla mi je,
04:27
"You know, what I got out of this
111
255442
2548
"Znaš, to što sam dobila iz ovoga
04:29
is that what I do is important."
112
257990
2954
je da je ono što radim važno."
04:32
And of course what she does is important.
113
260944
2340
I naravno da je ono što radi važno.
04:35
What they all do is important.
114
263284
2104
Sve što čine je važno.
04:37
They're feeding our children every single day,
115
265388
3389
Hrane našu djecu svakoga dana,
04:40
and before a child can learn,
116
268777
2459
i prije nego dijete može učiti,
04:43
their belly needs to be full,
117
271236
2530
trbuh im mora biti pun,
04:45
and these women and men
118
273766
1778
i ove žene i muškarci
04:47
are working on the front lines to create
119
275544
1923
rade na prvoj crti kako bi stvorili
04:49
an educated society.
120
277467
2203
educirano društvo.
04:51
So I hope that
121
279670
2770
Nadam se da
04:54
you don't wait for School Lunch Hero Day
122
282440
1901
nećete čekati Dan Heroja Školskog Ručka
04:56
to say thank you to your lunch staff,
123
284341
2035
da bi rekli hvala vašem
osoblju koje se brine za ručak,
osoblju koje se brine za ručak,
04:58
and I hope that you remember
124
286376
2048
i nadam se da ćete upamtiti
05:00
how powerful a thank you can be.
125
288424
2846
kako snažno može biti hvala.
05:03
A thank you can change a life.
126
291270
1995
Hvala može promijeniti život.
05:05
It changes the life of the person who receives it,
127
293265
3202
Mijenja život osobe koja ga prima,
05:08
and it changes the life of the person
128
296467
2284
i mijenja život osobe
05:10
who expresses it.
129
298751
1626
koja ga izražava.
05:12
Thank you.
130
300377
2356
Hvala vam.
