Dečiji pisac Džeret Krozoska priča o poreklu serijala grafičkih romana Školska Kuvarica, u kojoj tajni školski heroji služe ručak... i pravdu! Njegov novi projekat, Herojski dan Školske kuvarice, otkriva kako osoblje u kantini pruža više od hrane, i ilustruje koliko moćno može da bude jedno "hvala".

When my first children's book was published

Kada je moja prva knjiga za decu
objavljena 2001. godine,
objavljena 2001. godine,
00:14
in 2001,
1
2570
1723
vratio sam se u moju staru osnovnu školu
00:16
I returned to my old elementary school
2
4293
2213
00:18
to talk to the students about being an author
3
6506
1940
da pričam sa učenicima o tome
kako je biti pisac i ilustrator,
kako je biti pisac i ilustrator,
00:20
and an illustrator,
4
8446
1716
i dok sam postavljao projektor u kantini,
00:22
and when I was setting up my slide projector
5
10162
2733
00:24
in the cafetorium,
6
12895
3205
pogledao sam po prostoriji,
tu je bila ona:
tu je bila ona:
00:28
I looked across the room,
7
16100
2048
00:30
and there she was:
8
18148
2611
moja stara školska kuvarica.
00:32
my old lunch lady.
9
20759
1844
00:34
She was still there at the school
10
22603
1967
I dalje je bila u školi
00:36
and she was busily preparing lunches for the day.
11
24570
2886
i žurno je pripremala ručkove za taj dan.
00:39
So I approached her to say hello,
12
27456
1644
Prišao sam joj da je pozdravim,
i rekao: "Hej, Džini, kako si?"
i rekao: "Hej, Džini, kako si?"
00:41
and I said, "Hi, Jeannie! How are you?"
13
29100
1887
00:42
And she looked at me, and I could tell
14
30987
1570
Pogledala me je
i mogao sam da vidim
da me je prepoznala
da me je prepoznala
00:44
that she recognized me,
15
32557
1727
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 nije bila sigurna,
pa me je pogledala i rekla:
pa me je pogledala i rekla:
00:49
"Stephen Krosoczka?"
17
37369
2761
"Stiven Krozoska?"
I bio sam oduševljen što je znala
da sam ja Krozoska
da sam ja Krozoska
00:52
And I was amazed that she knew I was a Krosoczka,
18
40130
2142
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 Stiven 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 ona je bila njegova školska kuvarica
kad je bio dete.
kad je bio dete.
01:00
And she started telling me about her grandkids,
21
48840
2505
I počela je da mi priča o svojim unucima
01:03
and that blew my mind.
22
51345
2705
i to me je oduševilo.
01:06
My lunch lady had grandkids,
23
54050
1794
Moja školska kuvarica je imala unuke,
01:07
and therefore kids,
24
55844
964
i dakle decu,
01:08
and therefore left school at the end of the day?
25
56808
3255
i dakle odlazila iz škole na kraju dana?
Ja sam mislio da je ona
živela u kantini sa kutlačama.
živela u kantini sa kutlačama.
01:12
I thought she lived in the cafeteria
26
60063
1743
01:13
with the serving spoons.
27
61806
873
01:14
I had never thought about any of that before.
28
62679
1943
I nikada pre nisam razmišljao o tome.
01:16
Well, that chance encounter inspired my imagination,
29
64622
3732
E pa, taj slučajni susret
je inspirisao moju maštu,
je inspirisao moju maštu,
i napisao sam serijal
grafičkih romana "Školska Kuvarica",
grafičkih romana "Školska Kuvarica",
01:20
and I created the Lunch Lady graphic novel series,
30
68354
3551
serijal stripova o školskoj kuvarici
01:23
a series of comics about a lunch lady
31
71905
2177
01:26
who uses her fish stick nunchucks
32
74082
2598
koja koristi svoje nunčake
od ribljih fileta
od ribljih fileta
01:28
to fight off evil cyborg substitutes,
33
76680
2902
da se bori protiv svojih zamena kiborga,
01:31
a school bus monster, and mutant mathletes,
34
79582
3307
čudovišta Školskog autobusa,
matleta mutanata,
matleta mutanata,
01:34
and the end of every book,
35
82889
1467
i na kraju svake knjige,
uhvati negativca
svojom mrežom za kosu
svojom mrežom za kosu
01:36
they get the bad guy with their hairnet,
36
84356
1506
01:37
and they proclaim, "Justice is served!"
37
85862
3754
i uzvikne: "Pravda je poslužena!"
01:41
(Laughter) (Applause)
38
89616
4253
(Smeh) (Aplauz)
01:45
And it's been amazing, because the series
39
93869
2607
I ovo je bilo neverovatno jer je serijal
01:48
was so welcomed into the reading lives of children,
40
96476
2893
bio toliko prihvaćen
u čitalački život dece
u čitalački život dece
01:51
and they sent me the most amazing letters
41
99369
2239
i oni su mi slali neverovatna pisma,
01:53
and cards and artwork.
42
101608
2157
čestitke i slike.
01:55
And I would notice as I would visit schools,
43
103765
2474
I ja bih primetio kada bih posetio škole,
01:58
the lunch staff would be involved in the programming
44
106239
2554
osoblje u kuhinji
bi učestvovalo u programu
bi učestvovalo u programu
02:00
in a very meaningful way.
45
108793
2146
na veoma smislen 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 školske kuvarice
su mi rekle istu stvar:
su mi rekle istu stvar:
02:06
"Thank you for making a superhero in our likeness."
48
114780
3895
"Hvala ti što si stvorio superheroja
prema našem liku."
prema našem liku."
02:10
Because the lunch lady has not been treated
49
118675
2769
Zato što se prema
školskim kuvaricama nije odnosilo
školskim kuvaricama nije odnosilo
02:13
very kindly in popular culture over time.
50
121444
3522
veoma ljubazno u popularnoj kulturi
tokom vremena.
tokom vremena.
02:16
But it meant the most to Jeannie.
51
124966
2172
Ali to je najviše značilo Džini.
02:19
When the books were first published,
52
127138
1690
Kad su knjige prvi put objavljene,
pozvao sam je na žurku
povodom objavljivanja knjige
povodom objavljivanja knjige
02:20
I invited her to the book launch party,
53
128828
2104
02:22
and in front of everyone there,
54
130932
1811
i pred svima tamo,
svima koje je hranila tokom godina,
svima koje je hranila tokom godina,
02:24
everyone she had fed over the years,
55
132743
1297
02:26
I gave her a piece of artwork and some books.
56
134040
2940
dao sam joj jedno
umetničko delo i neke knjige.
umetničko delo i neke knjige.
02:28
And two years after this photo was taken,
57
136980
2569
I dve godine pošto je ovo slikano
02:31
she passed away,
58
139549
1811
ona je umrla i bio sam na njenom bdenju
02:33
and I attended her wake,
59
141360
1087
02:34
and nothing could have prepared
me for what I saw there,
me for what I saw there,
60
142447
2839
i ništa nije moglo da me pripremi
na ono što sam tamo video,
na ono što sam tamo video,
02:37
because next to her casket was this painting,
61
145286
3488
jer pored njenog kovčega je bila ova slika
02:40
and her husband told me it meant so much to her
62
148774
3566
i njen muž mi je rekao
da joj je mnogo značilo
da joj je mnogo značilo
02:44
that I had acknowledged her hard work,
63
152340
2418
to što sam ja odao priznanje
njenom teškom radu
njenom teškom radu
02:46
I had validated what she did.
64
154758
2866
i što sam potvrdio ono što je radila.
02:49
And that inspired me to create a day
65
157624
1892
I to me je inspirisalo da stvorim dan
02:51
where we could recreate that feeling
66
159516
2250
kada možemo da rekreiramo taj osećaj
02:53
in cafeterias across the country:
67
161766
3015
u kantinama širom zemlje:
Dan Školske kuvarice heroja,
02:56
School Lunch Hero Day, a day where kids
68
164781
1653
dan kada deca kreiraju kreativne
projekte za osoblje kantine,
projekte za osoblje kantine,
02:58
can make creative projects for their lunch staff.
69
166434
2858
i udružio sam se sa
Školskom asocijacijom za ishranu.
Školskom asocijacijom za ishranu.
03:01
And I partnered with the
School Nutrition Association,
School Nutrition Association,
70
169292
2204
03:03
and did you know that a little over 30 million kids
71
171496
3128
Da li ste znali da nešto više
od 30 miliona dece učestvuje
od 30 miliona dece učestvuje
u školskom programu
za ručak svakog dana?
za ručak svakog dana?
03:06
participate in school lunch programs every day.
72
174624
1822
03:08
That equals up to a little over five billion lunches
73
176446
3352
To znači da se
nešto više od 5 milijardi ručkova
nešto više od 5 milijardi ručkova
03:11
made every school year.
74
179798
1507
napravi svake godine.
03:13
And the stories of heroism go well beyond
75
181305
2386
I priče o heroizmu idu daleko dalje
03:15
just a kid getting a few extra chicken nuggets
76
183691
1987
od toga da dete dobije nekoliko
pilećih fileta na svojoj tacni.
pilećih fileta na svojoj tacni.
03:17
on their lunch tray.
77
185678
1165
03:18
There is Ms. Brenda in California,
78
186843
1709
Tu je gđa. Brenda iz Kalifornije,
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 pomno prati svakog
đaka koji prođe pored nje
đaka koji prođe pored nje
03:23
and then reports back to the guidance counselor
80
191341
2485
i obaveštava školskog psihologa
03:25
if anything is amiss.
81
193826
1350
ako nešto nije u redu.
Tu su školske kuvarice iz Kentakija
03:27
There are the lunch ladies in Kentucky
82
195176
1424
03:28
who realized that 67 percent of their students
83
196600
2635
koje su primetile da se 67% đaka
oslanjalo na te obroke svakog dana
oslanjalo na te obroke svakog dana
03:31
relied on those meals every day,
84
199235
1973
03:33
and they were going without food over the summer,
85
201208
2116
i da oni nisu imali hrane tokom leta
03:35
so they retrofitted a school bus
86
203324
2024
pa su one preuredile školski autobus
03:37
to create a mobile feeding unit,
87
205348
1752
u mobilnu jedinicu za obroke,
03:39
and they traveled around the neighborhoods
88
207100
1235
i obilazile su susedstva,
03:40
feedings 500 kids a day during the summer.
89
208335
2799
hraneći 500 dece svakog dana tokom leta.
03:43
And kids made the most amazing projects.
90
211134
2595
I deca su napravila neverovatne projekte.
03:45
I knew they would.
91
213729
1050
Znao sam da hoće.
03:46
Kids made hamburger cards
92
214779
1612
Deca su pravila čestitke
hamburgere od hamera u boji.
hamburgere od hamera u boji.
03:48
that were made out of construction paper.
93
216391
1994
03:50
They took photos of their lunch lady's head
94
218385
1901
Lepili su slike likova školskih kuvarica
03:52
and plastered it onto my cartoon lunch lady
95
220286
1808
na moj crtež školske kuvarice
03:54
and fixed that to a milk carton
96
222094
1793
i to stavljali na pakovanje od mleka
03:55
and presented them with flowers.
97
223887
2486
i zatim im ih poklanjali sa cvećem.
03:58
And they made their own comics,
98
226373
2003
I pravili su svoje stripove
04:00
starring the cartoon lunch lady
99
228376
1361
sa mojom školskom kuvaricom
04:01
alongside their actual lunch ladies.
100
229737
2223
uz koju su bile njihove školske kuvarice.
04:03
And they made thank you pizzas,
101
231960
1936
I pravili su pice zahvalnosti,
04:05
where every kid signed a different topping
102
233896
1915
gde je svako dete potpisivalo
drugi prilog
drugi prilog
04:07
of a construction paper pizza.
103
235811
2959
koji je bio deo konstrukcije pice.
04:10
For me, I was so moved by the response
104
238770
3600
Ja sam bio ganut odzivom
04:14
that came from the lunch ladies,
105
242370
1979
koji je došao od školskih kuvarica
04:16
because one woman said to me, she said,
106
244349
1879
jer mi je jedna od njih rekla:
04:18
"Before this day, I felt like I was
107
246228
2535
"Pre ovog dana, osećala sam se
04:20
at the end of the planet at this school.
108
248763
2437
kao da sam na kraju sveta u ovoj školi.
04:23
I didn't think that anyone noticed us down here."
109
251200
2375
Mislila sam da nas niko
nije primećivao ovde dole."
nije primećivao ovde dole."
04:25
Another woman said to me,
110
253575
1867
Druga žena mi je rekla:
04:27
"You know, what I got out of this
111
255442
2548
"Znaš, iz ovoga sam shvatila
04:29
is that what I do is important."
112
257990
2954
da je ovo što ja radim važno."
04:32
And of course what she does is important.
113
260944
2340
I naravno da je to što ona radi važno.
04:35
What they all do is important.
114
263284
2104
Sve što one rade je važno.
04:37
They're feeding our children every single day,
115
265388
3389
One hrane našu decu svakog dana,
04:40
and before a child can learn,
116
268777
2459
i pre nego što deca mogu da uče,
04:43
their belly needs to be full,
117
271236
2530
njihov stomak treba da bude 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 prvim linijama u kreiranju
04:49
an educated society.
120
277467
2203
obrazovanog društva.
04:51
So I hope that
121
279670
2770
Tako da se nadam da ne čekate
04:54
you don't wait for School Lunch Hero Day
122
282440
1901
na Dan Školske kuvarice heroja
04:56
to say thank you to your lunch staff,
123
284341
2035
da kažete hvala vašem osoblju u kuhinji,
04:58
and I hope that you remember
124
286376
2048
i nadam se da ćete se setiti
05:00
how powerful a thank you can be.
125
288424
2846
koliko moćno jedno "hvala" može biti.
05:03
A thank you can change a life.
126
291270
1995
Jedno "hvala" može promeniti život.
05:05
It changes the life of the person who receives it,
127
293265
3202
Ono menja život osobe koja ga prima,
05:08
and it changes the life of the person
128
296467
2284
i menja život osobe
05:10
who expresses it.
129
298751
1626
koja ga daje.
05:12
Thank you.
130
300377
2356
Hvala.
