Ketika buku cerita anak-anak saya
00:14
in 2001,
1
2570
1723
pertama kali diterbitkan pada 2001,
00:16
I returned to my old elementary school
2
4293
2213
saya mengunjungi SD saya dulu untuk
00:18
to talk to the students about being an author
3
6506
1940
berbicara pada murid-murid tentang
00:20
and an illustrator,
4
8446
1716
profesi penulis dan ilustrator,
00:22
and when I was setting up my slide projector
5
10162
2733
dan ketika saya mempersiapkan proyektor
00:24
in the cafetorium,
6
12895
3205
di aula kafetaria sekolah,
00:28
I looked across the room,
7
16100
2048
saya melihat ke seberang ruangan,
00:30
and there she was:
8
18148
2611
dan dia ada disana:
00:32
my old lunch lady.
9
20759
1844
ibu kantin saya dulu.
00:34
She was still there at the school
10
22603
1967
Dia masih bekerja di sana
00:36
and she was busily preparing lunches for the day.
11
24570
2886
dan dia sedang menyiapkan makan siang
untuk hari itu.
untuk hari itu.
00:39
So I approached her to say hello,
12
27456
1644
Saya mendekat dan menyapanya,
00:41
and I said, "Hi, Jeannie! How are you?"
13
29100
1887
Halo Jeannie! Apa kabar?
00:42
And she looked at me, and I could tell
14
30987
1570
Dia melihat saya,
00:44
that she recognized me,
15
32557
1727
saya cukup yakin dia mengenali saya
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
tapi dia tidak yakin siapa saya.
Dia menatap saya dan berkata,
Dia menatap saya dan berkata,
00:49
"Stephen Krosoczka?"
17
37369
2761
"Stephen Krosoczka?"
Saya terkejut dia tahu bahwa
saya dari keluarga Krosoczka,
saya dari keluarga Krosoczka,
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
tapi Stephen adalah paman saya
yang 20 tahun lebih tua dari saya,
yang 20 tahun lebih tua dari saya,
00:57
and she had been his lunch lady when he was a kid.
20
45703
3137
dan dia adalah ibu kantin ketika
paman saya masih kecil.
paman saya masih kecil.
01:00
And she started telling me about her grandkids,
21
48840
2505
Kemudian dia mulai bercerita
tentang cucu-cucunya,
tentang cucu-cucunya,
01:03
and that blew my mind.
22
51345
2705
saya cukup terkejut.
01:06
My lunch lady had grandkids,
23
54050
1794
Ibu kantin saya punya cucu-cucu,
01:07
and therefore kids,
24
55844
964
punya anak-anak,
01:08
and therefore left school at the end of the day?
25
56808
3255
dan karena itu dia harus pulang ketika
jam sekolah usai?
jam sekolah usai?
01:12
I thought she lived in the cafeteria
26
60063
1743
Saya kira dia tinggal di kantin
dengan sendok saji
dengan sendok saji
01:13
with the serving spoons.
27
61806
873
Saya tidak pernah menyangka sebelumnya.
01:14
I had never thought about any of that before.
28
62679
1943
01:16
Well, that chance encounter inspired my imagination,
29
64622
3732
Pertemuan itu menginspirasi saya,
01:20
and I created the Lunch Lady graphic novel series,
30
68354
3551
sehingga saya menciptakan serial komik
"Lunch Lady" [Ibu Kantin],
"Lunch Lady" [Ibu Kantin],
01:23
a series of comics about a lunch lady
31
71905
2177
serial komik tentang ibu kantin
01:26
who uses her fish stick nunchucks
32
74082
2598
yang menggunakan nunchaku ikan
01:28
to fight off evil cyborg substitutes,
33
76680
2902
untuk melawan robot jahat,
01:31
a school bus monster, and mutant mathletes,
34
79582
3307
monster bus sekolah,
ahli matematika mutan,
ahli matematika mutan,
01:34
and the end of every book,
35
82889
1467
dan di setiap akhir seri,
01:36
they get the bad guy with their hairnet,
36
84356
1506
mereka meringkus penjahat
dengan jaring sanggulnya,
dengan jaring sanggulnya,
01:37
and they proclaim, "Justice is served!"
37
85862
3754
kemudian berseru,
"Keadilan telah disajikan!"
"Keadilan telah disajikan!"
01:41
(Laughter) (Applause)
38
89616
4253
(Tertawa) (Tepuk tangan)
01:45
And it's been amazing, because the series
39
93869
2607
Dan serial ini sangat menakjubkan,
01:48
was so welcomed into the reading lives of children,
40
96476
2893
karena diterima secara luas oleh anak-anak
01:51
and they sent me the most amazing letters
41
99369
2239
dan mereka mengirimkan surat-surat,
01:53
and cards and artwork.
42
101608
2157
kartu, dan hasil karya yang hebat.
01:55
And I would notice as I would visit schools,
43
103765
2474
Ketika saya berkunjung ke sekolah,
saya mengamati
saya mengamati
01:58
the lunch staff would be involved in the programming
44
106239
2554
staf kantin terlibat dalam program
02:00
in a very meaningful way.
45
108793
2146
dalam berbagai cara yang berarti.
02:02
And coast to coast,
46
110939
1746
Di seluruh Amerika,
semua ibu-ibu kantin mengatakan
hal yang sama pada saya:
hal yang sama pada saya:
02:04
all of the lunch ladies told me the same thing:
47
112685
2095
02:06
"Thank you for making a superhero in our likeness."
48
114780
3895
"Terima kasih karena telah membuat kami
menjadi tokoh pahlawan super."
menjadi tokoh pahlawan super."
02:10
Because the lunch lady has not been treated
49
118675
2769
Ibu-ibu kantin selama ini
tidak dicerminkan
tidak dicerminkan
02:13
very kindly in popular culture over time.
50
121444
3522
dengan baik dalam karya populer.
02:16
But it meant the most to Jeannie.
51
124966
2172
Tapi serial ini sangat berarti
bagi Jeannie.
bagi Jeannie.
02:19
When the books were first published,
52
127138
1690
Ketika seri buku ini dirilis,
02:20
I invited her to the book launch party,
53
128828
2104
saya mengundangnya ke acara
peluncuran buku,
peluncuran buku,
02:22
and in front of everyone there,
54
130932
1811
dan di hadapan semua hadirin
yang dilayaninya selama bertahun-tahun,
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
saya memberikan satu karya seni
dan beberapa buku.
dan beberapa buku.
02:28
And two years after this photo was taken,
57
136980
2569
Dua tahun setelah foto ini diambil,
02:31
she passed away,
58
139549
1811
beliau meninggal dunia,
dan saya menghadiri pemakamannya,
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
dan saya tidak dapat percaya apa yang
saya lihat di sana,
saya lihat di sana,
02:37
because next to her casket was this painting,
61
145286
3488
di samping peti jenazah, ada gambar ini,
02:40
and her husband told me it meant so much to her
62
148774
3566
dan suami beliau berkata bahwa
ini sangat berarti bagi beliau
ini sangat berarti bagi beliau
02:44
that I had acknowledged her hard work,
63
152340
2418
bahwa saya mengapresiasi kerja kerasnya,
02:46
I had validated what she did.
64
154758
2866
dan mengakui yang telah beliau lakukan.
02:49
And that inspired me to create a day
65
157624
1892
Ini menginspirasi saya agar suatu saat
02:51
where we could recreate that feeling
66
159516
2250
kita bisa menghidupkan kembali
perasaan itu
perasaan itu
02:53
in cafeterias across the country:
67
161766
3015
di seluruh kantin di negara ini:
Hari Pahlawan Makan Siang
02:56
School Lunch Hero Day, a day where kids
68
164781
1653
satu hari di mana anak-anak
02:58
can make creative projects for their lunch staff.
69
166434
2858
dapat menciptakan suatu kreasi
untuk staf kantin.
untuk staf kantin.
03:01
And I partnered with the
School Nutrition Association,
School Nutrition Association,
70
169292
2204
Saya bekerjasama dengan
Asosiasi Nutrisi Sekolah
03:03
and did you know that a little over 30 million kids
71
171496
3128
dan tahukah Anda bahwa
lebih dari 30 juta anak turut serta
03:06
participate in school lunch programs every day.
72
174624
1822
dalam program ini tiap hari.
03:08
That equals up to a little over five billion lunches
73
176446
3352
Ini setara dengan 5 milyar
makan siang yang disajikan
03:11
made every school year.
74
179798
1507
tiap tahunnya.
03:13
And the stories of heroism go well beyond
75
181305
2386
Kisah kepahlawanan ini lebih dari sekedar
03:15
just a kid getting a few extra chicken nuggets
76
183691
1987
potongan ayam ekstra yang didapat anak
03:17
on their lunch tray.
77
185678
1165
di makan siang mereka.
03:18
There is Ms. Brenda in California,
78
186843
1709
Ini Ibu Brenda di California,
03:20
who keeps a close eye on every
student that comes through her line
student that comes through her line
79
188552
2789
yang selalu memperhatikan setiap siswa
yang mengantre
yang mengantre
03:23
and then reports back to the guidance counselor
80
191341
2485
dan melapor pada guru BK jika
03:25
if anything is amiss.
81
193826
1350
ada yang tidak datang.
03:27
There are the lunch ladies in Kentucky
82
195176
1424
Ibu kantin di Kentucky
03:28
who realized that 67 percent of their students
83
196600
2635
mencatat 67% siswanya bergantung pada
03:31
relied on those meals every day,
84
199235
1973
makanan yang mereka sajikan tiap hari,
03:33
and they were going without food over the summer,
85
201208
2116
dan mereka tidak makan selama musim panas
03:35
so they retrofitted a school bus
86
203324
2024
jadi mereka merombak bus sekolah
03:37
to create a mobile feeding unit,
87
205348
1752
untuk membuat semacam kedai makanan,
03:39
and they traveled around the neighborhoods
88
207100
1235
keliling di area sekitar
03:40
feedings 500 kids a day during the summer.
89
208335
2799
memberi makan 500 anak
tiap hari selama musim panas
tiap hari selama musim panas
03:43
And kids made the most amazing projects.
90
211134
2595
Anak-anak membuat karya-karya luar biasa.
03:45
I knew they would.
91
213729
1050
Saya tahu itu.
03:46
Kids made hamburger cards
92
214779
1612
Anak-anak membuat
kartu hamburger
03:48
that were made out of construction paper.
93
216391
1994
dari kertas warna-warni.
03:50
They took photos of their lunch lady's head
94
218385
1901
Mereka mengambil foto wajah ibu kantin,
03:52
and plastered it onto my cartoon lunch lady
95
220286
1808
menambalnya pada kartun karakter saya
03:54
and fixed that to a milk carton
96
222094
1793
dan menempelnya pada kotak susu
03:55
and presented them with flowers.
97
223887
2486
dan mempersembahkannya dengan bunga.
03:58
And they made their own comics,
98
226373
2003
Mereka juga membuat komik sendiri,
04:00
starring the cartoon lunch lady
99
228376
1361
dengan karakter ibu kantin saya
04:01
alongside their actual lunch ladies.
100
229737
2223
bersama dengan ibu kantin mereka.
04:03
And they made thank you pizzas,
101
231960
1936
Mereka membuat pizza terima kasih,
04:05
where every kid signed a different topping
102
233896
1915
setiap anak menulis di setiap taburan
04:07
of a construction paper pizza.
103
235811
2959
dan membentuk pizza dari kertas.
04:10
For me, I was so moved by the response
104
238770
3600
Saya sangat tersentuh dengan tanggapan
04:14
that came from the lunch ladies,
105
242370
1979
dari para ibu kantin,
04:16
because one woman said to me, she said,
106
244349
1879
seorang ibu berkata pada saya,
04:18
"Before this day, I felt like I was
107
246228
2535
"Sebelum hari ini, saya merasa
04:20
at the end of the planet at this school.
108
248763
2437
berada di planet asing di sekolah ini.
04:23
I didn't think that anyone noticed us down here."
109
251200
2375
Tidak ada orang yang menyadari
kehadiran kami."
kehadiran kami."
04:25
Another woman said to me,
110
253575
1867
Ada seorang ibu lain yang berkata,
04:27
"You know, what I got out of this
111
255442
2548
"Tahukah Anda, saya akhirnya menyadari
04:29
is that what I do is important."
112
257990
2954
betapa berartinya profesi saya."
04:32
And of course what she does is important.
113
260944
2340
Tentu yang ia lakukan sangat berharga
04:35
What they all do is important.
114
263284
2104
Yang mereka lakukan sangat berharga.
04:37
They're feeding our children every single day,
115
265388
3389
Mereka memberi makan anak-anak kita
setiap hari
setiap hari
04:40
and before a child can learn,
116
268777
2459
dan sebelum seorang anak dapat belajar,
04:43
their belly needs to be full,
117
271236
2530
perut mereka tidak boleh kosong,
04:45
and these women and men
118
273766
1778
dan orang-orang inilah
04:47
are working on the front lines to create
119
275544
1923
yang bekerja di garis depan untuk
04:49
an educated society.
120
277467
2203
menciptakan komunitas berpendidikan.
04:51
So I hope that
121
279670
2770
Jadi saya harap Anda tidak menunggu sampai
04:54
you don't wait for School Lunch Hero Day
122
282440
1901
"Hari Pahlawan Makan Siang"
04:56
to say thank you to your lunch staff,
123
284341
2035
untuk berterima kasih pada staf kantin,
04:58
and I hope that you remember
124
286376
2048
dan saya harap Anda selalu ingat
05:00
how powerful a thank you can be.
125
288424
2846
betapa berharganya ucapan terima kasih.
05:03
A thank you can change a life.
126
291270
1995
Ucapan terima kasih dapat mengubah hidup
05:05
It changes the life of the person who receives it,
127
293265
3202
orang-orang yang menerimanya,
05:08
and it changes the life of the person
128
296467
2284
dan mengubah hidup orang
05:10
who expresses it.
129
298751
1626
yang mengucapkannya.
05:12
Thank you.
