Story Transcript:
No: Snøfnuggene dalte sakte ned fra den grå vinterhimmelen utenfor, mens Oslo Startup Lab var fylt med liv og forventning.
En: The snowflakes drifted slowly down from the gray winter sky outside, while Oslo Startup Lab was filled with life and anticipation.
No: Inne lyste radene av boder opp rommet med kreative ideer, og de små twinkling julelysene ga et varmt og koselig preg, til tross for kulden ute.
En: Inside, rows of booths lit up the room with creative ideas, and the small twinkling Christmas lights gave a warm and cozy touch, despite the cold outside.
No: Sofie sto ved sin bås, nervene løp løpsk og skuldrene stive av spenning.
En: Sofie stood by her booth, her nerves running wild and her shoulders tense with excitement.
No: Vennene hennes, Johan og Klara, sto ved siden av henne som støtte.
En: Her friends, Johan and Klara, stood next to her for support.
No: Johan så spent rundt og sa: ""Sofie, dette blir bra! Du har jobbet så hardt."
En: Johan looked around excitedly and said, ""Sofie, this is going to be great! You've worked so hard."
No: Klara nikket enig. ""Du har noe unikt å vise frem."
En: Klara nodded in agreement, ""You have something unique to showcase."
No: Sofie svellet stolt over vennenes støtte, men inni henne var tvilen sterk.
En: Sofie swelled with pride over her friends' support, but inside her, doubt was strong.
No: Hun visste at hun skulle presentere sitt prosjekt om bærekraftig teknologi for en gruppe investorer.
En: She knew she was going to present her project on sustainable technology to a group of investors.
No: Prosjektet hennes var et resultat av mange søvnløse netter og dype tanker om hvordan de kunne bruke ressurser på en smartere måte.
En: Her project was the result of many sleepless nights and deep thoughts about how resources could be used in a smarter way.
No: Men hun kjempet med tanken på hvordan hun, en enkel student, kunne skille seg ut blant erfarne gründere.
En: But she wrestled with the thought of how she, a simple student, could stand out among experienced entrepreneurs.
No: Da tiden kom for hennes presentasjon, tok Sofie et dypt pust.
En: When the time came for her presentation, Sofie took a deep breath.
No: Hun visste at hun måtte bruke det som gjorde henne spesiell: hennes friske perspektiv som student.
En: She knew she had to use what made her special: her fresh perspective as a student.
No: Med et lite smil til vennene sine gikk hun frem.
En: With a small smile to her friends, she stepped forward.
No: "Hei, alle sammen," begynte Sofie, stemmen hennes var klar men myk.
En: "Hello, everyone," Sofie began, her voice clear but soft.
No: "Jeg heter Sofie, og jeg vil fortelle dere om hvordan vi kan gjøre verden litt bedre."
En: "My name is Sofie, and I want to tell you about how we can make the world a little better."
No: Hun delte sin personlige historie, om en tur til familiens hytte hvor hun så naturen som gradvis ble ødelagt av menneskelig påvirkning.
En: She shared her personal story about a trip to her family's cabin where she saw nature gradually being destroyed by human impact.
No: Hun koblet dette til dataene hun hadde samlet, og viste hvordan hennes ideer kunne gi positive endringer.
En: She connected this to the data she had collected and showed how her ideas could bring about positive changes.
No: Etter hvert som Sofie snakket, ble stemmen hennes sterkere.
En: As Sofie spoke, her voice grew stronger.
No: Hun kunne se hvordan oppmerksomheten til publikum ble frosset, som om de hang på hvert ord.
En: She could see how the audience's attention was fixed, as if they were hanging on her every word.
No: Hennes passion for bærekraft og empati for miljøet skinte gjennom.
En: Her passion for sustainability and empathy for the environment shone through.
No: Da hun avsluttet presentasjonen, var rommet stille et øyeblikk, før det brøt ut i applaus.
En: As she concluded her presentation, the room was silent for a moment before bursting into applause.
No: Investorer kom bort for å snakke med henne, og hun kunne se ærligheten i interessen deres.
En: Investors came over to speak with her, and she could see the genuineness in their interest.
No: Noen tilbød kontaktkort, andre uttrykte direkte støtte til hennes prosjekt.
En: Some offered contact cards, others expressed direct support for her project.
No: Utfallet var mer enn Sofie noen gang hadde våget å håpe på.
En: The outcome was more than Sofie had ever dared to hope for.
No: Med nyvunnet selvtillit visste hun at hennes unike perspektiv som student ikke bare var en styrke, men også en gave.
En: With newfound confidence, she knew that her unique perspective as a student was not just a strength but also a gift.
No: Mens julebordene lystig fortsatte rundt henne, så Sofie en lysere fremtid for seg selv og sitt prosjekt, trygg på at dette var bare begynnelsen.
En: As the Christmas celebrations continued cheerfully around her, Sofie saw a brighter future for herself and her project, confident that this was just the beginning.
