Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí an saol deacair do Aoife sa samhradh seo.
En: Life was difficult for Aoife this summer.
Ga: Bhí sí ag obair i n-oifig chorparáideach mór le dul chun cinn ina gairm.
En: She was working in a large corporate office to advance in her career.
Ga: Ach freisin, bhí sí ag déanamh staidéar do MBA sa choláiste.
En: But also, she was studying for an MBA at college.
Ga: Bhí an teas lasmuigh dian, ach i gcroí Aoife, bhí rudaí níos lintithí.
En: The heat outside was intense, but in Aoife's heart, things were more tumultuous.
Ga: Bhí na soilse fluaraiseacha ag scaipeadh ar fud na hoifige, ag tabhairt le fios simplíocht an radhairc.
En: The fluorescent lights were scattered throughout the office, suggesting the simplicity of the setting.
Ga: Ach i gceann Aoife, bhí a smaointe níos casta ná mar a bhí an suíomh simplí sin.
En: But in Aoife's head, her thoughts were more complex than that simple environment.
Ga: Bhí an bord plaisteach roimpi lán de pháipéir agus ríomhaire a bhí ag tabhairt aire do r-phoist gan stad.
En: The plastic desk before her was full of papers and a computer that was tirelessly attending to emails.
Ga: Bhí Ronan ann freisin, ag obair go cúramach ag a dheasc féin.
En: Ronan was there too, working carefully at his own desk.
Ga: Bhí sé comhghleacaí maith, agus cé go gcuireann sé isteach uirthi uaireanta lena scíth agus a shuaimhneas, bhí rud éigin áisiúil faoina pháirt tacaíochta.
En: He was a good colleague, and although he sometimes annoyed her with his unworried demeanor, there was something valuable about his supportive role.
Ga: Bhí fhios ag Aoife go raibh sé sásta cabhrú léi, ach bhí sí fós neirbhíseach an iomarca oibre a chur air.
En: Aoife knew he was willing to help her, but she was still anxious about putting too much work on him.
Ga: Tháinig am lóin, agus shuigh Aoife agus Ronan ag an mbord bricfeasta beag sa chúinne.
En: Lunchtime came, and Aoife and Ronan sat at the small breakfast table in the corner.
Ga: "Tá an scoil ag tosú i gceann seachtain," a dúirt Aoife, ag teacht chuici féin le deacracht.
En: "School starts in a week," Aoife said, struggling to regain composure.
Ga: "Caithfidh mé ullmhú don scrúdú.
En: "I need to prepare for the exam."
Ga: ""Tá fhios agam," arsa Ronan go ciúin.
En: "I know," responded Ronan quietly.
Ga: "Tochfaidh mé uaim leat.
En: "I'll cover for you.
Ga: Déanfaidh mé obair tionlacain duit, ionas gur féidir leatsa díriú ar rud amháin ag an am.
En: I'll do the accompanying work so you can focus on one thing at a time."
Ga: "Ach bhí eagla ar Aoife.
En: But Aoife was afraid.
Ga: Níor theastaigh uaithi go dtiocfadh earráidí ar an obair.
En: She didn't want mistakes to arise in the work.
Ga: Níor theastaigh uaithi go mbraitheann sí neamhéifeachtúil.
En: She didn’t want to feel ineffective.
Ga: Ach laistigh di, bhí neart ag cur brú uirthi.
En: Yet inside her, there was a force applying pressure.
Ga: Bhí an cinneadh mar ualach ar a guaillí.
En: The decision weighed heavily on her shoulders.
Ga: Oíche amháin, bhí gach rud ag teacht chun críche.
En: One night, everything was coming to a head.
Ga: Bí deadline comh tábhachtach aimsithe aici ar maidin, agus scrúdú ollmhór an lá dár gcionn.
En: She had identified an important deadline for morning, and a huge exam the following day.
Ga: D'éirigh na páipéir roimpi níos airde.
En: The papers before her were piling higher.
Ga: An sin chonacthas litir eile ag teacht ina treo – tionscadal nua óna mbainisteoir.
En: Then another letter appeared coming her way—a new project from her manager.
Ga: Bhí deora ag teacht sna súile Aoife.
En: Tears were forming in Aoife's eyes.
Ga: "Táim anseo," dúirt Ronan, ag cur a lámh ar a ghualainn go héadrom.
En: "I'm here," said Ronan, placing his hand gently on her shoulder.
Ga: "Inis dom cad is féidir liom a dhéanamh.
En: "Tell me what I can do."
Ga: "Bhí staonadh Aoife caite anois.
En: Aoife's resistance was now gone.
Ga: D’aithin sí nárbh é an obair a bhí sí ag tabhairt suas, ach teanntás a chuidiú le clisteocht.
En: She recognized that it wasn't the work she was giving up, but a struggle aided by intelligence.
Ga: Thug sí freagra dó le gáire beagán buartha, "Ceart go leor, taispeánfaidh mé duit conas tosú.
En: She replied to him with a slightly worried smile, "Alright, I'll show you how to start."
Ga: "Le cabhair Ronain, bhí áitiú Aoife níos fearr.
En: With Ronan's help, Aoife was in a better position.
Ga: Bhí sí in ann díriú ar na staidéir, agus nuair a tháinig an scrúdú, bhí sí réidh.
En: She was able to focus on her studies, and when the exam came, she was ready.
Ga: Ná raibh sí féin maith ann, ach fós bhí sí sásta.
En: She might not have been perfect, but she was content.
Ga: Bhí sí tar éis foghlaim an tábhacht atá le hiontaoibh agus obair fhoireann.
En: She had learned the importance of trust and teamwork.
Ga: Nuair a tháinig tuairisc a hoibre, thug bainisteoir moladh di as an obair iontach, agus sin an nóiméad a thuig Aoife go mbeadh sí in ann a bheith rathúil ar an dá réimse i dteannta chéile.
En: When her work report came, her manager praised her for the excellent work, and that was the moment Aoife realized she could succeed in both areas together.
Ga: Bhí an samhradh críochnaithe, ach d'fhág sé ceacht ríthábhachtach ina dhiaidh, ceann a raibh curtha i seilbh ar Aoife go deo.
En: The summer was over, but it left an essential lesson behind, one that was embedded in Aoife forever.
