Detention or Eco Club: Choosing your future - Juan Martinez

Kazna ili Eko klub: Izaberite svoju budućnost - Juan Martinez

Transcriber: Andrea McDonough Reviewer: Bedirhan Cinar

This might seem like a far-away place

Možda djeluje kao prizor grada

in a far-away land.

negdje u nekoj dalekoj zemlji.

My house is right there in the middle.

Moja kuća je tamo usred toga.

This was 1992 L.A. Riots.

Bili su to neredi u LA-u 1992.

And I remember being 8 years old

Sjećam se kako sam sa 8 godina

and looking out there

posmatrao sve to

and thinking to myself,

i mislio:

"This is it, this is game over. I'm done."

„To je to. Kraj igre. Gotov sam“.

The military came in,

Došla je vojska,

the cops came in,

došla je policija,

and I thought they were going to save us,

i mislio sam da će nas spasiti,

and for some reason they kept on pointing the guns at my people.

ali oni su iz nekog razloga stalno upirali oružje na nas.

So I grew up angry,

I tako sam odrastao pun ljutnje.

I grew up mad.

Pun bijesa.

I struggled watching my parents pay rent at the end of the month.

Bilo mi je teško da gledam roditelje kako jedva sastavljaju kraj s krajem.

Sometimes they had to take food out of their mouths

Ponekad su morali odvajati od svojih usta,

so that we, my two younger sisters and I, could eat.

da bismo mi, moje dvije mlađe sestre i ja, imali šta jesti.

And the people that I saw taking care of their family

A ljudi oko mene koji su uspijevali da izdržavaju porodicu

and taking care of business were the gang members.

i odrađivali poslove bili su članovi bande.

So I considered that as a career path,

Pa sam razmišljao i o tome kao svojoj karijeri,

not because they were the ones that,

ne zato što su oni,

you know, had the girls, had the cars,

znate, imali djevojke, imali kola,

it was because they were the ones who took care of their families.

nego zato što su mogli da izdržavaju svoje porodice.

And I love my family enough to even to consider that as a possibility.

Ja volim svoju porodicu dovoljno da razmislim čak i o tome.

But it wasn't always bad.

Ali nije sve bilo loše.

If you haven't put two and two together,

Ako već niste pogodili,

I'm a Dodgers fan.

ja navijam za Dodgerse.

I like the Dodgers even more so

Dodgersi su mi još draži

because Dodgers Stadium sits in the middle of the Elysian Park,

zato što se njihov stadion nalazi usred Elysian parka,

one of the biggest parks in L.A.,

jednog od najvećih parkova u LA-u.

and I remember going out on the weekends with my family

Sjećam se kako sam provodio vikende sa porodicom

and for la carne asada and sharing our cultura

i kako smo jeli la carne asada i djelili naše običaje,

and them taking me on trails

kako su me vodili u šetnje

and showing me all this amazing stuff that they knew.

i pokazivali mi sve te divne stvari koje su poznavali.

I grew up, I went to Dorsey High School.

Odrastao sam, išao sam u srednju školu Dorsey.

You might not know Dorsey that much,

Možda vam Dorsey nije baš poznat,

but you might know Crenshaw High School.

ali ste možda čuli za srednju školu Crenshaw.

Crenshaw and Dorsey are rival high schools,

Crenshaw i Dorsey su rivalske škole,

but they are more than just rivals

ali one su i više od rivala

in the traditional sense of rival high schools,

u tradicionalnom smislu rivalskih škola,

they are the birth place of The Bloods and The Crips.

one su kolijevke Bloodsa i Cripsa.

I tako sam u 9. razredu poslat u kaznu

So I was in 9th grade detention,

and they gave me an ultimatum:

gdje su mi dali ultimatum:

They said, "Either you stay in detention,

Rekli su: „Ili ostaješ u kazni,

or you go to this thing called Eco Club."

ili ideš u ovaj Eko klub.“

And I said, "What?!? Eco Club?

A ja sam rekao: „Šta?!? Eko klub?

Forget you!"

Nema šanse!“

Ipak sam odlučio da pokušam i otišao u Eko klub.

But I took a chance and I went over to Eco Club.

And the first thing that they said was,

Prvo što su mi tamo rekli bilo je:

"Grab a bag of seeds and let's go out."

„Uzmi vreću sjemena i idemo napolje.“

And I picked jalapeños

Izabrao sam halapenjose

because I wanted to grill salsa for my mom at the end of that.

jer sam htio mami da napravim salsu na kraju.

And they tricked me!

I prešli su me!

Then all of a sudden, I started worrying about photosynthesis

Odjednom sam počeo da razmišljam o fotosintezi

and the pH balance,

i pH ravnoteži,

and the UV radiation,

i o UV zračenju

and all this different stuff that would make my jalapeños grow.

i svim tim raznim stvarima bitnim za rast mojih halapenjosa.

At the end of that semester, they gave me an opportunity

Na kraju tog semestra pružili su mi mogućnost

to go to the Teton Science Schools in Wyoming.

da idem u školu prirodnih nauka Teton u Vajomingu.

For a kid who has never been out of South Central,

Za klinca koji nikad nije izašao iz South Centrala,

to see mountains for the first time,

da vidi planine po prvi put,

to look up at the night sky and count,

da pogleda u noćno nebo i broji,

I couldn't even count, the stars.

nisam čak mogao ni izbrojati, zvijezde.

For the first time in my life at the age of 15

Prvi put u životu, u 15. godini,

I saw more stars than I could count.

vidio sam više zvijezda nego što sam mogao izbrojati.

I had to pinch myself and look at that shooting star

Morao sam se uštinuti gledajući zvijezdu padalicu

and say, "No, that's not the ghetto bird coming up at me."

i reći: „Ne, nije to geto ptica koja ide prema meni.“

And the ghetto bird, you won't find in the Audobon book,

A geto ptica, nećete to naći u enciklopediji ptica,

it's a police helicopter in case you don't know.

je policijski helikopter, ako niste znali.

And I went back home and I found mentors and friends

Vratio sam se kući, pronašao mentore i prijatelje,

and family and people who supported me in this,

porodicu i ljude koji su me podržavali u tome.

and in 2005, this guy named Richard Louv

Godine 2005, čovjek po imenu Richard Louv

napisao je knjigu pod nazivom Posljednje dijete u šumi,

wrote a book called <i>Last Child in the Woods</i>,

and he coined a phrase called "nature-deficit disorder".

i uveo izraz „poremećaj nedostatka prirode“.

It's not a medical term, don't worry,

Ne radi se o medicinskom terminu, ne brinite,

you don't have to take drugs for it,

ne morate piti lijekove za to,

it's an easy fix:

to se lako liječi:

samo trebate izaći napolje.

all you have to do is get outside.

Because we have 7 billion people in the world today,

Danas u svijetu ima 7 milijardi ljudi,

but if you were to put all those 7 billion people

ali ako poredate svih tih 7 milijardi ljudi

shoulder-to-shoulder with each other,

rame uz rame jedno do drugog,

they could all fit in the city of L.A.

svi bi mogli stati na područje LA-a.

It's not necessarily that we are running out of space,

Ne radi se nužno o tome da nam ponestaje prostora,

it's how we are using that space up.

već kako koristimo taj prostor.

The average U.S. teenager now spends

Prosječni tinejdžer u SAD-u danas provodi

somewhere between 40 and 65 hours a week

negdje između 40 i 65 sati sedmično

connected to some type of media device,

konektovan na neku vrstu uređaja,

some kind of technology.

neku tehnologiju.

That's a full-time job!

To je puno radno vrijeme!

We're not saying that its bad,

Ne kažemo da je to loše,

we're just saying get out, have fun!

samo kažemo izađite, zabavite se!

And I got together with some friends

Udružio sam se sa par prijatelja

and we created this thing called the "Natural Leaders Network".

i osnovali smo organizaciju "Natural Leaders Network".

Zanimalo nas je

And we wanted to find out

how other people are getting outside all over the world.

kako drugi ljudi u svijetu provode vrijeme napolju.

We thought it was just us here in the U.S.,

Mislili smo da je to samo ovdje u SAD-u,

but no, no, it's all over the world.

ali ne, ne, tako je u cijelom svijetu.

And we started getting amazing things back:

Počeli smo da dobijamo nevjerovatne odgovore:

the beaches,

plaže,

the mountains,

planine,

in the middle of the city,

u sred grada,

how people got out,

kako ljudi provode vrijeme napolju,

just the pure joy of celebrating our connection with nature.

jednostavno čista radost slavljenja povezanosti sa prirodom.

And it all started with that one group.

I tako je sve počelo sa tom jednom grupom.

I want to give you this new motivation

Želim da vam dam novu motivaciju

about a new nature movement,

za novi pokret ljubitelja prirode

i 7 razloga za novi pokret ljubitelja prirode.

and 7 reasons for a new nature movement.

You can create your own reasons,

Vi možete osmisliti i svoje razloge,

but these are 7 reasons that we're talking about.

ali ovo je 7 razloga o kojima mi govorimo.

I'm going to speed up a little bit because of time.

Malo ću ubrzati zbog vremena.

But, take it from these kids, let's go get outside!

Ali ova djeca su rekla sve, izađimo napolje!

Last year I got to climb the grand Teton.

Prošle godine sam se uspeo na Grand Teton.

I went from being that kid from South Central

Ja sam od klinca iz South Centrala postao neko

realizing that somehow I was connected to those mountains,

ko shvata da je na neki način povezan sa tim planinama,

that my community in South Central L.A. was connected to the mountains up there.

da je moja zajednica u južnom centralnom LA-u povezana sa tim planinama gore.

And it all made sense,

I sve je imalo smisla,

the world made sense to me.

svijet je imao smisla.

Science, and math, and history, and English,

Prirodne nauke, matematika, istorija, engleski,

and all the different things that were happening in this world

sve te razne stvari koje su se dešavale na ovom svijetu

made sense to me because of that.

imale su smisla zbog toga.

I went out to be the first one to graduate from my family in high school.

Postao sam prvi u porodici koji je završio srednju školu.

I'm the first one.

I'm a National Geographic Explorer today.

Ja sam prvi.

Danas sam istraživač Nacionalne geografije.

Držim ove divne govore,

I do these amazing talks,

and I'm not telling you these things so I can brag about it,

ne govorim vam sve ovo da bih se hvalio

or that I can show off,

ili pravio važan,

I'm telling you these things because if a kid from South Central

Govorim vam to zato što, ako može klinac iz South Centrala,

who was about to be a gang member

koji je trebao da postane član bande,

can grow up to be a National Geographic Explorer

postati istraživač Nacionalne geografije

and sit here in front of you and address you like I am today,

i biti ovdje pred vama i obraćati vam se kao ja danas,

then don't ever, ever in your life doubt what you can do.

onda nemojte nikada, nikada, u životu sumnjati da možete nešto ostvariti.

At the end of the day, I do what I do because of my family.

Na kraju krajeva, sve ovo radim zbog svoje porodice.

My family means the world to me

Porodica mi je sve na svijetu

and from this day forward,

i od danas

each one of you in this room is part of that family.

svi vi koji ste ovdje ste dio te porodice.

I want you go to away with that

Želim da to znate

and I'll leave it with this one quote,

i završiću sa jednim citatom

which has driven me to this point:

koji me je vodio na putu dovdje:

"Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed.

„Jednom kada društvena promjena započne nema vraćanja unazad.

You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read.

Ne možete oduzeti znanje nekome ko je naučio čitati.

You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride.

Ne možete ponižavati nekoga ko osjeća ponos.

You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.

Ne možete ugnjetavati ljude koji se više ne boje.

We have seen the future, and the future is ours."

Vidjeli smo budućnost i ona pripada nama.“

It's your future, it's our future,

To je vaša budućnost, naša budućnost,

so go get 'em!

samo naprijed!
