I'm 16 years old, and my name is Shahruz Ghaemi.

Imam 16 godina i zovem se Šaruz Gajemi.

My father came from Iran,

Moj otac je iz Irana,

and my mother came from China.

a moja majka je iz Kine.

I speak some Chinese,

Pričam pomalo kineskog,

I understand some Farsi,

razumem ponešto persijskog,

and, recently, I've started to study Spanish.

i skoro sam počeo da učim španski.

I attend one of the most competitive schools in the city,

Pohađam jednu od najviše takmičarski nastrojenih škola u gradu,

if not the country.

ako ne i u zemlji.

The educational system is validly criticized

Obrazovni sistem se s razlogom kritikuje

as being broken and dysfunctional.

kao pokvaren i nefunkcionalan.

The primary goal should be,

Primarni cilj treba da bude

like the internet,

kao internet,

as a great leveler.

ono što izjednačava.

It ought to be able to provide everybody

Trebalo bi svima u Americi

in America with opportunity,

da da priliku,

but an administrative culture that focuses on

ali administrativna kultura koja se fokusira

standardized testing does us no good at all

na standardne testove nam ne ide u korist

because there is a difference

jer postoji razlika

between knowledge and understanding.

između znanja i razumevanja.

My jazz piano teacher has really shown me

Moj učitelj džez klavira mi je zaista pokazao

new ways of thinking about learning.

nove načine razmišljanja o učenju.

Jazz really required me

Džez je od mene zaista zahtevao

to use a different set of skills

da koristim drugačije veštine

than I'd been using for classical piano

za razliku od klasičnog klavira

because I had to infuse music with my own touches.

jer je trebalo da u muziku ubacim nešto svoje.

It's one thing to regurgitate

Jedna stvar je ponoviti

a fancy maneuver you've learned,

prefinjen pokret koji si naučio,

but it's another thing to be able to improvise

ali je sasvim drugo znati da improvizuješ

a harmonically stable piece by yourself.

harmonički stabilan komad.

And, if you truly understand something,

I ako zaista razumeš nešto,

it's far more important to you,

to ti je dosta važnije,

it's more likely to be retained,

verovatnije je da će se zadržati,

it's far more likely to have some sort of meaning to you.

da će ti nešto značiti.
