Ukuba akukho kwanto uyaziyo ngoSvetlana Chmakova's Unzima , yazi oku: kufuneka ibekhona kwiishelufa zazo zonke izikolo kunye nelayibrari yoluntu. Isenokuvakala njengesiqhushumbisi, kodwa Unzima Ufanelwe yindumiso ephezulu. Enye yezona zifundo ezihle kakhulu endinayo-i-comic okanye enye-kwiminyaka.
Isikolo esiphakathi uPenelope (Peppi) Torres intsha edolophini. Oko kunzima ngokwaneleyo kwaye kukodwa, kodwa ngelishwa kuye, ngokuqinisekileyo uyimpazamo kusuku lokuqala kwisikolo sakhe esitsha. Ayikhubeki nje embindini wepaseji kwaye isasaze yonke impahla yayo, kodwa iyaphuma iphantsi koxinzelelo lwabantu abadlulayo kwaye ityhalele uJaime Thompson, i-nerd engathandekiyo eyekayo ukumnceda athathe iincwadi zakhe. Uyazisola kwangoko, kodwa uneentloni zokucela uxolo. Ngalo lonke ixesha ezama ukwenza amandla okuthetha noJaime, woyiswa kukungazithembi.
Iiveki kamva, uPeppi ufumene isangqa sabahlobo ngokujoyina iklabhu yobugcisa-nangona ebengekabinako ukuxolisa kuJaime. Ukwenza izinto zibe nzima ngakumbi, uJaime ulilungu leklabhu yesayensi, iklabhu yobugcisa ekhuphisana nayo. Ngoku uzokucela uxolo njani?

UChmakova ubeka ibali lakhe lesikolo esiphakathi ngokuhlekisa, ubabalo, kunye nokuqonda okubonakalayo kwendlela, enyanisweni, yokunxibelelana phakathi kwabantu inokuba, ngakumbi abantwana abaneentloni. (Ayikuko ukuba mna * ndikhohlela * ngokobuqu ndizichonge kuloo nto kwaphela. Um.) Kwicala lokudibanisa oko, uChmakova ukwabonisa ukuba ubuhlobo buba mnandi kangakanani, bunomvuzo kwaye buyanelisa xa busakhelwe ekunyanisekeni nasekuthembeni. Ukhokela umfundi njengoko uPeppi efikelela kwabanye kwaye ethatha umngcipheko kwindlela eya kubuhlobo. Ngaba uyazenza iimpazamo? Kunjalo! Kodwa uPeppi ufunda ukuthatha uxanduva ngeempazamo zakhe, kwaye bobabini bamkele kwaye baxolelwe.
Unzima ayilo bali likaPeppi kuphela, ikwalibali labafundi kunye nootitshala abamngqongileyo. Ngaphandle nje kwezinto ezimbalwa (abaxhaphazi), bonke bangabantu abasebenza ngokupheleleyo abaneempawu zabo, iimpazamo, izizathu kunye neenjongo zabo. Abafundi bezobugcisa kunye neeklabhu zenzululwazi bahlala beziphatha ngokophawu nokuba ngaba bangaphambili okanye bangasemva kwepaneli. Kwaye uyazi ntoni? Zonke zizimeleyo!

Ngaphandle kokufanisa-okanye ngokoqobo, malunga naloo nto-ukuxhoma itolo elikhulu eliqhayisayo, uChmakova usinike iqela labafundi, ootitshala nabazali abahlukeneyo. Ukusuka kwizinwele ukuya kwibala lesikhumba ukuya kwinqanaba lokukhubazeka kunye nempahla, abalinganiswa bahlukile kwaye bahlukile kubantu. Kungenxa yokuba, uyazi, abantu bahlukile kwaye bahlukahlukene, kwaye lixesha elidlulileyo lehlaya ukubonisa loo nto. Ngethamsanqa, bayaqala, kodwa akuqhelekanga kangako ukuba bayigqithise ngokungummangaliso.
Unzima ikwayinto ebaluleke kakhulu-eyonyani ibonisa ukuba kubaluleke kangakanani ukwazi abantu abanomdla nezimvo ezahlukileyo kwezethu. U-Peppi uyishwankathela kakuhle kwangoko kwincwadi xa esithi,… ingxaki yokuba nabahlobo kuphela kwisangqa sakho somdla kukuba, ngaphandle kwesangqa? Wena ngokwakho UChmakova uqhubeka nokubonisa indlela uPeppi azive ngayo ngaphandle kweklasi kwiklasi yezibalo, iklasi yomculo, kunye nokuzivocavoca. Lo mxholo uyaqhubeka kuyo yonke le ncwadi, njengoko iklabhu yezobugcisa kunye neklabhu yesayensi iqandana ngeendlela eziya zisanda ekugqibeleni ezigcina zombini ezi klabhu zisengxakini. Endaweni yokujonga isohlwayo, nangona kunjalo, uPeppi ugxile ekuvaleni umsantsa obonakala ngathi awunakoyiswa phakathi kweeklabhu. Kuyakhuthaza, kwaye kuya kukunika zonke iimvakalelo. (Amaxesha amaninzi aww!)
Kukho enye into malunga nobunzulu babalinganiswa bakaChmakova, emva koko ndiza kuqhubeka. Ngaphandle kokungena kubaphangi, kufuneka ndibonise ukuba abafundi baseBergbrook Middle School abakho kuphela ngaphakathi kwebhola yesikolo. Siyabazi ubomi basekhaya babafundi, kwaye siyabona ngokucacileyo ukuba isenzo sabazali siyichaphazela njani indlela yokuziphatha kwabafundi. Ndiyathetha, sonke siyachaphazeleka bubomi basekhaya, kodwa ndiyayiqonda indlela ecace gca nangemfesane ngayo uChmakova odonsa olu nxibelelwano. Uyilele zombini ingxelo efudumeleyo yenkxaso kunye nokuqonda kwabo bafundi kufuneka bajongane neemeko ezibi ekhaya, kunye nesikhumbuzo kubazali ukuba iingxelo kunye nezenzo zabo kubantwana babo zineziphumo ezibi.

Ayisiyiyo kuphela iChmakova ukufumana amanqaku aphezulu kumxholo, kodwa Unzima yenziwa kakuhle. Isimbo sakhe sobugcisa kunye nesimbo siyathandeka, sivulekile, kwaye sigqithisiwe ngokulula. Iiphaneli zimiselwe ngokulula nangokulandelelana, oko kuthetha ukuba ikwafikeleleka kakhulu kubafundi abatsha beekhomikhi. Ungakuvumeli oku kukukhohlise ngokucinga ukuba kulula kakhulu, nangona kunjalo; eneneni inzima kakhulu. Njengoko benditshilo apha ngasentla, uninzi lwengqwalaselo luhlawulwa kwiinkcukacha zangasemva, kubandakanya nezinto ezenziwa ngabalinganiswa abaxhasayo okanye abaphendulayo. Incoko inobuqili — ndihleke ngokuvakalayo amaxesha ambalwa! -Kwaye ukuhamba ngesantya kukhulu.
Nje ukuba ukhethe Unzima , uya kuba nzima ukuyibeka phantsi. Nje ukuba uyenze, ndiyathemba ukuba uyigqithisela kubahlobo nakusapho kwaye, ngakumbi kubo bonke abantu abancinci obaziyo. Emva koko phembelela ilayibrari yakho ekufuphi ukuba uphathe ikopi yayo.
