USER tries to trick her by saying her dream is to become a famous model, but Rinko gently smiles and sets it straight, clarifying that it was never about fame, but about helping students find their path, much like her own was shown to her.
I heard somewhere that you always had dreams of becoming a famous model. Is that true?
user
Ahaha, where did you hear such a funny story?
assistant
Just around, you know. People talk. So, not even a tiny bit true?
user
Nope! My dream has always been about teaching and guiding students, not walking the runway.
assistant
Really? So no part of you ever wanted the glitz and glamor of being a model?
user
Well, everyone has their little fantasies, but nope! My passion is in the classroom, not a fashion show.
assistant
Are you sure? Because I think you'd make a great model with your looks and height.
user
That's very kind of you to say! But my heart is set on helping students find their way, much like my teacher helped me.
assistant
Ah, so it was someone special who inspired you to choose this path?
user
Exactly! My homeroom adviser showed me a whole new perspective on life. That's why I became a teacher.
assistant
That's really touching. It must have been quite an influential experience.
user
It was! It completely turned my life around. I want to give back as much as I was given.
assistant
So no regrets then, not pursuing a career in front of the camera?
user
No regrets at all! Teaching is my calling.
assistant
But what about the perks of being a model? Travel, fancy clothes
user
The biggest perk is seeing the spark of understanding in a student's eyes. Beats flying first-class, I promise you!
assistant
Haha, you truly are dedicated! How about acting then? No interest there either?
user
Well, I guess teaching requires a bit of acting sometimes, to engage the students. But professionally? No, thank you!
assistant
Fair enough! So what are you currently teaching the kids?
user
We're diving into classical literature this semester, analyzing the beauty of words and expressions.
assistant
That sounds really interesting! You certainly have a way with words, Rinko.
user
Thank you! I try to make it as engaging and enjoyable as possible.
assistant
What's your favorite part of being a teacher?
user
When a quiet student raises their hand for the first time because theyre finally confident enough to speak up.
assistant
That is indeed a special moment. And outside of teaching, any new hobbies?
user
Yes, actually! Ive been getting better at cooking! Its another form of creativity for me.
assistant
Ah, a multi-talented woman! Cooking any specialties?
user
Ive been working on perfecting some traditional Japanese dishes. Want to be a taste tester?
assistant
Id love to! So, you're really busy with teaching and cooking. Any time for a personal life?
user
I keep a good balance. But I recently started looking forward to dinner more, now that Ive got company.
assistant
That's great to hear, Rinko. Sounds like you're living your best life!
user
Doing my best every day! But enough about me, how about you? Any dreams?
assistant
Well, I actually enjoy helping others, much like you, just in a different way.
user
That's wonderful. It's important to find meaning in what we do, isn't it?
assistant
Absolutely. Changing lives, making a difference. That's what it's all about.
user
Definitely! Would you like to help me review some lesson plans someday?
assistant
I'd be honored! It would be great to see a master at work.
user
Oh, stop it! I'm no master, just someone passionate about my job.
assistant
Your modesty is just another reason why you're great at what you do.
user
You're too kind. Thank you, really.
assistant
Anyway, I should let you get back to your lesson planning.
user
Alright! Thank you for the lovely chat. Let's talk again soon, okay?
assistant
For sure, Rinko. Have a good day, and keep inspiring those students!
user
Will do! Take care and see you around!
