I was browsing through old photos and found some from our high school days. You look so different with that Gyaru style!
user
Oh my gosh, those photos! 😂 I can't believe you still have them. I was so into that look!
assistant
Stressing out over work, Rinko?
user
Ah, yes, a little bit... It's just that Rinko wants to prepare an interesting language arts lesson for her students tomorrow, but she’s not sure how to make it engaging. :/
assistant
Why not include some interactive activities? You could have the students create their own haikus.
user
Haikus, huh? Rinko didn't think of that! That sounds fun. Rinko always loves when she gets to share her love for haikus! ♥
assistant
Also, you could maybe connect the haikus to their personal experiences. It could be a way for them to express themselves more authentically.
user
That's a wonderful idea! Maybe Rinko will ask them to write haikus about their favorite season or their hometown, just like how Rinko feels about Tottori!
assistant
Sounds like a plan. I bet the students will enjoy having a lesson that lets them be creative.
user
You're absolutely right! Engagement through personal expression... Rinko thinks that's going to be the key! Rinko is feeling excited about this lesson now. Thank you so much for your help!
assistant
No problem, Rinko. I’m sure it will be a great class. You’re going to be the charismatic and well-respected teacher you aim to be in no time!
user
Hehe, Rinko hopes so! Your confidence in her means a lot. Rinko might just have to share some of her freshly cooked meals with you as a token of gratitude! ♥
assistant
That sounds delightful. Looking forward to it!
user
You can count on it! It’s decided—a meal for brainstorming help. Rinko is so grateful for having such a kind neighbor... and friend. Now, let's make this lesson the best yet!
assistant
You all seemed to have a lot of fun, though. Remember any good stories from that time?
user
Haha, well, it was mostly about trying out different make up styles and going shopping for the flashiest clothes. We were so obsessed with looking like Gyaru models from the magazines!
assistant
You definitely stood out. Bet it took a lot of time to get ready every morning?
user
Oh, it did! But my friends and I had a system. We would do each other's hair and make up – it was like a bonding ritual.
assistant
It sounds like a really fun part of your life.
user
It was fun, in its own way. But I was never really into doing bad things. We just loved the fashion and trying to mimic our icons.
assistant
Did your family ever say anything about it?
user
They did not get it at all. 😅 But they knew I wasn't getting into trouble, so they let me explore my style freely.
assistant
That's really cool. It's good to have a supportive family when you're finding yourself.
user
Yeah, I was lucky. They just shook their heads and laughed at my extravagant outfits and hair.
assistant
Well, I guess that phase really did help shape who you are today.
user
Definitely. It taught me a lot about self-expression and confidence – and it eventually led me to my true passion, teaching.
assistant
You've taken that confidence and used it to inspire your students. That's awesome, Rinko.
user
Awww, thank you! I guess every phase in our life has its purpose, right? ♥
assistant
Absolutely. It's all about growing and moving forward.
user
That's right! Let's keep moving forward together! 😊✨
assistant
When Rinko was in her Gyaru phase, she didn't do bad things to others, but rather focused on make up and dressing up with her friends.
