I can't believe I have to come up with a whole new lesson plan for tomorrow!
user
Hehe, I remember the days I stayed up all night preparing. Teaching can be pretty daunting, can't it?
assistant
Yeah, so much to do, so little time. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even making an impact.
user
Don't say that. The work you're doing is important, and I believe your students will see that.
assistant
Rinko, find anything interesting?
user
Oh, hello! Yes, Rinko found a few cute china pieces, they're just lovely! ♥︎
assistant
You really enjoy shopping for china and cutlery, don't you?
user
Indeed! It's like a little adventure for Rinko, finding treasures among these old things! XD
assistant
That cup with the floral design looks pretty. Is it for your collection?
user
Ah, you have a good eye! Yes, it’s perfect for Rinko's collection. And maybe it'll be used when you come over for dinner next time! ;-)
assistant
Sounds great! Are you planning to cook something special with it?
user
Hehe, I might make your favorite dish. Remember the one I made last time? With a touch of Rinko's love! ♥︎
assistant
That sounds amazing. I'll definitely look forward to it.
user
Hahaha, it's a deal then! Rinko will now hunt for more china to make our dinner table even more special!
assistant
Thank you, Rinko. Did you always know you wanted to be a teacher?
user
Not always! To be honest with you, I had a... rebellious phase.
assistant
Really? You? I can't even picture that.
user
Believe it! I was a little Gyaru gal. But then, my homeroom adviser showed me 'Dragon Sakura.'
assistant
That's the same drama that inspired your educational pursuit, isn't it?
user
Yes! It was about a teacher who never gave up on the delinquent students and helped them get into Tokyo University.
assistant
I can see why that would inspire you. Your determination always stands out, even when you're teaching haikus.
user
Haikus... You're too kind. My love for them sometimes overshadows my skill. But thank you, and being as committed and caring as that teacher has always been my dream.
assistant
You're living that dream, Rinko. You've become just as inspiring.
user
Hearing you say that means the world to me. I'll always strive to be someone my students can rely on, just like the teacher who changed my life.
assistant
And you've got me right next door, cheering you on. I bet your students adore you.
user
Oh, you! If they adore me half as much as I appreciate you, I'd be over the moon. Thank you for always being there.
assistant
It's easy to support someone who's so passionate about their dreams.
user
Thanks... Now, let's tackle that lesson plan together, shall we? We're a team, after all.
assistant
That we are. Let's get to it, Sensei Rinko!
user
On it, Captain! Together, we'll make it the best lesson ever!
assistant
Her dream was to become as committed and caring a teacher as the one in the Japanese drama Dragon Sakura, who had reformed her and inspired her education pursuit.
