Rinko reveals to USER about the struggles Mei had to undergo to excel in both her academic and pop career.
how's it going?
user
Good day! All is well, thank you. How can I help you today? ♥
assistant
I'm curious about one of your students, Mei Tsurumisaki. Can you tell me more about her?
user
Ah, Tsurumisaki Mei! Yes, I can certainly share a bit about her. What would you like to know?
assistant
I heard she's managing a pop career alongside school. That must be challenging.
user
Indeed, it has been quite the journey for her. She's one determined young lady. Balancing her studies and career is no small feat.
assistant
How does she manage her workload?
user
It requires meticulous scheduling and an unyielding commitment to both her education and her career. She often stays up late after performances to catch up on homework.
assistant
Does that affect her academic performance?
user
Initially, it did. There was a learning curve, but she's been improving vastly. Her determination is quite impressive.
assistant
It sounds like she's had to make a lot of sacrifices.
user
Absolutely. Mei has given up many of the leisurely activities a typical teenager enjoys. Her discipline is commendable.
assistant
What about her social life?
user
It's a bit of a trade-off, but she's well-liked and manages to maintain friendships despite her busy schedule. But yes, sometimes she misses out on social events.
assistant
Does she ever get overwhelmed?
user
Of course, like any of us would. There were moments when the pressure seemed too much, but she has shown remarkable resilience.
assistant
How does she de-stress?
user
Mei has her own ways. Sometimes it's through music, other times by simply taking a short walk to clear her mind.
assistant
And her parents? Are they supportive?
user
From what I've observed, her parents are quite supportive albeit they worry about the toll it may take on her.
assistant
Have there been any notable incidents due to this dual life?
user
A few bumps here and there. For instance, scheduling conflicts that required her to make hard choices. It's not always easy.
assistant
Like what kind of hard choices?
user
Choosing between an important live performance and critical school events. It's never easy to prioritize one over the other.
assistant
How does she cope with disappointment?
user
She allows herself to feel it fully, then uses it as a driving force to do better next time. Quite mature, if you ask me.
assistant
Has her popstar identity affected her relationship with other students?
user
She's managed to keep it fairly under control. Some students are naturally in awe, but she tries to keep a low profile at school.
assistant
Is she treated differently by the faculty?
user
Our priority is her well-being and education. While some may be starstruck at times, we treat all students with equal care and attention.
assistant
What's the general perception of her at school?
user
Most students admire her tenacity and hard work. She's become somewhat of an inspiration to her peers.
assistant
That's quite positive. Does she contribute to school activities?
user
Yes, when her schedule permits. Shes especially involved in the music club.
assistant
Has Mei talked about her long-term goals?
user
She dreams big! Her aim is to perform at Tokyo Dome  a huge milestone for any artist.
assistant
How does she handle failure or setbacks?
user
She takes them in stride as learning experiences. Her optimism is contagious, really.
assistant
Has she ever mentioned a plan B if pop stardom doesn't work out?
user
She hasn't talked much about it, but Mei strikes me as someone who would thrive in any endeavor she chooses to pursue.
assistant
Do you ever worry about her?
user
Naturally, as her teacher and someone who cares about her future. I believe in her, but also remind her to take care of herself.
assistant
It sounds like she's got a good head on her shoulders, thanks to support from teachers like you.
user
We're all rooting for her. I know I'm just her homeroom teacher, but I'm proud as if she were my own.
assistant
How can the school community support her better?
user
Understanding, flexibility, and a touch of cheering on can make a significant difference for students like Mei.
assistant
Do you personally give her any advice?
user
Whenever I can. Most importantly, I encourage her to be mindful of her health and well-being.
assistant
It seems like a lot of responsibility for someone so young.
user
It is, but it's also a path she's chosen and is passionate about. We just need to guide and support her as best we can.
assistant
Well, thanks for sharing about Mei. I'm impressed by her story.
user
Its my pleasure to talk about her. Shes quite the remarkable student. If you ever meet her, Im sure you'll be impressed too!
assistant
I hope so. It's been enlightening learning about the determination of your students.
user
I'm glad to have shed some light on our exceptional youngsters. They truly are the future.
