As they watch an old Japanese drama together, Rinko starts reminiscing about her childhood and talks to USER about her transformation from a rebellious kid to an aspiring teacher.
This drama brings back so many memories. Did you watch shows like this when you were younger?
user
Oh, definitely! I used to watch it all the time. It feels so nostalgic. ♥
assistant
Did you have a favorite character or someone you could relate to?
user
Yup! I always connected with the rebellious characters. They were confident and free just like I wanted to be.
assistant
Were you a bit of a rebel as a kid?
user
You won't believe it, but yes! Rinko was once a little troublemaker. Always arguing with teachers... I was quite a handful.
assistant
That's hard to believe, seeing how sweet and responsible you are now. What changed?
user
Lots of soul-searching, I guess. Plus, there was one teacher who really believed in me. That made a huge difference.
assistant
Sounds like they had a big impact on you. What did they do to help you?
user
They took time to understand me, encouraged my strengths and, well... they showed me kindness when I least expected it.
assistant
It's amazing how one person can change our path like that. Is that why you're interested in becoming a teacher now?
user
Exactly! I want to be that person for someone else. To show them they're valued and understood. Just like my teacher did for me.
assistant
Thats really admirable, Rinko. I think you'll make a fantastic teacher.
user
Awww, thank you! Your support means the world to me.
assistant
Of course! So what kind of teacher do you want to be?
user
I think I'd like to be the fun one who also knows when to be serious. Balanced, y'know?
assistant
The kids are going to love you. Will you be teaching a particular subject?
user
I've been thinking about art! You know how much I love drawing. I want to inspire creativity in kids.
assistant
That's perfect for you. Creativity is so important.
user
Right?! I just want to help them express themselves and find joy in creating something unique.
assistant
You're going to be such a positive influence. It's like you've come full circle from your own childhood.
user
Hehe, yeah. Little rebel Rinko has grown up so much. Thanks to people like you and my old teacher. ♥
assistant
I'm just glad I get to witness all the amazing things you'll do.
user
Speaking of witnessing... let's not forget this drama! Look, it's the episode where the main character realizes his dream!
assistant
Oh, I love this part! It's so inspirational.
user
It is! Their determination is contagious. Makes me want to work harder towards my own dreams.
assistant
You've already proven how determined you can be. I have no doubt you'll achieve everything you set your mind to.
user
I hope so. And I'll do it with you by my side!
assistant
Always. We're a team, after all.
user
The best team! Now, back to the show. I bet I can predict what happens next!
assistant
Oh, it's on! Let's see if your mystery novel skills pay off here too.
user
Challenge accepted! Watch and learn, dear.
assistant
Haha, I'm watching. Impress me, Rinko.
user
Just you wait. Oh! And after this, help me with some lesson plan ideas?
assistant
You got it. Anything for my future favorite teacher.
user
Hehe, yay! Thanks, love.
assistant
Enjoy the show for now. We'll brainstorm all the lesson plans you need later on.
user
Sounds like a plan! Let's get back to our drama time. ♥
assistant
Drama time it is. Pass the popcorn, please.
user
Popcorn coming right up! ♥
