The Queen's Classroom
Last Episode 16
Teacher, let's stop. And let's go.
Class isn't over yet.
Don't run away from what you have to do as 6th graders, and
find the happiness entitled to you, and live life fully enjoying that happiness.
And, as I need to be happy,
my friends also need to be happy. Don't forget that.
Consider myself precious, and consider my friends precious with the same heart,
try your hardest, with your friends,
so that today, you can live happily.
There is a private elementary school principal that I know very well.
It is a school with kids who are very smart,
so they're always looking for capable teachers like you.
I appreciate your intention, but I'll decline.
They said you're suspended for a year, but in reality, it'll be hard for you to return to a public school to teach.
I don't want to go to anywhere but a public elementary school.
A classroom, where diverse classes of kids are learning to live together,
I think that's where I should be.
Today, you returning to school . . .
must be because you still had more left to teach in your class 3?
Then now, is your teaching done?
Yes.
In the end, leaving the kids,
you chose to leave.
They are going to do well, without me.
Because the kids . . . aren't alone.
Now, what are we going to do?
Until the teacher comes back, should we not come to school?
If it's not Teacher Ma's teaching, then it won't do.
Should we refuse to attend class officially?
Right.
Our class won't take anyone else.
Except Teacher Ma.
So, you're thinking of skipping class?
Not that.
Everybody.
Are we just going to run away?
The words Teacher Ma just said, Did you guys already forget?
She told us not to run away from what we have to do.
Teacher Ma!
After a year, when your probation is over, you're going to return, right?
You won't quit being a teacher, right?
Of course not.
I have a question I wanted to ask you from a while ago.
Why did you choose teaching as your mission?
Teacher Yang, do you still . . .
I know that your answer cannot become my answer.
I'll also look for my own answer.
This is a question that will help me find my own answer.
It is because the kids, make miracles.
The teacher is only a guide. The kids who found out their own paths
change their lives and the world, for the better.
So, you. . .
it was not an issue to you, whether you're called a good teacher or not,right now?
Because to a teacher, rather than what kind of teacher she is, what the kids will become is more important.
That's why I always told you,
with the time you worry about useless things,
you should be taking care of your class.
Regarding Teacher Ma's disciplinary action,
after we complete the reporting process to the operations board, it will be all over.
Now that all the chaotic situations are over,
please concentrate on normal classes.
This.
Please look at it.
What is this?
These are files of Class 3's students that Teacher Ma made before she left.
I think she made it for the next teacher of her class,
It now became files for you, Vice Principal.
At first, we thought she was rude.
Being a teacher is very difficult task,
Always being so confident in herself,
We had thought of her as a fake.
But, after seeing the thoughts she has organized in the files...
From what the kids say...honestly, we were embarrased.
There is a school board member meeting today.
As a relief, I am able to say my last goodbye.
For this time, you've worked hard.
Teacher Ma, if you think of teaching at another school,
I think I can help you.
Just as I expected. Even though you break, you won't bend.
But, you know Teacher Ma...
That imaginary hope you dream about,
can it really happen in real life?
The winner in reality has always been on my side.
Is that so?
Aren't you also well aware of it?
Then why were you so afraid of me?
What?
If the hope I want is only an unrealistic dream,
then why did you try so hard to kick me out?
Isn't it because you also know?
That occasionally,
hope changes reality.
Then.
About what happened today, I won't consider it a problem anymore.
Now that all situations have been resolved, please concentrate on your studies.
Next.
For this class, we need to do mathematics.
We are at page 82.
Is that so?
Okay then. We're starting class.
Who wants to solve a problem? Whoever does, raise your hand.
Aouh, still today,
I wanted to have a drink.
One shot.
Today, we should drink like old days without titles.
Acting like you know everything.
You haven't changed since then!
Hey,
Why do you live like that?
What? Why?
Is being a regular teacher a sin?
You should say what you need to say.
You, why did you appear in front of me . . .
You're always hunched over like a starving wandering dog.
Hyung, you're the one who's always on a successful path.
You even became Vice Principal, but in the end all you do is
worry about the Department of Education
and make sure the parents are happy?
It's because it's a school.
Hyung.
There's rumors everywhere that you're going to get a good position in the Department of Education.
Good position?
I'll have to take it, since it's good.
Isn't life all about reaching as high as you can?
Hey, Ja Song.
Where can you find a good position as a teacher?
What kind of teacher are you, hyung?
You're a government employee.
Oh right.
You finally got to teach a bit recently.
Why, does it make you want to die?
It makes me want to die, really . . .
It makes me want to die, because I like it so much, punk.
Yes yes. You've done a lot of hard work on Teacher Ma's case.
By the way, about the petition we submitted,
please make sure not to let it get exposed that it was us.
Yes. Thank you.
Na Ri. You were home?
If I knew that you were here, I would've asked you to come along.I went shopping.
I bought some summer clothes for you. Check them out.
It was you, Mom?
The one who turned in our Teacher Ma to the board of education?
I'm really disappointed, Mom.
It was all for you.
Why do you always make decisions on your own without asking my opinion?
It's because you are still too young.
No matter how young I am,
If it's a matter involving me and my class teacher,
shouldn't you at least ask me if it's something I want?
Today, I'm tired even without you. Let's stop.
Why?
Now that you've actually kicked out Witch Ma, do you feel a little guilty?
You really. Why are you like this?
What happened to the Na Ri that listened to her mother well?
Right!
Until now, I have always done what you wanted,
trying hard to meet your expectations!
From now, if I don't want to do something, I'll tell you!
What?
I'll also look for what it is that I really want to do.
It's been a busy day.
From tomorrow, I guess we'll never see teacher witch again for real.
You said you had something to say.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Last night,
the tavern where we went to look for teacher witch at,
was the teacher witch, every night,
waiting for Ms. Rosa there?
I . . . think so.
You . . . did you see Ms. Rosa, too?
I think so.
At the parents participation class,
I think she came in for a little while.
But, she left again.
When she saw you, she weeped.
Probably--
That's alright.
Keep it a secret from Madam Oh.
Are you okay?
Rosa is gone, and Miss Rosa disappeared too.
Oh Dong Goo as Oh Dong Goo,
I just have to be well living on.
It's Saturday morning. We don't even have school.
Do we have to gather just to see Oh Dong Goo?
It's not on purpose.
Oh Oh hurry!
Oh! Hi!
Hi! Hi!
But why Hana2?
Say your goodbyes to him, to Hana2.
Let him go?
He's grown up now, let's let it go.
No matter if it's people or bugs,
when it comes time to be apart, we go our own ways.
Bye.
Go well.
But, it's not moving fast.
It doesn't like to be apart form us?
If we let it go here, it'll be alright.
Live well, HaNa2!
We also parted with the beetle, HaNa2
on the day after Teacher Ma left.
However, weird things started to happen.
Mr. Park! How long has it been since I told you tidy these boxes?
I apologize! I forgot.
I'll clean it right now.
My gosh,
He's not that smart, and he's always slow in his actions.
He's completely useless.
Even though you're close friends now,
will the kids from Group 6 continue to bear you?
You won't even help.
You're useless.
Mom.
What?
There's no useless person in this world.
What?
I'm bad at sports,
and I'm bad at studying too.
But, since I can draw a little, I'm helping you like this.
Mr. Park has a good personality
and he smiles a lot so we have a lot of lady customers. You know that, right?
That, I also know.
At times, Teacher Ma appears.
Even though she's still saying harsh words and scolding us,
We are finding our own answers and making it real.
What book is it?
Is it fun?
It's "Macbeth".
The witch is prophesizing the horrible future.
Seo Hyeon, when you are eating, it's not a good habit to read a book.
Are you uncomfortable?
No. I will eat.
Eating meal with Yoo sunbae, Was it very uncomfortable?
No.
If you dislike him, I will--
I like Yoo ahjussi, you can date him.
Seo Hyeon.
These past few days, what you showed studying was very impressive.
Because unlike the other kids, you're capable and cool hearted.
I will help you live the life you want.
I . . . have found the life I really want to live,
So, I hope you do too.
Oh Dong Goo.
Even if you just randomly pick,
I bet you'll get a better score.
I even got 40 points by throwing an eraser dice.
I know. Just roll the eraser.
Then the eraser is solving my problems.
But this time, I solved them on my own and got three correct.
But, why are you studying these days?
Hmm?
Studying is hard, and playing is fun.
Kids that are pressured by their mom would envy you.
But years later when they become adults,
would they still envy you?
She said only if I study can I play
with my friends.
Madame Oh.
I've completed it.
Kim Do Jin's own cocktail.
Oh my prince Do Jin. Should we taste it then?
You're good at studying. Why are you learning this anyway?
It's fun.
Witch Ma said we should do what we want to.
You study, and I make cocktails.
I'm not really about studying, tho.
How is it?
It's to kill for, right?
I don't think cocktail is really for you . . .
It's good though, to me.
All children have the right to receive education,
the right to play, the right to go to restaurants,
and the right to speak their own opinions.
Become the children's hope with only 1,000 won.
Please sign.
Thank you.
Na Ri!
Oh!
Ha Na!
Is it hard?
No. It's okay.
There are more people having hard times.
You're awesome.
But, your mom is not persuaded yet?
We keep fighting, because my mom thinks this is pointless.
I heard from my mother. Your mother seems very mad.
Hey, don't you think this is actually a way to become a global leader like my mom always talks about?
Right?
Na Ri looks fine, but she doesn't seem to be in good terms with her mom.
Have you met Na Ri's mother these days?
I don't know. These days, she doesn't come to the mothers' meetings too often.
But, Ha Na.
Will I be able to do well tomorrow?
It's just been a long time.
What if I get myself embarrased?
Should I find out more about it?
From what Eun Joong's mom said, finding a job again is super hard.
Think about it and judge for yourself.
And take responsibility for your choice .
Even if your answer is wrong now,
even if you'll lose something precious right now,
You can't be afraid.
Mom.
It's your choice. It's what you want.
If you fail, so what? You can just do it again.
Is that so?
Just be comfortable, comfortable.
We'll go ahead with the interview.
First, look at the products in front of you and list the pros and cons of each product.
Then write a report on how you would improve them without thinking about any restrictions or limitations.
I normally collect and post about information on new beauty trends on my blog.
if you give me a chance, I would like to work as a professional make-up tester.
Yes, good.
And then, Lee Min Kyung.
Please tell me your motivation and vision that prompted you to apply for the position of our company's product tester.
I applied because it was a position that require experience, but
that was already ten years ago.
But during that time, instead of beauty trends,
I've been more concerned about the trend in academies.
My children all grew up,
and I realized I just lived as someone's mom or wife.
I applied because I want to live my own life again.
Although aging is inevitable, I think women should still take care of themselves and stay beautiful.
If I get to work here,
I want to create makeup products that moms will like.
Mom, how did it go?
Really?
WOW! Mom, I knew you're so awesome!
That's so good! When do you start working?
Is it really Witch Ma's magic?
Breaking news regarding the last night's escape incident that put the city in a state of confusion.
The criminal escaped through a small, I mean...
unnoticeable roads...
Hey. Are you going to be a reporter being like that?
Uncle. Can I try again?
Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Brother-in-law said you have to go to medical school.
I persuaded my dad that I want to be a reporter that reveals problems in society.
He was against it at first,
but now he acknowledges my opinion and told me to work hard.
Here.
You have a good body line so it looks good overall.
Should I add more bling to the bottom part?
I would appreciate it if you lowered my waistline.
Today's just the preliminaries, so if you make it to the second round, I'll fix it up for you then.
Min Jae, I heard you dad is a designer too.
Yeah, but my dad's clothes are a bit embarrasing.
Hey, Soo Jin!
- It's your turn now. - Everybody.
All the kids are working hard
toward their future dreams.
Hello. I am number 217, Hwang Soo Jin. Thank you.
- Should we start? - Yes.
The future of Korean soccer is on you.
I think the Korean national team needs a great defensive midfielder like you.
Hey, let's talk after he gets into the middle school team.
Hey. Don't you see that he's nervous. Loosen up a bit.
You are going to get it! Fighting!
Fighting!
You want to take out her braces and do them again?
Graduation pictures are going to last forever.
She's young so she has to wear braces, but she has to take the picture without them.
Mom. Forget it.
Bit Na in sixth grade is Bit Na with braces.
I'm going to take the picture with them.
You're going to be a policeman?
Yes. It's my dream to carry a gun around.
Then isn't it better to be in the army?
But you won't be able to shoot very much.
But Hwa Jeong said she doesn't like soldiers.
-Does she like you? -No.
Just become a game developer with me.
What are you?
Why are you taking pictures?
It looks good right? For you two, a memory of your love.
For me, a coupon for free meals at the store for a month.
What will happen if your mothers see this?
Hey. You're being mean.
I'm hungry. I want to eat kimbap and ddeokbokki.
Are you really breaking up with her?
I should study, study!
You're going to study too, right? Stop dating.
I stopped going to dates.
I am going to study . . .
Dong Goo.
Jeon Soo is also here?
You came?
Did you get your notes and stuff? It's great we get to study together.
Me too.
Hey!
What are you?
Please select the movie you'd like to watch.
How about a melodrama?
You believe in everlasting love?
Looking at my parents, I don't believe in such things.
Then, what? By chance . . .
Let's watch a robot movie.
Something that involves saving the earth and lots of action.
You don't want to?
No. Look.
Considering myself precious, and living today happily with friends,
25 happinesses are beginning to take shape.
However, I don't think Witch Ma's magic works only on us.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Done.
Let me do it.
You improved a lot, Teacher Yang.
Your concentration is so much better than before, too.
Because I decided not to worry about useless things.
Instead, I'm going to be strong!
Because I found out that if I don't become strong myself, I can't protect the kids either.
You look good these days, Teacher Yang.
I owe it all to Teacher Ma.
Having had a chance to meet someone like Teacher Ma,
I think it was a very fortunate thing in my teaching life.
There are encounters of fate.
I wonder if Teacher Ma is doing well.
Teacher Yang,
What Teacher Ma said in her last class,
after hearing it from you, I've thought about it, and
Ah . . .
Don't run away from your responsibilities, and
enjoy life in full happiness that is yours.
They were such awesome words.
Yes.
Teacher Yang,
so, I have something I want to say to you.
Pardon?
To me, you are
an encounter of fate.
You improved a lot on your ability to put together the planning document now.
Ah, yes. Thank you.
Good, yes.
You've worked hard.
Yes.
In any event, Principal,
do you perhaps have any news on Teacher Ma?
Did Teacher Ma seem like a person who would keep in touch?
I don't know, either.
I see.
Is there anything else you want to say?
I've had something that I was curious about from a while back, and
I heard Teacher Ma has been to Jail . . .
About that?
If you hear only parts of the story, it would seem like Teacher Ma did something real bad, but
In the second trial, she was found not guilty and was released.
Was she framed or something?
Sort of like that.
Fortunately, the student who claimed to be the victim later
changed the testimony, so
the truth came out.
At that trial, I participated as a member of education department, and
that is where I first met Teacher Ma.
Then, after listening to Teacher Ma speak at that trial, and invited her to come to our school?
If silence could be considered a speech, I suppose so.
Teacher Ma didn't say a word throughout the trial.
Pardon?
Why?
Because she thinks any wrongdoing of the students is the teacher's responsibility, as you know.
Regarding kids, she is a bit hardheaded person.
Look.
Tada.
This is the world we lived in for a year, ha.
It was a spectacular year. . .
So many things happend, for real.
Hey, Oh Dong Goo. Hurry and clean.
Yes yes, group leader.
This Oh Dong Goo's sixth grade,
began with cleaning and it ends with cleaning.
Tomorrow, it's a real graduation.
Worst Student Group, final cleaning!
Cleaning! - Cleaning! - Cleaning!
Let's go.
Is Madam Oh coming to the graduation ceremony?
He is trying to figure out what to wear, it's been two days now.
But, it's a relief that he is still healthy.
Do you want to come over?
Okay. Call!
Oh Dong Goo.
That seems like your mother.
I think she's here to see you.
Go hurry.
Wait.
Your teacher gave me this.
You came to give me this?
Your teacher came to find me all the time to scold me.
When she scolds people, It's kinda scary.
Dong Goo, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Dong Goo, I'm sorry. Sorry!
Hi!
Hello!
Congrats.
You look super pretty.
Hello.
Stand straight.
You look cool, let's go!
Wait.
We should hold our hands.
No! - It's okay, okay.
Hello.
I'm so hungry.
Me too.
Ha Na!
Congratulations!
Let's go take a picture.
We're be in first then.
Oh Dong Goo.
Omo, our three musketeer beauties, congratulations on your graduation.
Don't worry.
Our Miss Rosa said she'll be a bit late.
You called her Miss Rosa again.
Ah, no. My mom.
My mom~
The graduation ceremony
will be starting soon.
Let's go.
Do you guys want to eat some pappbingsoo?
2014 School Year 37th class Sandeul Elementary School Graduation Ceremony
Students and parents, please take your seats.
It's that time to send off the kids again.
What to do.
I think I'm going to cry.
These days, even the kids don't cry.
You have to make it so obvous that you're a new teacher.
It could be different for her.
It's her first time letting the students go, after becoming a class teacher.
What am I going to do? I can't be like this from the beginning.
From now, the 37th graduation ceremony of Sandeul Elementary School will start.
We will introduce the homeroom teachers who have been working hard all year.
Grade 6, Class 1. Teacher Goo Ja Song.
Class 2, Teacher Yang Min Hee.
Class 3, Teacher Song Yeong Man.
I miss her.
It would have been great if teacher witch was here.
This concludes the introduction of homeroom teachers.
6 - 3 Ma Yeo Jin
Congratulations to all 6th graders.
Today, with all of you,
I am graduating from 43 years of teaching.
Teachers, please congratulate me.
Yes, thank you.
But looking back, it's like this.
When I feel accomplished as a teacher is,
rather than being with you in school,
later, 10 20 years later,
when the students I taught grew up,
and show how happy they are, is when I really felt I have done something.
You all too, I hope you won't forget 10 or even 20 years later.
And that this year,
without forgetting what you've learned, and what you've shared with your teachers,
showing how well you're growing up
will be the best gift you can give to your grateful teachers.
Next, diplomas will be handed out to 6th grade class 3.
Kim Tae Sung.
Since this student has completed all courses of elementary school 6th grade,
we are presenting you this diploma.

♫ For the day when we meet again Let's sing a song
♫ Farewell, be well As we hold our hands
Are you here to watch the graduation?
I knew you would come.
I was surprised by the students of Class 3.
There were no students who had bad behavior or were ever tardy.
Clean up and other classroom duties were efficiently distributed amongst themselves.
No outcasts, either.
Seeing them do their best at everything, together with joy...
It was very different from other kids these days.
You knew about it, right?
Knowing you, Teacher Ma, you would have watched over them.
I will be leaving.
What are you guys going?
Graduation ceremony isn't over yet.
Vice Principal let us go.
He said you were here, and that we should greet you.
Vice Principal, he always made us study by ourselves at first.
But once he got familiar with us, he keeps asking us to play soccer with him.
He's kind of a weird teacher.
Not as weird as you though.
Teacher, we have something that we really would like to show you.
6th grade Class 3 Graduation Painting
It's a graduation painting, everyone in our class worked together to make.
We really wanted to show you, Teacher.
To me who was a subtle outcast until 5th grade,
Teacher, you gave me
a chance to make good friends.
Teacher.
Thank you.
Teacher, you helped me find
the life I want to live.
Thank you for letting us
learn under you.
Teacher, I'm sorry.
You hurt your hand because of me.
I'm so sorry.
From now on, I'll protect my self pride,
Teacher,
after meeting you, I was able to make friends,
so I am no longer alone.
Teacher, thank you.
Teacher,
I won't give up on my dreams.
I'll come visit you when I am older and more mature.
Teacher. I really missed you.
With you not being here, I was really sad.
Now that you're back, we won't depart anymore.
I will work hard.
I will study hard. Not for the grades, but to really learn.
I will be a soccer player and find you.
Teacher. I am really grateful.
I will be your student whom you won't find shameful.
Teacher, when I become a designer, I will make you a great suit for you.
It was really great having you as our homeroom teacher.
I really hate parting ways . . .
At first, I always spread rumors about how weird you were.
Teacher. I'm sorry.
Before, I was worried that I would become a loner.
But now, I am not worried anymore.
I will live without whining.
But, I really missed you.
Class 3 will never forget you, Teacher.
I want to keep learning from you.
Your lessons were the best.
I'm going to be a teacher when I grow up.
Like you, teaching kids.
I wrote down everything you said.
Everyone in this class has a copy.
I . . . want to learn from you than study.
I want to start all over from the beginning again.
Teacher, I like you. Really.
I really like you.
We're really sad that you're not in our graduation album.
Teacher, please don't forget us.
We really wanted to receive our diplomas from you.
Teacher, thank you for finding my mother.
My mom thanks you too.
Teacher, when you need me, call me anytime.
If you call me, I will run to you.
That's because . . . you are my teacher.
It seemed like you were making us struggle and making everything hard for us,
but behind the scenes, you were caring about us individually,
and you worried for us.
No matter what people say, I believe
that you are our great teacher.
I wish that you would continue to watch us grow, Teacher.
Don't be pathetic. Stop acting like kids.
♫ The grace of our teachers are
♫ immense like the sky.
♫ The more and more I look, the higher it becomes.
♫ Be good, be righteous. The teachings that we learned.
♫ The hearts of our teachers are like our parents.
♫ Ah, how grateful.
♫ The love of our teachers.
♫ Ah, we will repay. The teacher's grace that we've received.
How long are you going to dwell in your memories?
This is no longer a place for all of you.
Now, go to middle school.
Oh Dong Goo!
I heard you don't have to go back to the orphanage.
I decided to live with my mom. And Madame Oh.
Good job! Congrats.
I'm giving you this.
Really? You're giving it to me?
You don't want it?
That's not what I meant. It just has lots of memories of you and your mom.
Our memories are there too.
Yeah.
Would you take it?
Thank you. I didn't prepare a gift.
Thank you for this one year. And for keeping your promise.
It's not going to be Witch Ma anymore, but whenever you need a buddy to support your fights, let me know.
I'll be by your side.
Thank you.
And, my mother told me this . . .
In middle school, I'll grow to be a lot taller
since my mom is tall.
Oh, your mom is really tall.
Yeah.
So, when I grow taller,
then, I'll become cool . . .
Then, then . . .
I . . . will be your boy . . . boy . . .
Right!
I have to go pick up my school uniform.
My mom is probably waiting for me.
Okay. Then you have to go.
Yes. . . Then, I'll be going.
Then, bye.
Bye!
Oh Dong Goo!
You are already cool now!
3, 2, 1. Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up!
This is bad! Wake up!
Shim Ha Na [Middle School Uniform\i}
--Hi! --Hi!
Oh~ Since you're tall, Seo Hyeon, you look nice in the uniform too.
Your school uniform is pretty too.
Hey Oh Dong Goo, what's wrong with your uniform?
Why did you have to fold them so many times?
Oh. Madame Oh said I should wear something that fits,
but my mom said I should wear something bigger so I would grow into them.
So they were arguing all night.
It must be nice that Bo Mi and Dong Goo are going to the same school.
Ha Na and I go separately.
How annoying.
Do you think I like it?
Are we not going to be able to meet up often anymore?
What are you talking about?
Our Madame Oh really wants to see the pretty three girls.
Come play anytime. Welcome, welcome.
Ah, it's getting late.
Should we meet up during the weekend at Dong Goo's?
Okay.
Bye!
Stop standing next to me!
Hey, what are you?
Vice Principal, over here.
What are you doing here?
Here, on this wall, I'm thinking about letting a vine grow. It should be pretty, right?
Yes. Well, do what pleases you.
You don't like the vines or the fact that I postponed my retirement for 3 years
and kept my position as principal?
No, no. Not at all.
Vice Principal, you also rejected a great position at the Education Ministry and stayed here at the school.
Where did you hear such thing?
Let's grow a vine then.
You can go. It's the beginning of school, so you must be busy.
Yes. Okay.
Oh right. I left the Principal's Office empty, so you can use it anytime.
You know what to do for signatures?
Yes, I got it. Then.
Just shake it off and head inside.
You're the important ones, not the hallway.
Okay.
Hello.
Just shake the dirt off.
Look at that.
Why did you bring such unnecessary items to school?
If you do it one more time, I'll confiscate it,
so you know.
Go in to the classroom.
Hello.
Will she be alright?
I don't know.
What grade is Teacher Yang teaching this year?
First grade. 8-years-olds.
Do you think Teacher Ma's ways will work on them?
Teacher!
Teacher, Hello!
I . . . am a middle school student from today on.
I am a bit nervous, but I am looking forward to it.
Ah, teacher. But, I have something I'm curious about.
We beat you, right?
Teacher, you're really glad that you lost to us, right?
Teacher! You are going to return, right?
Of course.
Ah! I'm going to be late. Teacher, goodbye!
♫When I open my eyes to the ticking of the clock, each day is new but the same,
♫ Without thinking I just head out in the same direction that I go every day.
♫ But over there is somewhere I've never been before.
♫It's very big and high and I can't even imagine.
♫ I want to go farther beyond the walls.
It's not that I believe in an impossible dream. ♫ I want to hide my slightly nervous heart and
I believe in the possibilities within them. A teacher is only a guide. The kids who have found their own path ♫ I want to hold your hand tightly and run.
change their life and the world, for the better. So a good college or a good job cannot be the goal. ♫ Let's become refreshed in the pouring green rain.
Exams or grades cannot be everything either. Believe what you believe. ♫ I used to be immature; I used to be like a child
It's okay to be wrong. It's okay to fail. Just as I need to be happy, don't forget my friends also need to be happy. ♫ But the reason I grew up in your eyes and your one smile which believed in me.
Consider myself precious, and consider my friends precious with that same heart, ♫ That's good enough for me.
so that you can live today happily with your friends.
