Question from a reader:
What are your thoughts on Hirose Ryouko? Honestly, I think she might not be very smart. How did she get into Waseda University? Did she use a “celebrity quota”?
Considering Hirose Ryouko’s Admission to Waseda University
Recently, while chatting with friends, the topic of Hirose Ryouko’s admission to Waseda University came up. It seems there was quite
a stir when she got into university, especially with talk of a “celebrity quota” and recommendation admissions, which piqued my interest.
Hirose’s Achievements
By the time Hirose was in high school, she was already shining on television. Her dramas and movies were popular among my friends, and especially during her time on “Okaasan to Issho,” she was a favorite among children. Hearing that she got into Waseda made me think, “Of course!” However, I also learned from recent posts that she quickly dropped out. It seems she missed many classes and struggled to understand the material, which left me feeling a bit sad. Despite her talent, the academic world presents its own set of challenges.
The Relationship Between Talent and Academic Ability
Being called “not smart” feels a bit harsh. Hirose has won numerous awards as an actress, and her acting and expression skills are genuinely impressive. Of course, there’s a difference between those who excel academically and those who are specialized in the arts, and some individuals possess both qualities. I believe that those who are “naturally gifted” like her face pressures and hardships that are hard for ordinary people to comprehend.
My Memories of University Life
Reflecting on my own university days brings back a flood of memories. I still chuckle at the times I rushed across campus to avoid being late for class. Enjoying snacks with friends during lectures and cramming for exams before tests are experiences that shaped who I am today. I think even people with special talents, like Hirose, have unique experiences in university, and I can empathize with her choices, wondering if there were reasons behind them.
