Ms. Caponetti

She died for our sins. She is the mother ship of English teachers. She laces her cookies with steroids to help her students pass her tests, because even she knows that they are impossible. Best teacher to ever be conceived but she will SQUASH your gpa. Everytime you think you are safe you are wrong, Ms. Cap is there. But have no fear, the writing engraved on your tombstone will be properly indented, double spaced, 12-point Times new Roman, and cited in MLA format.

MHS 2023-2024 Cap classes are goated forever and always 🔥

God Speed Ms. Caponetti, and RIP her students

“Hey who is your English teacher?” “Ms. Caponetti.” “Oh brother you are cooked as freak”

“What did you get on Ms. Caponettis test?” “7%!!!” “OH MY GOD YOURE SO LUCKY!!!”

Striver

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
