Harold McGee

The ultimate master of swag. That man who disapprovingly chuckles at your code over your shoulder when you least expect it. The legendary Harold McGee. He'll tell you to read your Barron's book, to do your coding bat, to stop tubing in Aruba. But in the end, come the day of the ap exam, you're gonna be sitting there, sweating bullets, trying to find the default color of an actor in GridWorld. And he's just gonna be sitting there, laughing his head off, yelling IT'S BLUE!
Man, yesterday our chem teacher pulled a Harold McGee and made us do a ton of exercises while ranting about the ap exam!

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.
