Ellipsis Sine Wave 

An Ellipsis Sine Wave is a Sine Wave that is not fully connected; Ellipsis Sine Waves are also considered "Dotted Sine Waves" or "Dashed Sine Waves" they're like dotted lines except that it goes in a similar pattern as a sine wave. Real Ellipsis Sine Waves start large and then slowly decline exponentially slowing down. If you to the end of an infinitely large sine wave, at the end it would no longer be an Ellipsis Sine Wave.
In class, I drew an ellipsis sine wave so I wouldn't mistake it for the sine waves I had to solve for my homework.

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
