1. the desire to get the best possible grades by choosing classes that are very easy for you
2. the desire to get a good education by spending a lot of time to obtain a very deep knowledge of subject being studied

We have advised my younger daughter to select her high school courses based on the highest level for which she can easily receive an A or B. I always believed that challenging yourself meant taking any class in which you were interested and giving it your best shot. However, there is no reward if you try and fail. So sadly, I want my younger daughter to "go for the grades" rather than challenging herself and stretching to learn more. It seems that the higher GPA will open doors to more colleges and also to more merit-based aid to be able to afford the colleges.

This is a very common phrase used by children under the age of 8 who forgot to go pee before the 10 hour long roadtrip.
This phrase is used because before the roadtrip started, the mom asks, do you have to go pee timmy? timmy usually says no.
30 minutes into the roadtrip... MOM I GOTTA GO PEE.
thus angering the mom.
Timmy: MOM I GOTTA GO PEE!!!!!!
Mom: Shut up Timmy.
