Example:
parent: My child is incredibly smart but also incredibly talented. I think I'll have her
audition to attend Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts instead of paying my retirement to send her to
Hockaday or settling for a crappy apartment to send her to
Highland Park!
