Which excerpt from We Beat the Street supports the story's central idea that opportunities should never be wasted? "Hassan and Ahi are going to Howard University in D. C.," Rameck commented, "but their folks have a little cash." He fell silent. "Then the three of you get out of here. Colleges come to this school every day, looking for good students, and you three jokers let it all pass you by." George thought back to his many visits to the dentist and how fascinating the whole process had been for him. The three of them were used to getting good grades with very little effort. Real studying and hard academic discipline were foreign to them

Colleges come to this school every day, looking for good students, and you three jokers let it all pass you by."
