"A" FOR EFFORT

If you get an "A" for effort, you get a good grade or recognition for trying to do something, even if you were not successful. 

Example: Little Melissa tried to learn to ride her bicycle. She fell many times, without much success, but she didn't cry once and kept trying again and again. In the end, her mom told her that she deserves an A for her effort, and that they should try again tomorrow.
