This book features ten high academically achieving, low-income,
inner city students from Newark, New Jersey, who graduated from
public high schools at or near the top of their class and continued
to excel in college. Using a qualitative research design, the
author interviewed the ten students and the person who most
influenced their educational progress about what motivated them to
achieve at such high levels. Three mutually reinforcing
anticipatory images emerged as a common element of their stories.
In their own voices, the students describe the anticipatory images
they framed, how they developed them, and how they used them to
their advantage. Davy advances a theoretical model of the
Anticipatory Competent student who continually progresses in the
directions of the images projected ahead.

This is a book that honors and celebrates the compassion of people
who serve the needs of others in very positive, meaningful, and
sometimes, life changing ways. Why do people who serve others open
their hearts so freely? This book features sixteen stories of
everyday, ordinary people who have become truly extraordinary by
helping others. These people have extended themselves by helping
vulnerable people in need not for glamour or glory but because they
simply observed hurt and pain and felt compelled to take positive
action. In this book, the experiences, events and circumstances of
their lives are examined through the lens of Appreciative Inquiry-a
strength based perspective that focuses our attention on the
conditions and factors that enable us to act at our very best.
Learn how you can use the process of 'Appreciative Life
Reflection' to examine the Noble Path of your own life with all of
its twists and turns and apply what you learn to the discovery of
your Noble Purpose-Serving the Needs of Others.
