This study examined how resilient students dealt with the issues and challenges they faced trying to do well in school and going to college. Using a case-study approach, I focused on the disadvantaged, or "at-risk" minority college-bound students' formation of future selves, how they found and utilized resources to help maintain the goal of obtaining higher education, and how students handled conflicting demands from family, peers, and sometimes the society during the process. Four 12th grade college-bound at-risk minority students were selected from a large urban high school. Parents or guardians, as well as "significant persons," were also interviewed. Semi-structured interviews with the students, their parents or guardians, and significant persons were conducted and audiotaped. All audiotapes were transcribed and coded. Students formed college-bound future selves not only because college was linked to better career opportunities, but also because students feared what would happen to them if they did not receive a college education. Examples of life without higher education were evident in students' everyday environment. College education was instrumental to a better future. Efficacy was developed and solidified mainly through actually experiencing the job hands-on. Parenting style and open communication lessened the students' reliance on friends for support and information, and distanced students from possible negative influences. Extracurricular activities also influenced students' peer composition, fostered self-esteem, efficacy, and identity development. Students exercised diplomacy to balance the different demands among parents, teachers/counselors, and peers. When faced with difficult decisions, students envisioned how the decision would impact them in the future. Students also compare themselves to peers in the future to judge how much weight to give to the peers' comments. Research with students' experiences as data can help us add depth to emerging theories of resilience and help us examine and re-conceptualize existing theories, as well as help educators develop and refine programs that aim at raising academic achievement for minority students.
