“I wish everyone could have a Carla Dickson in his or her corner” (Davis et al 136). Carla was a very important person to The Three Doctors.

“Sampson, George, and Rameck looked at each other across the classroom and grinned. No one had ever given them such **affirmation** before. No one had ever given them permission to **dream so large or to visualize the possibility of success**” (129).

This is a very moving quote. There are so many great possibilities within each of us, but sometimes they remain dormant until they somehow “come alive” because someone helps us to believe in ourselves.

Find one example (from Chapter 16) of how Carla motivated/inspired The Three Doctors into believing in themselves, in visualizing the possibility of their success. Write and cite the quote. Explain why you chose that passage. This does not need to be in paragraph form.

ACTIVELY Read pages 146-166 (we will read some in class)

“From that moment on, the knot George wore was his own” (159).
