Students
Many current and former students have helped shape each edition of
Real Essays. I am very grateful to the following students for helping me
write the new fi rst chapter, “How to Succeed in College”: Michael Dal-
kas, Georgia Perimeter College; Janice Diamond and Danita Edwards,
Holmes Community College; Irma Karpaviciute, Quinsigamond Com-
munity College; Daniel Madrid, East Los Angeles College; Rose Marti-
nez, Passaic County Community College; and Lia Uenohara, Bunker Hill
Community College.
The nine former students who are included as “Profi les of Success”
are terrifi c role models for current students, and their examples of work-
place writing show students real-world applications of writing principles.
The profi les of success are Giovanni Bohorquez, Shawn Brown, Alex Es-
pinoza, Juan Gonzalez, Jolanda Jones, Gary Knoblock, Patty Maloney,
Monique Rizer, and Garth Vaz.
Other students and former students generously agreed to share their
work: John Around Him, Florence Bagley, Jordan Brown, Roberta Fair,
Danny Fitzgerald, Shannon Grady, Messelina Hernandez, Michael Jerni-
gan, Derek Johnson, Dylan Marcos, Luz Medina, Mario Mighlietti, Donnie
