COM  \nOne.  \nI look over at the digital clock at the front of the bus just as the time changes to 8:30. The engine begins to rumble, the seat begins to shake, and the bus slowly pulls onto Route 6 and heads toward JPA—the Jay Pritzker Academy—near Siem Reap, Cambodia. The bus is alive with chatter. Peace Corps volunteers trade stories about their experiences in their assigned villages; international schoolteachers discuss their plans for the day’s lessons. I overhear one of the Peace Corps volunteers, Deidre, say,“I have to say, the Peace Corps offers incredible health care. They medevaced me to Bangkok when I got dengue fever.”  \nToday, I find myself unable to join the conversation. I stare blankly at the blue cloth seat in front of me, trying to gently coax my knotted stomach out of my throat. All I can think a bout is the empty seat beside me and the uncomfortable feeling of entering uncertain territory alone.  \nMy friend and co-teacher, Shah riyar, is in the Angkor Hospital recovering from a serious bout of amoebic dysentery. I visited him yesterday. He was lying in bed with his summer reading in his right hand and an IV in his left. Looking pale and exhausted, he weakly lifted his head and greeted me.“I don’t know if you know this yet,” he said,“but I’m flying home tomorrow. Are you  \ncoming with me?” Though the news didn’t surprise me, the question caught me off guard. As I left the hospital room, I couldn’t help but think how easily this could have been me in his situation.  \nThe bus drives over a speed bump faster than it should have, and I’m jolted back to the present. I try to take my mind off Shah riyar and look out the window at the world around me. Everything is so much different than it is in Deerfield, yet it all somehow feels very natural to me. To my left I see an elderly woman wearing a mask sweeping dust off the street ; I smile at her, but she doesn’t notice. As the bus gets closer and closer to JPA, the fact that I will have to teach today’s lessons by myself begins to set in. I wonder if I’m physically capable of teaching three hours of class by myself in the ninetydegree heat and 90 percent humidity. In the past, Shahriyar and I had always taken turns leading the class, giving eachother a few moments to rest and rehydrate while the other taught. A part of me is afraid to do it. I’ve never had to lead the class without the comfort and support of having Shahriyar by my side. As I think about the challenges I will face, I realize how easy it would be to turn back. I only have to call Sokun—a local tuk-tuk driver and he’d take me to the airport. Knowing my co-teacher has become seriously ill, nobody would think less of me if I went home today.  \nAs I sit in my seat, planning my trip home, the bus slows nearly to a stop and then turns onto a narrow red dirt road. I’ve suddenly plunged into a new world. The mess of worn-down concrete buildings and mopeds gives way to miles of flooded rice paddies stretching as far as I can see. Every few hundred yards I see boys and young men working barefoot in the fields. The bamboo huts that dot the landscape make me think back to my visit to the house of one of my students, Dari. I remember looking into his room and seeing a wooden table on his dirt floor. Close by, a bamboo shelf was filled with books. The globe he had won for being on the Honor Roll was proudly displayed on the bookshelf among his prized possessions. Smiling ear to ear, he told us that JPA was the best thing in his life. I realize that it really is too late to go home. I’ve already fallen in love with my students.  \nAs the bus pulls into JPA’s driveway, the rest of the teachers begin gathering their materials. I remain seated, deep in thought.“Are you coming?” I hear a familiar voice ask me. I look up and see Deidre looking at me.  \n“Of course I am.”  \nMOONPREP.COM  \nOne-Review.  \nIn es","cbCaimo0krKkIvnC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimo0krKkIvnC","pdf",701962,19,"English","# One - Community service essay critique\n## Community vs. self-aggrandizement\n## Structure, imagery, and empathy","[{\"question\":\"What common risk do community service essays face according to the text?\",\"answer\":\"They can fall into self-aggrandizement by emphasizing personal sacrifices and achievements instead of true service.\"},{\"question\":\"What strengths does the example essay demonstrate?\",\"answer\":\"It conveys compassion, humility, and devotion, with a solid structure and vivid, well-executed details that create memorable empathy.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is Josh’s essay described as effective for admissions?\",\"answer\":\"Because it signals genuine sincerity and deeper personality elements rather than forced résumé padding, which stands out as applications increase.\"}]","Harvard Edition 2022 - Nine Essays That Landed Students a Spot at Harvard | PDF",1790082625,7]
