About Safwan
Safwan, arriving in January 2027 for a Spring Semester Program, is a thoughtful and accomplished student. He enjoys balancing technology, music, academics, and family life. He loves reading, coding, robotics, chess, and music, describing guitar as "the other half of me" and sharing that "coding makes something useful; music makes something that feels like me." Family is at the center of his daily routine, and his favorite time of day is dinner when everyone gathers to share stories and laughter. Growing up in a lively, close-knit environment, he values meaningful conversations, long walks with friends, and spending time with relatives.
He approaches challenges with patience and persistence, explaining that learning to run long distances taught him "to embrace failure in a systematic and logical way" and appreciate the importance of preparation. He is respectful, calm under pressure, and enjoys helping others, whether tutoring his younger sister, assisting classmates, or volunteering in his community. Safwan believes that "I don't think anyone can become a good leader without being a good follower first," a perspective that reflects both his humility and teamwork skills.
A host family will find Safwan eager to participate in family life and genuinely interested in building relationships. He hopes to become "part of your family" during his exchange year and describes himself as "an honest, helpful and curious" guest. In the United States, he is excited to experience school clubs and sports, join a band or choir, volunteer, attend a basketball game, and even see snow for the first time.
