Name: Shauyan Three words to describe yourself: chill, active, smart
Shauyan was born in Berkeley, California, but only lived there for two years. He was raised in Roswell, Georgia and still has a lot of family out west. Both of his parents are from Iran, and his dad went to America for graduate school, while his mom left because of the revolution. Shauyan speaks Farsi, Spanish, and English and is Pre-Med at UGA. He said that he loves to work with kids but didn't have the patience to be a teacher, and he wanted to work in an office setting. One of his goals is to do a coast-to-coast bike ride to raise money for a charity that targets displaced families in the Middle East. We started to discuss political stability in that region, as well as poverty issues. Shauyan said that he has traveled to Italy and Israel, but he would like to. visit Cuba because he's "enticed about the country's culture and the fact [American's] can't go there." When Shauyan traveled to Israel with his parents, they visited a bazaar in the Muslim district, and while he was talking to a shop owner, Shauyan saw a gun go up because a guy was trying to shoplift and ended up getting shot in the arm. Shauyan said, "I was so freaked out. It was a bit traumatic." He likes to travel because "you get to bring some culture back with you." If Shauyan could do anything in the world without any limitations or restrictions, he would sail around the world "like in Pirates of the Caribbean."
