Daniel Scott Smith

First off the bat, it must be stated that Daniel Scott Smith, commonly referred to as DSS, spent 9 weeks in Thailand last summer, 4 for which he lived as a Buddhist monk. Now that’s pretty damn cool. Currrently, DSS is a freshman as Stanford University, and he is from Tampa, FL. He is loving life at Stanford, and he is absorbing as much as he can from being at such a ‘bastion of liberal thought’. DSS is debating between being an English Lit major, or an Art History major, personally I believe he should go for the latter.

Looking towards the future, DSS has aspirations to perhaps become a high school English teacher; such a profession would give him the opportunity to impare his own experiences from his youth, and provides future generations with real life lessons for success. LE is going to give DSS the perfect opportunity to ‘whet his palette’, in the domain of teaching. He has never been to Egypt, nor does he know any Arabic, but he is looking forward to spending a considerable period of time in an Islamic country. He is excited to be able to live life comparable to that of an Egyptian, and to learn firsthand about the Islamic Egyptian culture.

DSS is a really cool dude, who has awesome plans to help the future of our world. Directly following college, he is not entirely sure where he wants to be, but he is confident that he wants to spend time living abroad. Perhaps he may spend time in the Peace Corps, or with Amnesty International, which is his favorite international non-profit organization. Wherever the future may take him, his experience with LE Egypt will be an incredible marker for his international service career.
