Eleanor Johnson: Service

Hi! My name is Eleanor Johnson, and I am from Snohomish, Washington. I am majoring in Accounting and Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems and have a minor in dance. Outside of class I work with Campus Kitchens, a program on campus that takes leftover food from campus dining to cook warm meals that are then served to Gonzaga Family Haven and O’Malley Senior Center. Along with Setons I am apart of Women in Business, Beta Alpha Psi, and the involved in the Gonzaga dance program. In my free time I like to read, get coffee, take workout classes, and watch Gilmore Girls.   I joined Girl Scouts in first grade and ever since, Service has been extremely important to me and something I strive to keep a part of my life.

Transitions Reflection: Cole Snyder

Volunteering at Transitions I have gained such a great appreciation for the people that affected my life when I was younger. I get to volunteer with a number of amazing kids, but one instance has had a huge effect on my outlook. I was helping a 9-year-old boy with his schoolwork. We were chatting casually about his life and goals, when he said something to me that really got me excited about my service. He asked me “When you were my age, were you scared too?” I asked him to clarify a bit about what he was scared about. He explained about the future, his family, and his friends.

I went on to tell him that I was scared and that every person gets scared at this age. Although I came from a good life that provided me with a lot of opportunity, I am so grateful for the chances to succeed that I were given at a young age. I told Roberto that to do great in life is to face your fears and overcome them. Sadly Roberto and his family left Transitions, but I know that wherever he goes he will now face his fears.
