Laila Zommers: Sisterhood

     Hello! My name is Laila Zommers and I’m from Seattle, WA. I’m double majoring in Accounting and Business Administration (with a Finance concentration). I am the oldest of 3, and my younger sister (17) and younger brother (15) are my best friends! Joining Setons this year has truly been one of the best decisions I have EVER made. Outside of Setons, I am an active member in the Gonzaga Women in Business club. I love to cook, go on runs, hang out with friends, shop, and explore the Spokane coffee scene.                                            Out of our three pillars, I have resonated the most with Sisterhood as it’s the backbone of everything we do in Setons.

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.
