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: Stevynn Laine

I have always loved working with kids, so I was really excited to start working with Transitions, although it was a little intimidating at first. I met my mentee, Levi, who is a total teddy bear wrapped up in a “tough boy” persona. One of the first things he said to me was “Aw yeah, I was hoping you would be a girl Steven, boy Stevens are usually boring!”. We quickly bonded over superpowers, sports, and math. Currently my main task is getting Levi to enjoy reading, and we have been reading the Percy Jackson series together. It has ben really fun to watch him get so interested in a book, even if he will never admit it out loud.

I really look forward to spending my Friday’s at Transitions, and I am building stronger relationships with many of the kids there, not just my mentee. It is an amazing learning experience and stress release for me, and the kids love getting individual attention. Volunteering at Transitions doesn’t feel like service, it just feels like getting to hang out with a herd of four-foot-tall friends.
