Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal.

Chase Jacobson: Artisans Reflection

For this week’s Artisans service, the Knights and Setons got to go to Get Air at Spokane’s Northtown Mall and spend time with our mentees. In my case, I haven’t been able to see my mentee Derek all semester and I knew that he wasn’t going to be able to make it. Instead, me and another Knight named Max got paired together with a new mentee named Austin. This was Austin’s first time going to an Artisans event. After talking to Austin’s mom, we found out that Austin loves trampolines and was very excited to start. Once everyone was ready, Max and I took Austin out onto the floor and started jumping. Instantly we saw Austin’s face light up, which was a very rewarding experience for both Max and I. After a while, we decided to take a break and get some water and snacks. We weren’t away from the trampolines for five minutes when Austin asked if we could go back on. Although Max and I weren’t able to spend time with the mentees we developed a relationship with, it was still a blast to be able to have fun with someone new!
