Hello! My name is Samantha Hidalgo (I go by Sam!), and I am SO
excited to be a Seton. I am a nursing major with a Spanish minor, and I’m from
Los Angeles, California. In my free time, I love to read and journal, or even
take walks down Centennial Trail to Downtown. Outside of Setons, I am involved
in GSNA (Gonzaga Student Nurses Association). Since the entirety of my first
year of college was online, I am so thankful for the Setons, since they have
not only given me the opportunity to get to know the Spokane community a little
better, but the club has also allowed me to make 29 new friends, who I am SO
grateful for everyday!
Sisterhood is the pillar that holds the most significance to me. I
attended an all-girls school for high school, and I developed a strong
relationship with many girls and truly felt an immense boost in my confidence
during my high school experience. Now that I’m back in a co-ed environment, I
didn’t want to lose that sense of sisterhood in my everyday life, which is why
the Setons stood out to me so much! This class of Setons has bonded together so
quickly in such a short amount of time, and it brings me so much joy every time
we all get together for our monthly service or social events. I love going on
sister dates with each person, since it gives me time to really get to know
each of my Seton sisters. A strong aspect of sisterhood that I’ve recognized
from this first semester of being a Seton is through our weekly meetings. While
we’re all waiting for the meeting to start, you can find girls turning to their
sisters and checking in with one another to see how they’ve been doing
throughout the week; we lift each other up if someone shares that they’ve had a
rough week and we provide words of encouragement. During the meeting, we’re given
the chance to give a Sister Shoutout to another sister, which spreads even more
love and encouragement, and it truly reflects this sisterhood. This semester
has reminded me that Setons is not just a service club, but a whole group of
girls that I can lean on for support—my sisters!
