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. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Aiva McCargo: Service

          

        Hi everyone! My name is Aiva and I am a Business major from Bothell, Washington. My hobbies include baking, watching movies, fitness, and hanging out with friends and family. I am the youngest of three girls, so I am very lucky to have two wonderful older sisters. My family and I also have a french bulldog named Kiwi, who is my pride and joy. Two things I am really looking forward to is spending Thanksgiving with my family and also the Setons retreat coming up in January.


        The pillar I chose to share about is service. I work off-campus for Second Harvest, which is a non-profit hunger relief organization that serves 26 counties and feeds 55,000 people weekly. My job allows me to work closely with the volunteers of Second Harvest, many of whom are regulars that devote more than ten hours weekly to helping our organization. This has been an incredibly impactful experience for me and in all my years of service I had never before encountered such kind-hearted and selfless people. The service I do every week for Setons at CAPA is always a highlight of my week and something I look forward to. The girls in my group that I have gotten to know well are incredible women with passion for serving others. These experiences have helped me grow as a person and expand my own heart for service. I am so grateful to have had these experiences and I look forward to continuing growing as both a person and in my ability to serve my community.
