Sarah Ott: Leadership

     Hi friends! My name is Sarah and I am from Los Altos, California. I am currently majoring in nursing and I hope to become a nurse anesthetist later down the road. Aside from my involvement in Setons, some things that I participate in at Gonzaga are Delight Ministries and various intramurals. In my free time, I love going skiing, doing Peloton spin classes, and eating sushi. A fun fact about me is even though I eat sushi all the time, I cannot seem to figure out how to use chopsticks if my life depended on it. My favorite thing about Setons is being able to meet so many girls that I may not have met otherwise!
     The pillar of Setons that holds the most significance to me is leadership. Strong leadership is what lays the foundation for the other pillars to thrive. Without exercising positive leadership skills, we would not be able to coordinate service events or turn our ideas into realities. Additionally, having good leadership skills is what sets us up to create meaningful relationships with others. Our deep sisterly bonds would not be able to flourish without being able to lead conversations or be the first to reach out to others. Being a part of Setons has inspired so much growth in my ability to lead. One way I have been able to practice leadership is through my executive role as Chaplain. In my position, I get to share a piece of Setons history with my sisters at our weekly meetings and organize ushers for student mass every Sunday. I am so grateful to be a part of such a supportive and encouraging community where I can grow in leadership and never fail to be inspired by my fellow sisters.
