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.

Maddy Way: Service

Hello! My name is Maddy Way. I am from Mercer Island Washington. I am studying Accounting at Gonzaga University. I have a little sister and two cats. My favorite things to do are going to coffee shops, painting, cooking, skiing, and exploring new places with my family/friends. My favorite shows are Gilmore Girls (especially watching with my mom), any reality dating show, or a real estate show. I am a big Star Wars and Marvel girl too. All though Setons is coming to an end, I am looking forward to continuing all the amazing friendships I gained through Setons.

Service is such an important pillar in my life and in Setons. In high school, I had participated in The National Charity League (NCL) with my mom. This is something that shaped my high school experience because I got to volunteer and help people with my mom and friends. This experience helped us bond closer than we would have without it, because in my opinion helping other people ultimately brings you closer together. This is also what Setons is about to me. I have the wonderful opportunity to help people with people that I love, creating an even more meaningful experience than it would have before. I specifically love monthly services because there are so many of us, it feels like we are really making a difference and helping these people who need it. It is also an amazing bonding experience and a way to interact with people we may not typically interact with every day. I am so grateful for everything and everyone Setons has brought to my life.
