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.

Kaitlyn Anardi: Service

Oh hi! My name is Kaitlyn Mae Anardi. I am from Lake Tapps, WA which is around 30 minutes South of Seattle. I am majoring in Biology with the hopes of going to Dental School once I graduate from Gonzaga. I would also like to consider myself a student-athlete. I play on a coed-boone softball AND volleyball team. I spend most of my time studying; however, my roommates and I like to end each day by watching an episode of Gilmore Girls. I also love going to yoga classes and treating myself to a cute iced beverage (coffee, chai, matcha, tea). I’m thrilled to be starting my sophomore year off as a Seton!

The pillar I am reflecting on is service. I have always tried to be involved in my community. At home, I volunteer at the Auburn Food Bank and I mainly restocked the shelves, organized the pantry, and helped unload donations from cars. Last year, I started to volunteer at the SpokanAnimal, where I would take the dogs waiting to be adopted on walks. I loved both experiences, however, I have discovered an even deeper value in serving my community through Setons. My small group goes to the Boys and Girls Club for a couple of hours each week. I have been able to connect with kids and become a source of positivity in their lives! We play GA-GA ball, make clay creations, and work on homework after school (which also means I have to brush up on my long-division skills). I enjoy every minute I spend doing service here.
