Yuna Jang: Sisterhood

Hello! My name is Yuna and I am from Sacramento, California. A bit about my home life, I have a sister who currently attends Baylor University on track to become a doctor and I am currently studying nursing. My parents own their own sushi restaurant so I can confidently say sushi is my favorite food (and I know good sushi). Other than Setons, I am also involved in the Gonzaga Student Nurses Association here on campus as well as when I’m at home from school, I work at my local gym’s kid’s club because I love working with kids! Although nursing is pretty rigorous academically, in my spare time I live with 3 other roommates and we love to cook, watch movies, go on walks, and shop!  I chose the Seton pillar of sisterhood. This pillar is truly what drew me to Setons in the first place. As a 2nd semester freshman girl, I felt like I had met a lot of people but didn’t truly connect with any to call them a close friend.

Alysa Kotsakis: Service

    Hi! My name is Alysa Kotsakis. I am from Mililani, HI, central on the island of Oahu. I am a Nursing student and plan on becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I also play drums for the Bulldog Band and love playing and traveling for the basketball games. Besides the band, I love to spend my free time with the Hawaii Pacific Islander Club, Delight club, and especially Setons! 


    I will be reflecting on the service pillar. Service is an important part of my life both at home and at school. I volunteer at my Church’s Sunday School as an office aid and classroom assistant for the younger classrooms. I also volunteer with the Best Buddies Non-Profit which builds friendships for students with intellectual disabilities. These experiences with children have prepared me for my time serving the community through Setons. Once a week I volunteer with my small group at the Boys and Girls Club where I mostly work with Kindergarten and 1st Graders. We play games, work on homework, and chit-chat during supper. I love every minute there and will always remember the connections I made with the kids. The Setons also do a monthly service event and my favorite so far was with the Isaac Foundation where we handed out candy and did trick-or-treating activities for children with Autism. Both the weekly and monthly services have helped me connect with my community and I look forward to my time doing service every week!
