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. However, once I joined Setons, I got to truly and deeply connect with ...

Emmy Duong: Sisterhood

    Hi! My name is Emmy Duong and I’m from the beautiful Portland, Oregon. I’m majoring in psychology, minoring in dance, and am on track to get my elementary education certification. I’m hoping to become an elementary school teacher! My family consists of my mom, dad, sister (Katie), and cutie dog (Charlie). Outside of Setons, I love to participate in intramural sports and dance at Gonzaga. Before college, I did competitive dance! I also enjoy doing almost anything with my friends: going on drives, shopping, hiking, playing board games, etc. My current comfort movies are Soul Surfer and Anyone but You. Listening to music is one of my favorite things ever, especially Taylor Swift. Setons has been the best part of my sophomore year and I have made the loveliest friends because of Setons. 

    Being a member of Setons this year has taught me the power of sisterhood in so many ways. I have experienced sisterhood through each sister date I’ve been on, getting to spend intentional, individual time with my sisters. I have experienced sisterhood through the weekly meetings, showing up for each other each Wednesday at 9pm in college hall 325. Even when the meetings run long, they are still almost always my favorite part of the week. I have experienced sisterhood on the car rides to service, we are always singing, talking, or laughing. I have experienced sisterhood through meaningful service experiences shared with my sisters. I have experienced sisterhood through the monthly socials doing fun activities with my fun sisters, retreat especially comes to mind. I have experienced sisterhood through the web kindness, hearing each sister lift another sister up. I have experienced sisterhood through the hugs, waives, and smiles I’ve received when passing by my sisters around campus. To any of my sisters reading this, thank you for teaching me kindness, strength, and love through each of my interactions with you. I truly consider each of my sisters a dear friend, Setons are forever, Setons are the best!!!
