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.

Karina Clark: Sisterhood

    Hi everyone, my name is Karina Clark and I am this year's class Chaplin! I am from Sacramento California and I am majoring in Nursing. Nursing is something that I am super passionate about, a lot of the women in my family are or were nurses so choosing this career path was something that made so much sense for me. I played lots of sports in high school including swimming and playing water polo. I still swim all the time for fun! In my free time I love to get outside, especially right now before it gets too cold. I also love to do crafts or be creative in any way. Since it's fall time, I am currently re-watching Gilmore Girls of course!

                                            
    The pillar I chose to write about is sisterhood, arguably the best pillar of Setons. When I joined Setons I was excited to be a part of a club that was so passionate about being involved in volunteering but also about bringing girls together. I remember when I went to events before I applied and seeing last year's class and how tight-knit they were and I was so excited to be a part of something that would bring me so close with other girls. We have been together as a class now for a couple of months and I already feel this bond that is bringing us closer. Volunteering placements have also allowed me to get closer with some of my other Setons and we always have the best stories! Sister dates are also my favorite because we are all still rightfully getting to know each other better cause there are so many of us so it's been so fun to spend time with other setons and do fun stuff! I am so grateful for the girls Setons has brought me and I can't wait to make more memories.
