Eleanor Johnson: Service

Hi! My name is Eleanor Johnson, and I am from Snohomish, Washington. I am majoring in Accounting and Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems and have a minor in dance. Outside of class I work with Campus Kitchens, a program on campus that takes leftover food from campus dining to cook warm meals that are then served to Gonzaga Family Haven and O’Malley Senior Center. Along with Setons I am apart of Women in Business, Beta Alpha Psi, and the involved in the Gonzaga dance program. In my free time I like to read, get coffee, take workout classes, and watch Gilmore Girls.   I joined Girl Scouts in first grade and ever since, Service has been extremely important to me and something I strive to keep a part of my life. Growing up in Girl Scouts allowed me to recognize the importance of helping those in my community from an early age and has ultimately led me to be the person I am today.

Sofia Almy: Service

    Hello! My name is Sofia Almy and I am from Bonney Lake, Washington. I am a Biology major here at Gonzaga, when I'm not studying I enjoy golfing, skiing, tennis, and hiking! I also love reading, and doing crafts like knitting and crochet. Although I'm usually not a huge TV watcher, I've recently watched the Martha Steward documentary and am now her biggest fan. I'm also an avid traveler (29 countries and counting). I have 2 younger brothers and two dogs! I am a part of the fly fishing club, and Delight Ministries here on campus! I am loving being a part of Setons this semester and am looking forward to our retreat coming up!
                                            
    The pillar I am highlighting this week is service! This past semester I was placed at the Isaac Foundation which was the most fulfilling experience. I volunteered during clubhouse hours at the Isaac Foundation, which provides a space for 6th-12th grade students on the autism spectrum and with other special needs or intellectual disabilities to socialize, study, make friends, and explore new interests. Once I got to go on an adventure with some of the kids on the bus to visit a flatstick pub downtown to help them practice ordering at restaurants, crossing the street, and riding the bus! We also did smiles and frowns every week where we would go around the circle and talk about the best and worst parts of our week. I really enjoyed being able to connect with the kids and talk about their days. Overall I have loved volunteering at Isaac Foundation and although I am sad for my placement to be over I am excited to start my new placement for the semester at boys and girls club.
