Laila Zommers: Sisterhood

     Hello! My name is Laila Zommers and I’m from Seattle, WA. I’m double majoring in Accounting and Business Administration (with a Finance concentration). I am the oldest of 3, and my younger sister (17) and younger brother (15) are my best friends! Joining Setons this year has truly been one of the best decisions I have EVER made. Outside of Setons, I am an active member in the Gonzaga Women in Business club. I love to cook, go on runs, hang out with friends, shop, and explore the Spokane coffee scene.                                            Out of our three pillars, I have resonated the most with Sisterhood as it’s the backbone of everything we do in Setons. Leadership and service could not thrive the same without it. Finding a group of like-minded women has been super beneficial in my college experience and my growth into the young woman 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.
