Time Cover The cover of this book is only one example of the endless amazing art pieces that Delores has created. This experience was intended to push UNI students out of their comfort zones, but my experience was the exact opposite. From the moment I met Delores, I was everything except uncomfortable, I felt like I had known her my whole life. Delores has loved a lot as well as lost a lot, but her steadfast faith has held strong despite any circumstance in her life. She is a strong, loving woman, and her passion for art, serving others, her children, and her grandchildren shines through in all she does. I strive to live life in a way that she does; never taking a day for granted, letting my loved ones know that they are appreciated, and serving others. Delores now has a chapter in my own story that I will share with my future students and my own children. I AM . Delores Stibal I am creative and serving I wonder how that would look in orange I hear the longing in my mind to not be afraid to create I see the beauty in portraiture I want to paint portraits in watercolor I am creative and serving I pretend to go to Italy and paint during lavender season I touch the hearts of many I worry about the world that my grandkids are growing up in I cry for all the things I have lost I understand what life is all about I know there are things that matter in life beyond the worldly I dream about being able to travel more I try to keep fit and stay upright I hope for the happiness of my kids and grandkids I am creative and serving Delores Stibal, Western Home Communities Senior Kendra Crawford, UNI Human Relations Senior 2 Human Relations’ Reflection Through our Human Relations class at the University of Northern Iowa, we have been given the opportunity to work with seniors in the Western Home Communities. Having this opportunity has allowed the others and myself in this class to hear stories from individuals that lived during a widely different time then we live. We have been able to create bonds with these individuals and relate to them in ways most of us never thought was possible. Personally, I have been able to gain a lot of insight through this experience. I am very close with my grandparents and have heard many of their stories time and time again, but being able to meet a senior that I am not related to has allowed me to understand what other individuals went through in their lives. I was able to hear stories about how they met their significant others along with what struggles they have had to go through. This has given me the ability to reflect on my own life and understand that all individuals go through good and bad times. This experience has allowed me to become a better person by simply forcing myself to listen closely to stories that I may never have heard otherwise. Thanks to all of the individuals at the Western Home Communities for allowing us to experience this opportunity. Thanks for inviting us into their homes. We are better prepared for working with individuals that have vastly different lives then our own. We understand that the lives they live make them who they are. Montana Watkins, UNI Human Relations Senior 3 Gratitude is the Lifeline to Happiness Dear Seniors, Thank you cards create an opportunity for the writer and establish affirming anticipation for the receiver.
