CHLOE GIBSON: SISTERHOOD

Hi! My name is Chloe Gibson, and I'm from Bellingham Washington, and I am an Elementary Education and Dance major/ minor here at Gonzaga. I have a huge passion for all things art, music, and dance! I love to ski, adventure, and hang out with my friends in my free time! This year, I am looking forward to creating close friendships with all of my Seton girls and serving our community with this amazing group! For my pillar, I will be talking about sisterhood!  Sisterhood has always been a huge part of my life. As a big sister, the importance of being a person someone can lean on and bond with is a life skill everyone should carry with them. Through Setons, we see sisterhood in everything we do.

Grant Thomas: Artisans Reflection

My service this year with Knights of Gonzaga has been challenging but extremely rewarding. Going into Artisans I didn’t really know what to expect. I had not worked with mentally disabled people before and I was slightly nervous. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for me to feel comfortable with my mentee, Matthew. While he was noticeably nervous at first, we quickly grew closer. After a few weeks he went from agreeing to whatever I suggested doing (coloring, playing board games, Mario Kart, etc.) to making his own suggestions. The next few weeks were much more enjoyable for both of us. He suggested we play ping pong, which we both liked a lot, and we also colored pictures that he signed and gave to some of his family members. Doing activities that I can tell he enjoys was a big turning point in the friendship. It made me feel like my service was truly appreciated and I feel that I am now making a positive impact on Matthew’s life. Overall the experience has been very positive and I have enjoyed service more than I thought I would. I am fortunate to be a part of Knights and Setons, where one can get so much out of service like Artisans.
