the one thing that really stuck out to me most was the intense dedication Mrs. (Johnson) Lozano had for her profession as a teacher...When there were students who were falling behind on their work, her no nonsense attitude was something I really admired and transferred into attitudes about my own academics... I wanted to emulate her dedication to her discipline...I began to understand not just skills I could use in the classroom but life...I will continue to remember after I have long left GSIS, and have been an integral part in why I love my GSIS community. Ms. Lozano is a friend of mine that I have tremendous respect for. Because of her I grew and formed my place in my school community...This is the power of a teacher; To enable a student to realize their passions and strengths, recognize their value in their community, and allow them to be the best they can be.

Kim is an expert who loves teaching

hands-on art making classes and her passion truly inspires her students. Kim has developed and adapted units to reflect not only the trend of contemporary art but also the student interest and areas in need as well as

considering the secondary art department’s vertical alignment. She is a team player and Kim’s passion sometimes led her to offering to facilitate 2 subjects simultaneously in one block because the block schedule and student’s willingness to take the art course conflicted... Kim is very flexible to open a spot for one or two students in her existing art classes and provided separate lessons for each class by adopting flipped classroom, modeling proper demonstrations that helped train the students independence in their own learning, and by being extremely organized to meet the expectations and sometimes to also handle unexpected situations. She highly values the

teacher-student rapport and integrity and is always willing to provide needed advice to improve the student work quality and seek out for an area and ways that she can help.

Mrs. (Johnson) Lozano brings open-mindedness into the classroom. She is passionate about teaching, and willing to develop passions of her students. She teaches there is no limit to what her students can achieve. There is no feelings of fear, distress, or remorse when you know she is your teacher. During my sophomore year in high school, although I knew I was interested in creative writing, I was too insecure to share my work with anyone else. However, it was Mrs. Lozano who was willing to take a look at my work and encourage me to publish them. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to solidify my passion in creative writing, and I am forever grateful for that. There is no other teacher I've met who is more supportive, fun, and understanding than Mrs. Lozano. I cannot emphasise enough how much I look up to her.

Junwoo Kang is the author of the novel "Not All Gold Glitters".

I assure you, you're not the best art teacher or the best Publications teacher, but THE best teacher. You have a passion for teaching, you give constructive criticism, and you deliver eloquent lectures... You helped me embrace my artistic side. In ninth grade, I was in complete denial. I didn't think I had any artistic talent, and I believed that I didn't want anything to do with art, but you changed my perception. I can't emphasize enough how much of a role model you are to me.

Suzy Lee is author and illustration artist of 'The Cartoon Periodic Table". She continues to use art as a tool to educate others. She is a graduate of Northwestern University.

A great art instructor should balance their lessons with a combination of structure and freedom. No where was this more prevalent for me than when I was in Kim’s publications class; where we focused on putting out the school’s yearbook and newsletters. The class actually made you put what you learned into practice: it had guidelines that everyone had to follow but still allowed the freedom for students to design and write. The hours were gruelling but the sense of accomplishment I felt after completing the entire yearbook is the reason I decided to pursue a career in visual arts.

Ryan Kim is a New York and Seoul South Korean Illustration artist. His work is "deeply rooted in the practice of traditional surrealism and its ties to personal, psychological exploration."

What Mrs. (Johnson) Lozano means to me now differs greatly from what she meant to me when I first met her and while I was her student. I met her as a teacher, but she is beyond just a teacher. I knew I was blessed to have her in my academic life, but now I have left high school I can appreciate the days in school. I hope other students do not miss out on an amazing teacher.
